Finally went from lurker to owner

GreatScott · June 22nd, 2014, 10:13 PM

I've been a lurker on motorcycle boards for years. Researching, pricing and just overall drooling over motorcycles. Well, on June 7th the stars and the planets aligned and I handed over $2,300 for a 2010 Kawasaki Ninja EX250 Special Edition.

I'm in love with it and not questioning my purchase of a 250 at all.

Welcome! You take the MSF yet?

Who sells those crash bars?! I'm guessing it's a custom installation.

My wife and I took the course a couple of years ago. She has a grueling commute to work every day and promptly bought a scooter. I on the other hand live four blocks from my office and couldn't use "my commute" as a justifiable excuse. Great course and I highly recommend it. I've even been toying with the idea of taking the more advanced courses.

I have no idea. I thought it said CES but a buddy of mine has frame sliders from OES. If you go to OES's website you find that their logo is different and this product isn't on advertised. May just be a Chinese farkle the prior owner bought. I know it works though because you can see where it had slid and only the sliders got scuffed up.
