Hi, from the middle of Australia

[Ryan550]

So I joined, just because I found a forum for the old Zephyr, so I'm a 40 year old mechanic from Alice Springs in central Australia, I've only just got my motorbike license, I know I;m pretty slack, but my parents and brothers have always had theirs.

Anyway I kind of inherited this old Zephyr 550 from my brother, he picked it up from a friend, without keys, and with a fuel problem, then gave up on it.

So I'll be around here trying to figure out how to get this bike running properly instead of just sort of running as it is now, and probably also asking stupid questions about motorbikes since I've never really had too much to do with them.

Thanks
Ryan
