We were starting to have a fair amount of chit-chat in the events on out Meetup Page, so I thought it would be nice to have a place for us to do exactly that

SO HERE IT IS!

lol, now to the first order of business! anyone willing to throw in some money for some business cards we could hand out to other ninjette riders we see? i figure if we each throw in like $2 I could have a couple hundred made. I was thinking something like this;

thoughts?

Vampyre · June 30th, 2011, 08:55 AM

I have stock matte black muffler if anyone wants it. FREE!!!!!!!! Just gotta pick it up.

caps · June 30th, 2011, 09:13 AM

I have mine cut already if anyone wants to hear how it sounds

Vampyre · June 30th, 2011, 02:17 PM

Yes I got the shorty levers

caps · June 30th, 2011, 02:21 PM

lol, ok that was pretty funny Joseph

caps · June 30th, 2011, 08:01 PM

Hey Joseph do you still have any of your stock signals? one of mine is... um...

yea...

Vampyre · July 1st, 2011, 06:51 AM

Yes I do, but I cut the wires off of some of them. I have shrink tubing and soldering iron to add you existing back to it though.

caps · July 1st, 2011, 07:08 AM

could I get one of them? I still have the wires so all I need is the little end with the bulb.

Vampyre · July 1st, 2011, 07:09 AM

No problem. I can bring it tomorrow.

caps · July 1st, 2011, 08:50 AM

Success!

caps · July 1st, 2011, 08:51 AM

I'm thinking of removing my snorkel and shimming my needles, thoughts?

Vampyre · July 1st, 2011, 10:22 AM

I haven't done any of that, but I want to one day, but I will wait until I have time to replace the filter with pod style and just do it all at once. For now I am happy with the performance and styling. Give me a month though and that may change.

caps · July 1st, 2011, 03:57 PM

yea I wish I would have had the pods to put in, but I removed the snorkel and shimmed it. you can try mine tomorrow if you want, it feels completely different.

Vampyre · July 1st, 2011, 06:26 PM

Might just do that. I have your signal in my tail already prepared for tomorrow.

caps · July 1st, 2011, 07:11 PM

SUCCESS AGAIN! im not gonna lie im pretty excited about tomorrow

caps · July 2nd, 2011, 05:35 PM

good day today, especially good to have working blinkers again!

Vampyre · July 2nd, 2011, 05:41 PM

Was a great time. Actually about ready to head ot Tampa at the moment. Not sure what we are doing.

matha028 · July 2nd, 2011, 05:48 PM

U takin the ninjette or cage? I had a food time today! Well I mean good but food works also. LoL I like the cards. I just found out about a ninjette in davenport. I'll try to recruit her tomorrow. Hey mat what are the chances we could get a word version of the cards? So I could print it out and give it to her? Cuz that card rocked.

Vampyre · July 2nd, 2011, 05:53 PM

Car. Going to hang out with some of Kristian's friends from college that live there. They all went to FSU together.

matha028 · July 2nd, 2011, 05:56 PM

That's cool. I'm looking forward to next weekend already. Joseph how long did it take to get the stickers in? I might order tomorrow. I liked them on ur bike. But I still wanna see these Other ones.

sombo · July 2nd, 2011, 06:20 PM

Well in case you didn't read my latest post in my accident thread, you can read about it now.

Hopefully this means I'll be able to put the bike in the shop relatively soon and get a few issues taken care of. Not going to fix the plastics at this point, more concerned with the ongoing mechanical/electrical issues that seem to be growing. Once this is done I'll start coming out with you guys.

matha028 · July 2nd, 2011, 06:28 PM

As long as u r doing alright. We will be meeting at minimum a few times a month. If u see other 250s ninja or that Honda thing we criticized today, rightly so. Invite them. We want a big group. The Kawasaki dealership KMS (u love them) want to get pics of a 250 group!

Vampyre · July 3rd, 2011, 06:44 AM

Adam, It took less than a week I think. It was only a day or two after the paypal transaction showed up on my bank statement. Also rim tape sucks to put on by your self.

I have word at work and my GF is a graphic designer. I will try to get her to come up with something tuesday.

Highly recommended to folks who are on the fence. Makes a great difference. Shimming the needles more so than the snorkle, but since that's so easy...

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 03:00 PM

yea I did both and like it, and just FYI it wasnt my fault....

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 03:05 PM

Hey Adam how do you check in at a meeting?

matha028 · July 3rd, 2011, 03:26 PM

On meetup? It is in the app. So there is a new guy in the group that doesn't have a 250 anymore. Do we keep the non 250s? I am thinking of setting it up so not just anyone can join. I feel like the title is specific enough to keep it to 250s.

Thoughts?

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 03:37 PM

keep it 250s and thats reddoak on here

sombo · July 3rd, 2011, 04:22 PM

I agree, it's a 250 group. If the big bikes feel that we don't belong with them, then we have every right to say they don't belong with us.

matha028 · July 3rd, 2011, 05:38 PM

alright. I'll let him know. He can still hang with us at the Harley ride or stuff but they will not really fit in on rides if they don't have 250s

Also check out this YouTube video. Got my signals blinking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYGcEmpisWA they tail light doesn't look as smooth as I thought it should. Would a different relay help that? Or does it look OK?

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 06:08 PM

i think it looks great, and I GOT MY LOWERING LINKS TODAY!

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 06:09 PM

oh, and Bill (Reddoak) is good people. As far as I am concerned he can ride with me anytime () as long as he is not trying to be on my bike

matha028 · July 3rd, 2011, 06:24 PM

I was thinking about that spring. Would it be easier to turn if someone was sitting on the bike compressing the spring?

Vampyre · July 3rd, 2011, 07:09 PM

No. It is easier to turn with the back of the bike raised and the rear wheel free floating in the air.

caps · July 3rd, 2011, 07:36 PM

We can do it next meetup if you want
