I used to be on Kawiforums a while back when I originally got into motorcycling, I rode a 08 Candy Plasma Blue 250r with a FMF exhaust. After the ninja was taken from me :pout:, I then moved on to a 09 Yammi YZF-R6S which was a fantastic supersport but it also got taken from me recently :pout:

Yeah my luck sucks ass, especially since I was laid off about a month ago as well. Anyways my reason for coming here was that KKIM invited me to this site and I have a few friends who post here as well. Im actually considering going back to a 250r, hopefully it wont be too long.

Now my reasons for going back to the 250, the 600 was fantastic and I will always love any race replica bike. But I felt that I was getting lazy with my riding abilities by relying to much on the 600's throttle and power. Now you most likely realize that a supersport is hard to max out on the street legally with their top end being around 160mph its just not sane to really push those bikes outside of the track. I found myself being faster through corners on the 250 and actually feel like I could improve my speed by moving back to a smaller bike.

It will probably be a little while before Im back on the road as I need to get a job first, so in the meantime I guess I will hang around and be entertained here :D

thanks again for inviting me KKIM

:welcome:

Aloha and welcome, Ken.

You'll find the people here friendly and helpful. Man, you've had some bad luck lately... may I suggest you start off with the joke thread to cheer you up? :D

Settle in, make yourself comfy and hopefully we can help convince you to go back to a 250 real soon!

BTW, what type of work do you do?? Perhaps someone here might have a connection... you never know.

mahalo

I think so. Seriously though, I hope times get better, they will. Keep your head up and enjoy the ride.

Welcome kenny.



Note to self: Dont leave bike alone in simpsonville..LOL

Im starting to wonder if there isn't a big ring going around where they are shipping parts out of Charleston

If they are let me know because I'd love to get my hands on that r6 you had. It was purdy.

Can I higher Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan? They would bust this case wide open

Yay, got a job offer today, Ill keep you guys updated once I finalize everything

Good Luck on the job offer ... and :welcome: aboard!

hey kenneth welcome. when you say your 2 bikes were "taken", do you mean stolen? or repo'ed from the bank? in either case, that sucks.

congrats on the new job. looks like your luck is taking a positive turn. :)

or repo'ed from the bank? in either case, that sucks.

Yep, ya gotta watch out for us repo people.. We can be a scary bunch, especially the female kind.. :D

And welcome to the OP.. :welcome:

Welcome! :wave:

No neither one was repo'ed I have never been that far behind on my bills at any point in my life. Besides I would eat ramen noodles every day if it meant I got to keep the bike.

Thanks for the warm wishes.
