Racer x's new bike

So I lucked out. The owner of the 2007ninja I rebuilt the top end of the engine on a few months ago decided to upgrade. Since I did not charge him for the repairs he donated the bike to Dark horse Racing. This is a good thing because I need wheels. My van has. 550000 miles and is in need of a lot of work before the next race. My scooter is good but having some trouble with hills. It's not my fat . It's something to do with the clutch.

So I am now a 250 ninja rider again. It's a 2007 with 12k on the odometer and about 500 miles on the top end rebuild. Totally stock and I will leave it that way.

It's like having a classic car. It even has the original tool kit. I can't wait to ride it.

nice, gotta love how karma works

only someone who truly understands how a machine works and needs to be treated can make a vehicle last 550k miles (I assume it's a diesel van)
