I'm in the Saratoga Springs, NY area.

Unless you are a GLUTTON for punishment, Like me...
Buy a better bike and it will be a lot less grief/money in the long run!
I have spent way over $1000 (don't tell the wife
) on my barn fresh $600.00 GT750 and it is a ways from being done. THEY ALWAYS cost a lot more than you figure it will...

My first bike was a free GT380J. It cost about $20 to get running right, lol.
