Hello all,
First post today, but I've been lurking for a while. I bought a 91 hawk in January and let it sit for quite a while before really riding. I still don't get to ride as much as I'd like, especially since I have no commute to work.
Immediately after purchasing the bike, I had to rejet it because it had a serious bog problem. Some leaner jets and everythings gravy at the moment. I'm in the process of putting on some new Avons and chain/sprockets this week, and hopefully I'll feel a bit safer without the cut rear tire. Only think I don't like about my bike is that some gooberhead painted it purple once-upon-a-time. Proper red paint will be coming in the next few months, I hope. Enjoy the ride.

ps. that handle comes from my college mtn bike racing days, but applies just as well to the motor bike. Slow and steady!
