New Guy

Hello all. just found this forum and was pleased to find something for the sub liter bikes.
I've been rider since 2007 and got my endorsement the same year so you can see I'm still a newbie to the two wheel world having started out at a late stage in life. Wife calls my bike my midlife crises.
Haven't ridden this year as I am in the process of moving and my Ninjette is at my neighbor's garage waiting for my new place to be finished. But as soon as I close on the new place it will be on!

Welcome Rick!

Just wanted to say you mid-lifers don't have a monopoly on crises. I like to think of mine as a quarter-life crisis

When the wife looks at the bike she just roles her eyes. I think she's jealous

Nice to meet you! Isn't the bike a mid-life solution? It'd be a crises if you still didn't ride one.

You're right it's the perfect excuse.

Welcome aboard Rick! Love the silver pre-gens; almost wish they offered the new gens in that color.
