    Old UK rider getting back in the saddle

    Hi there, just getting back into biking, I brought my bike with me when I came over from UK, a brand new oilcooled gsxr1100, my beloved baby, it's been a garden ornament for quite a few years but through the years it's been slowly biting into my mind that I should be back riding agian. So I did my test and hopefully safty the old beast and be riding this week. I got an old zx7r to ride once I'm back on the street while I take the gsxr back off the road to repair the cosmetic damage 8 years uncovered in collingwood has done. Looking forward to opening up the throttle again.

    The most common problem with motorcycles is the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
