Hello from Colorado!
Greetings!
Ryan is my name, I am 22 years old residing in Colorado. When I was younger I spectated a few motorcycle races, dirt and street, based on those experiences I have wanted a motorcycle since. One day the urge set in, the search for motorcycles began along with related costs and requirements to ride them etc. I discovered several motorcycle Vlogs and the ABATE site. After watching several Vloggers and visiting sites like Mordeth13 and Ninja250.org I decided that it was time to take the next step. Coincidentally my mother, going through a midlife crisis of some sort, wanted one as well. So after several weeks of researching and visiting local shops the trigger was pulled. We signed up to attend the ABATE/MSF course, then passed with flying colors. Upon completing the course my mum set out to buy a new bike immediately, whereas I decided to buy used as it was my first bike. I watched craigslist like a hawk for a week and a half before finding the right one. I arrived late one night went to bed but not before I made my daily check for bikes. What luck! I found a seller posting his bike for sale not but one hour before. I shot off an email as fast as my fingers would let me type: called the guy first thing in the morning to set up a viewing. After looking it over and a few pictures taken the bike was sold. An aesthetically flawless 2004 EX-250 with a hair over 3000 miles on her was now mine. I've owned the bike for several weeks now and love every moment that I sit on it. I hope my story didnt bore you to death. |

Welcome to the community. Have fun. I tried a V-Star 950 this spring at a dealer demo. Not as nice as my little Ninja.
Take Care |

Im in Westminster/Broomfield a few blocks south of the Jeffco Airport. I'd love to meet up with some local 250 riders, I see quite a few 250's on my commute home when heading north on Wadsworth.
