Hello from California

Lurkable · February 25th, 2009, 01:27 AM

Hi, my name's Andrew. This 09 is the first bike I've owned. I sold my car to buy the bike new and so far have no regrets. Well that was only three months ago but what can I say...I am absolutely IN LOVE with this bike. I've put 7000 miles on it since then. The bike really amazes me every day and I'm starting to think she may never have a second owner.

Aloha and welcome, Andrew.

mahalo for joining us

Lurkable · February 25th, 2009, 01:48 AM

Ah, thanks Kelly for turning me onto the site.

kkim · February 25th, 2009, 02:10 AM

You are most welcome.

Perhaps you can tag along with Alex when he does some of his runs, if you're looking for someone to ride with.

miks · February 25th, 2009, 03:16 AM

Welcome!

Nice bike, love the rim tape.

OldGuy · February 25th, 2009, 08:03 AM

Greetings Andrew - glad to have you on board. Pull up a chair and enjoy.

athimmel · February 25th, 2009, 09:16 AM

Hi Andrew! Looks like you did what I did. My car went belly up and I bought a blue 09 Ninja. And I'm also in Northern California. How strange is that?

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Thanks Howard. I just had my dealership order the cowl for me. It looks nice - the only downside is that it didn't come complete with the velcro, contact cement, and written apology that would have been required to make the piece a real winner in my heart. As it was, I managed to obtain the velcro and contact cement which have been good enough to at least keep it attached to the back of my bike.

Why do you have to do that to keep it on the bike? Is there something wrong with the clips?
