Thanks! I hope everything will be well with it tomorrow when I see it. I am really excited about it. I spoke to the seller a bit today to get his address and get some more info at the same time. He bought it from his friend 2 years ago and didn't ride it since. He says that when he bought it fr

I made a similar list when I bought my VT750C2 last year. It makes it a lot easier to track what's happening to it indeed. Le samedi 14 mars 2015 12:20:42 UTC-4, Allen a écrit : > > I use this checklist to not only keep track of what I have fixed on what > bike, but it also helps keeping track o
