Any riders in Kingston?

Firehorse · September 28th, 2011, 09:38 PM

I'm a new rider but would love to meet others in the area. If you're a new rider or an experienced rider with some patience I'd love to have someone to practice with or take slow-style rides with. I'm still at the under 4000rpm stage.

If you're too far ahead of my learning curve at this point - no problem. Got any good roads to share? Would prefer quiet, twisty and challenging. What's your favourite roads in the area?

Alex · October 2nd, 2011, 08:11 PM

Hi T! Surprised at no response to this as of yet, I thought there were a few folks up there... Are there any listed on the member map yet?

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 09:53 PM

Hi Alex

Yes, I was kind of surprised too since I see so many ninjattes in the city. Closest people who registered themselves were in Toronto, at least 2 1/2 hours away. Not even anyone across the water in the US near me and it's only about 1/2 hour away.

I'll have to pluck up the courage to send a pm to one of the members that I know that lives here. He or she doesn't post so, I hope it's not too intrusive to just say hi and put out a meet offer

What's the legalities of making myself a ninjettes.org T-shirt using the proper logo?

I need to wear my ninja cap more often!

Alex · October 2nd, 2011, 10:01 PM

You don't even need to make 'em yourself. Just check out store.ninjette.org, there are whole pile of different shirts and other items with a few different ninjette site logos. If you have a different version of the logo in mind, let me know, and I can load it up there as well.

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 10:10 PM

Need to stop reading so much and have a look around, it's like I keep getting stuck at the front door!

Thanks!

Alex · October 2nd, 2011, 10:12 PM

Just click on the Portal Page link at the top left. At the top left of that Portal Page, there is a Site Navigation widget that lists all of the main areas of the site.

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 10:19 PM

This could turn into a long night!

While I've got your eyeballs, is there some way to have the page bang up to the top of the page when you're at the bottom post? There's usually a little arrow on the far right lower corner but I don't see one and my notebook is really, really picky re touchpad..

Alex · October 2nd, 2011, 10:28 PM

What browser are you using? I spend most of my time in Chrome now. On a mac, hold command down and hit the up arrow. On a PC, just hit the home key; either of those should take you back to the top of the page. vBulletin doesn't have a link to take back to the top of the page, but I can look into adding one if there's a good place to put it. Can you post up a link to a page that has an arrow like that?

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 10:32 PM

Found the function key and hit HOME, worked! Thanks!

The fastest arrow is here: www.fireblades.org

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 10:36 PM

hmm, in that last link, it only shows up when you're logged on,
It's just an arrow where we have a the blog icon.
Want me to ask what the code is for it? I don't think it's a big trade secret.

Alex · October 2nd, 2011, 11:12 PM

OK - there is a new link near the bottom of the screen:

« Previous Thread | Top | Next Thread »

If you click "Top", it takes you right to the top of of the page.

Firehorse · October 2nd, 2011, 11:29 PM

One fingered browsing is back!
Thanks!

ktownninja · October 15th, 2011, 05:42 AM

Hey everyone, I recently purchased my '09 250R and looking to meet fellow ninja riders (or anyone else who rides) that live in the Kingston area. If you are interested and live around here please reply back to either this thread or feel free to PM me!

Thanks Chris

P.S. I do have a couple albums listed of my ride if you wanna check her out lol

ktownninja · October 15th, 2011, 06:03 AM

Haha, I guess I should have told you that I posted a Kingston thread. Didn't think you ever looked at the posts since I never saw you online. Now I know better.

I'll get a good pic of you when I meet you to post up in the 'guys thread'.

Maybe some other Kingstonians will show up here?

ktownninja · October 16th, 2011, 10:29 PM

lol yeah i dont come on too often mostly because all the local rides posted seemed to be no closer than ottawa :P
hey a photo shoot of our ninjas would be fun

maybe we can get one in before the season is over!
yeah im hoping to run into other ninja riders, maybe next time i see one i ll stalk them and chat them up at a red light?

lol or maybe they will stalk us when they see us riding around!

Firehorse · October 16th, 2011, 10:44 PM

Well we've got the red and blue so we need to meet the green and the black to make a set.lol.

It's looking a little clear tomorrow, I don't know if I should even hope for a riding day. If the weather holds and I get up early and get to the bike, I'll bring my phone and call you from there instead of home.

Saw your pics, nice! No sliders yet? I'm looking at the race rails from impaktech
These ones don't interfere with clearance and they look awesome!

They're about 230 plus $50 shipping. Good reviews for engine and fairing protection. I'd get black of course just in case I paint the blue into RedBull racing colours.

I can dream! lol

ktownninja · October 16th, 2011, 10:54 PM

cant forget the special edition white

that would make one killer photo shoot!
yeah im usually up early so feel free to hit me up and we can ride if its nice out!
thanks!

and i havent decided if i want sliders :S i dont want to sink too much money into her but those ones that you are looking at are pretty slick! red bull theme eh!? lol i think that would look cool, might need to lose the vest tho :P dont want to draw attention away from the bike

lol

heehee, the vest is for my forays into new traffic areas, once I get some traffic riding under my belt, I'll go back to just my black gear. At Shannonville, I'll need redbull colours, Like Sebastian Vettel's F1 car.

, maybe I won't be as fast as the other women but I'll look good! I'm still not convinced about riding in normal traffic as opposed to just taking it to the track but I'm willing to try anything.

Did you know they have a new dirt track at Harrowsmith? May have to look into that too. Everyone always says dirtbikes will make you a better street bike rider so I'll be trying that next year.

yeah black gear is great because if you ever upgrade it will still match your bike!

and I think looking good being slow is wayyyyyyyy better than having an ugly bike that is fast :P lol
normal traffic is not so bad once you get used to it, try doing the major roads here in town during the "non-peak" hours, like mid mornings, or evenings, when traffic is way less

no, i didnt know about the dirt track but that does sound like a lot of fun! the only time i ever rode a dirtbike was @ slc for the msf course, but i wanna take one out and go off road

that would be stellar!
