View Full Version : Back to bike one....

I left Kauai just over a month ago now...
leaving my beloved 250 behind. I finally finalized the sale a few days
ago, and I got $2000 for it...in spite of the laydown it had to it's name.

So I arrive in Prescott via Western CO. I've been looking for a bike the
whole time..I ALMOST pulled the trigger on a Ninja 500, but then I saw
that the headgasket wasn't really on right...
retard owner = epic fail.

After arriving in Prescott, I looked at old cafe racers and the like in an effort to score bike #2.
I really did want a nice bike that was a bit more powerful. And the right color.
I guess that was ego talking.

Well, when this deal popped up, my ego got told where it could go--and to shaddap while it was at it. Told by my Jewish side of course! :)

2006 Ninja 250
Blue
5100 miles
near mint
Gorilla Alarm
Cig adapter (I know right?)
custom grips
needs tires

$1500.

/sigh
I thought I was going bigger...maybe another few months on a 250 will be good for me.

It's pretty stinkin clean tho... the mechanic that looked over it for me said
"I don't think you will find a cleaner one anywhere around here..."
I tend to agree.

It's the BlueAngel.

Congrats, Mac.

Good to see everything worked out and you're still a part of the fold, even if you're not with us on Kauai.

Good luck in whatever the road brings you, my friend.

Aloha!

You know, I want to upgrade mine, but I still love it. It may be small and underpowered, but you can't help but love the li'l 250. Not to mention it would be great to hold on to and pick up another bike. That way while one is down for maintenance, the other is available to ride. :)

exactly!
I really wanna do a fender elim, lower it a tad, and flushmounts.
After I put the new BT45 Bridgestones on there of course. :D

I think that would make it hawt. Komohana turned me on to the
Fend-elim kits...pretty slick stuff.

Blue is good. It's a quiet statement of ego.

Take Care

Mac, Great score! That`s a beautiful bike. Cig adaptor can handle a battery charger, Tyre inflator, and all sorts of stuff. Not a bad thing to have.
