« on: March 02, 2007, 10:58:48 PM »
The bike is a 1992 250 nighthawk ,less than 600 miles on it was stored in a garage and just came out of the shop  after being fully serviced ,runs like a dream,the sign came from a old motorcycle dealership that closed about 17 years a go,the place is now a church,thy where happy to get rid of the sign,took a friend and me about ten min's with a grinder to get the sign off the building.

              That's really cool there. Nice bike and a Bike Sig is always cool to have around. No telling how many of these folks who are envious about both the bike and especially the sign. Only sign I have is a Jawa motorcycle sign. I'd like to have Honda, Indian and a few others myself. Congratulations! I'm sure you'll enjoy both of them. 8)

Wow!  Less than 600 miles.  Where are you going to put the sign?  Inside the shop?

I just bought a 93 model - a few months ago - just been sitting under a carport for a while - never really been serviced either - new sprockets and chain, plus a good clean up  - does not look as good as that - but mine is roadworth and not due to be renewed until August this year (cost me $700AU). nice quiet bike, and never seems to stop,.....it has 93000km's...

If you look close at the pic there is a blemish on the tank,sat under something that leaked on it ,but thats the only flaw with this bike.

The bike is a lot of fun to ride ,much more of a dosial and forgiving beast than any other bike I have riden,It will be come my daily rider as soon as I get it taged and titled,give the older bikes brake and not put so much ware and tear on tham.
