Hello from NJ -> CO

mpalakudiyil · March 15th, 2015, 05:18 PM

Hello Everyone!

My name is Matt. So I've been lurking on this forum for over 4 years but it's finally time for me to get a ninja! I actually reside in New Jersey but I will be living in the Denver Area from Mid-June till the end of August because I received an internship there. I plan on getting my motorcycle endorsement in NJ before I get there. I would like to purchase a Ninja 250 in mid July so I have a bike to ride and explore Colorado with for a few weeks! I would love to meet you guys out there and get started on my two-wheel journey!

Edit: I'm def gonna need to know someone who can help me test drive the bike I wanna get lol!

P.S. I posted this in the Denver community thread but it seems like nobody's alive over there

Hi, Matt! Welcome!

I'm sure there are some folks in CO that will help you in your pursuit for a bike.

They're lots of fun! (the bikes, anyway...)

Hi Matt, I'm Matt.

You'll see me passing through New Brunswick occasionally, mostly just to pass to Franklin Township on the other side. Look around at night for the naked 250 with a a red gas tank in the worst weather imaginable.

Welcome Matt!

I pass through New Brunswick heading up to Cycle Gear and Cross Country a lot.

Good luck with the purchase and if you find anything in my neck of the woods we may be able to help.

Haha, I've been obsessed with getting a Ninja 250 since 2011. I'm finally financially capable of getting a bike this summer and I won't have my parents to deal with over in Denver

@spooph was oh so generous to let me rent his bike during my time here in Colorado

Here's a video of my first ride. I was super nervous and made some silly mistakes but made it back in one piece!

Enjoy!
