but not to motorcycle forums.

My kids both ride the Ninja 250. Looking for a site with bike specific info on the 250 as I'm not as well versed in it's specific nuances.

Me and my machine... that's back when it was new, and stock... very not stock at this time

My Daughter and her machine, on dads day at the U of I

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of my son, but I do have a pic of his bike.

I'll be back with more info later, need to get a reply from one of the mods before I do any more.

keep the black rubbery side down, and the painted side mostly in the up direction.

I wish I wasn't the only one in my family to ride

What year are those ninja's? I have a 2007 right before they came out with the newer generation. Mine blue and puurrddyyy.

welcome Rifleman!
Gotta love being able to go for a ride with the kids. May we all be so lucky.

Rifleman · May 23rd, 2014, 05:23 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome.

It's a double edge sword having your kids ride. You see them ride off into the night with rain coming and wonder if they are going to make it back to school in one piece. But its huge fun to speak the same language.

the blue is a 2004, she calls it Poseidon

the silver/flames is a 2007 and he calls it "Clifford" - the big red and sliver ninja

My daughter is in music education and was student teaching this semester. She was working with the instructor on the final exam and he said, "Do you know any Italian names we can put for the wrong answers?" so of course she quickly spouts out Biaggi, Rossi, Capirossi... "who are they?" Italian MotoGP motorcycle racers...

oh man, her street cred just keeps climbing... nothing like a motorcycle in the teachers parking lot to get an eyebrow raised.

This is too cool! I wish one of my parents rode. Sounds like you've got a really neat family.
