Hi from upstate NY

Lvr · November 4th, 2010, 03:00 PM

Hi all, I'm a fairly new rider from upstate NY (anyone else around?). I got a 2010 ninja (blue, cuz it's the best one

) over the summer, and I've put around 1400 miles on her so far.
I've been lurking around the site for a while, and decided I should start actively participating lol. I 've actually used a few of the DIYs already (kkim is my new hero). I've tried to upload a pic, hopefully that worked...

So far I've shimmed the carbs, removed the snorkel, installed LED flushmounts and integrated tail light, trimmed the rear fender, and I think that's about it.
I never planned to tinker with this thing so much, but it's so much fun...

No kidding! I had no intention of tinkering this much. I had no idea I could do this stuff lol. People at work think I'm crazy cuz I'm still riding the bike to commute even in 30 degree weather.

As you are finding out with the right gear and mind set temperature doesn't make any difference. Just look out for frost in the shadows or leaves on the road - they can jump up and get you.

Have fun and ride safe.
