Greetings from Northern California!

My 18 year old daughter is quite independent, and signed up for the California Motorcycle Safety Program on her own. Didn't even tell me until the week it was scheduled. Well, she passed the course and the DMV license test. She now has her California M1 permit, which I understand becomes a full on M1 license in 6 months.
So, to help out I bought her a 2009 GZ 250 with 553 miles showing on the odometer. Battery was dead, but a jump start got it to run smoothly for a few seconds at a time. Good sound and no smoke. Hopefully a new battery and some fuel system cleaning will make it a good runner.
