If the weather is good I might bust out the wifes bike...But pretty sure its going to rain.
The rest of you Ninja punks ride over towards Buford dam and come play on the lake with Mimi and I for a few Saturday afternoon

Had a great time with Xavier today. I think his forum name is @Xz1atl but not sure. He's a great guy. Taught me a lot. I feel a lot more confident than I did before.

Hey guys, I need new brakes and a new front tire. I'm really broke but I need new brakes and DEFINITELY need a new front wheel? Where could I get these cheap and fast so I can ride ASAP. My front tire might last me another 50 miles, and my brakes maybe another 100 miles. I'm in desperate need of these but I need to get them really cheap. I want nice brakes, I wouldn't mind another stock tire but anything would do. Can somebody please let me know where I should get them? Maybe cycle gear? Or are they overpriced?

It is generally recommended to replace both tires at the same time. I put battle ax BT-45's on my 250 and installed them myself and it cost me about 200 bucks. Check out the wiki here on ninjette http://www.ninjette.org/wiki/Index and http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Main_Page for more info than you could ever need about the 250s. I like http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/ www.revzilla.com and http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com . Shop around for the tires as the retailers are usually having some kind of sale. Buy the tires and brakes together and you can get free shipping. Post here before you buy online and we will make sure you have everything you need. Good Luck, Jeff

I think most 250 riders would steer away from stock, the stock IRC's were not very well received. I would say though, that if you found a killer deal on "like new" used stock tires than that would be a way to save a few bucks until you can put better ones on.

Here is what I bought. There are tons of choices when it comes to tires and even more opinions. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...50/-/-/142001/ http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...50/-/-/141946/ There are a bunch of good threads here on ninjette about tire choices. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ninjette+best+tires My favorite way to search ninjette is to go to google and just type what I am seaching for and include ninjette. I value what the folks on this forum say moreso than others but the decision will still come down to what you have decided in your research.

Get both if you could. it your just going to do the front one. Then I would get the same tread.

Sounds like a REALLY fun route! How's the group's typical speed? I don't play in street corners too fast. I save that for the track!
The question is going to be whether I wake up early enough to make it there by 8:30. Cumming is an hour and a half away from Athens, so I'd have to be ready to leave by 7. Do you guys leave from DD at 8:30 or do y'all usually eat and hang out a bit before riding?

I have an idea! Instead of coming all the way to Cumming, I'll meet you guys somewhere! Let me pick apart the route in a bit and find the closest point I can intersect your ride and join you. Would that be ok? If someone doesn't mind, PM me a phone number or two I can call/text tomorrow if I need to...
Edit: I'm going to meet you guys in Dahlonega tomorrow. Any guesstimates on the time you'll be passing through? I'll be there early, so no worries about exact times. I'm excited!!

We will make a stop at the Dahlonega WalMart 9:45ish and will be back on the road by 10:15 for those who rather meet up there instead of in Cumming.

Had a great time today even with all the PATHETICALLY slow traffic! It was also very nice to meet the new rider in the group, Ally.
Can't wait for the next ride..... |
