Hello (New member)

Post by rigsby666 »

Hi guys,

My name is Dave and I'm based in Herefordshire (UK).

I've only just come across this forum and thought it looked like something I would find very interesting.

I have a T20 project that I've been collecting parts for over the last few years but there is a lot of work to be done with it. So that's going to be fun but a huge challenge for me.

I also have a couple of GP125's and a GP100 in poor barn find kind of condition that I've had for quite sometime now, with the intension of making something out of the three. I have documents for one of the 125's. However, I have never got around to doing anything with them and have come to the conclusion that I have too many other projects and I will probably never do anything with them. So I am just pondering what to do with them. I'll probably end up moving them on to create some space.

I've been riding bikes for many decades and I'm just coming back from a 7 year break, so this year I'd like to get out and do a bit more actual riding (providing things don't just keep escalating with fuel prices to beyond my means). I won't mention my current 'on the road' bike because it's not a Suzuki (or a two-stroke). lol.

I'm looking forward to having a good rummage through the forum and if I can help anyone, I certainly will try. Thanks guys.

Welcome! :up: There are many T20 owners that will be able to help you out. Also, don’t forget that there is a wealth of info archived but available through a search.

Yes, the price of petrol has gotten very high- here in the US it varies currently from $4 per gallon to $8 gallon depending on what state you are in.

Ride on and enjoy! :clap:

Welcome in Dave. Several folks on here are UK based and very knowledgeable on Suzy 250s, so ask away.

I just paid £7.17 a gallon here in the UK, that's about $9.35, and that's one of the cheapest prices available here at the moment, it's insane!!

That's why my last 5 cars (including my current Kia Sportage turbo petrol) have had lpg fitted. Currently 73.7p/litre or £3.30 a gallon!

Not a cat, but a bike...!

How do you add attachments (such as a picture) on here, it says that it is invalid...?

As it's a 'free' forum and pics take quite a bit of memory, you'll have to use a site that hosts pictures and post a link. Soz. :cry:
