Hey everyone.

Saw a YouTube clip that suggested Ninja250 enthusiasts should come here and I'm shocked I had never seen the site before.

About myself, I'm 24, took the MSF course last summer (and passed) using their Kawasaki Eliminator 125 (felt fast to me! ><). So I've been chilling with this sweet "M" on my license ever since.... Now I just need the bike

. I've been saving and have enough for a brand new one. Just need to take the plunge so to speak.

It's pretty much been 6 solid months of daydreaming about the Ninja 250, and watching almost every 250 video on youtube.

I've got a whole plan for how I want to ride it completely stock for a couple thousand miles, then find a new exhaust, etc. etc. etc.

After I have all the gear ofc. I had to buy gloves for the MSF course and everyday these REVIT SLR gauntlets are just teasing me.....

So in conclusion, hi!

-Conor

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome, good on you for taking the course. Post up when you get your bike

cpm5038 · January 15th, 2011, 10:04 PM

Thanks, my basic plan is:

I) Get the Ninja
II) Retake the MSF basic course since it will have been nearly a year, and learning the basics while on the actual bike I plan to use just seems smart.
III) Take the MSF advance course
IV) Ride alot

I love that Pennsylvania offers the course completely free of charge seems ridiculous that anyone would choose NOT to take it....

That's strange... two of my posts never were posted. I think there was a message saying why but it was only up for like .05 of a second and I couldn't read why.

Alex · January 17th, 2011, 02:53 PM

They were posted, but put in the moderation queue. Until someone hits 50 posts on this board, their new posts go through a spam filter. Posting many links and/or images can trigger the filter. I've approved one of 'em so it shows up fine, and deleted the other. Once you have enough posts, none of your posts will be filtered.

Color coordinating your wardrobe eh, that will last for about a year or two. Anyways welcome to the commune and keep it shiny side up. By the way the eliminator 125 is the ****, the most fun Ive had on two wheels was with one of those bikes putt putting around at 10mph.

cpm5038 · January 19th, 2011, 08:18 PM

Haha! It's for safety I swear!

Ya that little 125 was a blast. Given that was the first and only motorcycle I had ever rode.

The very first exercise we did where you walk you bike while feathering the clutch I failed hard. Must have stalled it 10 times, but after that all the other exercises seemed to come naturally.

Welcome to the addiction, glad to see that you are getting properly equiped. Hoave fun and stay safe.
