Welcome to ninjette.org Crystal, You have selected a fine motorcycle, whereabouts in Northern CA are you? Alex meets up with a gang of thugs and does a Marin county ride every Sunday, I made it out once and intend on doing it again. There is a Ninja 250 ride planned for the 26th of this month, perhaps you will be ready to come out and play by then, see the group rides section, should be a no pressure mellow paced ride, perhaps we will see you then
