It seems like all the San Diego members only showed up after I left the place.

MM Blvd always seems to be busy as ****, I tend to stay away from it and take the side roads or Miramar Road.

Yup. Unfortunately, I worked on MM Blvd and lived on Carroll Canyon Rd (the one with the I-15 exit directly between Miramar/Mira Mesa). The Ninjette made quick work of it with daily lane-splitting, so it wasn't that bad for me.

There's a red pre-08 ninja Dow here in Houma who works not to far from me. He pulled behind me for the third time when I got off of work yesterday.

Hurry up and get yours!

Sylum · November 28th, 2012, 12:20 PM

I'm working on it! :P

Madman44 · November 28th, 2012, 03:35 PM

I parked right next to a red new-gen in the PCC parking lot yesterday morning. Pasadena, ca.

Jiggles · November 28th, 2012, 05:23 PM

Red ninjette on 85 in a downpour

Thanks dude, you made me realize I'm a total ****ing pussy for not riding to work today

Singh2jz · November 29th, 2012, 02:41 AM

My first ninjette sighting!! i think..

'twas a black pre-gen with red flames parked at sjsu on tuesday..around 11ish

EternalNewb · November 29th, 2012, 08:37 AM

Blue current gen at 5:20pm yesterday around UC Irvine, on Peltason, turning right onto Campus.

rojoracing53 · December 7th, 2012, 04:26 PM

Spotted white ninja 300 heading down mines road toward Livermore at 2:30. We had one black and one red 2009 250's.

Roads are diirrrrtyyyy so Becareful out there.

CZroe · December 7th, 2012, 05:31 PM

Saw a gray or silver one on the back roads while on my way to the other side of the Georgie/Alabama border today. It was turning left into a gravel lot right behind a cruiser, so I think that must have been some kind of back-road biker bar or diner.

Byakkotai · December 8th, 2012, 09:34 PM

Saw a Black Ninja 300 at the Cupertino Square Mall today, first time seeing another 300 out and about. Then a 2012 black newgen on El Camino around Lawrency Expwy and later a newgen blue on Stevens Creek close to Wolfe. Lots of other bikes on the road today as well!

rojoracing53 · December 10th, 2012, 12:16 PM

Just saw a blue NewGen 250 getting on westbound 580 via vasco road in Livermore. Didn't look like the bike had any rear tail fairing, looked like exposed subframe.

Madman44 · December 30th, 2012, 08:14 PM

Saw a group of riders and a white 300 at the rear, going East on Figueroa Blvd. Los angeles, Ca.

Byakkotai · December 30th, 2012, 08:49 PM

Was beginning to wonder where this thread had gone haha

Kind of late - saw a rider with a Ninja 300 SE at the Great Mall yesterday.

rojoracing53 · January 5th, 2013, 04:11 PM

Sitting here at Denny's after this mornings ultramarthon and there's a Ninja just out side. Woodside rd and broadway

I see you

GearMonkey · January 5th, 2013, 11:12 PM

Move the green machine and is that not the most depressing picture ever? The shopping cart and bicycle really complete the scene.

Disclaimer: I ate Denny's for the first time in a long time last week in downtown Memphis. Just as awful and irresistible as I remember in college.

That might possibly have been me. Any further info? I don't remember when I drove by the Great Mall haha.

Hmmm...let's see. It was in the inner loop (intersection of Falcon and Great Mall Dr. by Marshalls), rider was sporting a green/black-ish helmet that complemented the bike and had what looked like a brown duffel bag backpack.

Was this you?

I'm guessing you don't spend much time in big cities?

Quite the opposite. Because of my job I'm in different cities every week, grew up in one and live in one now.

Hmmm if it was at night, then I could maybe see that. Green jacket too?

If I remember correctly green jacket as well. I'd estimate the time to be around 1-2 in the afternoon!

Pictures or it didn't happen

himynameisjoe · January 7th, 2013, 10:57 PM

Of all the bikers I saw on my ride today. No ninjettes

In fact, I don't think I can ever recall seeing one in my area! Everyone just rides GSXR's around here from what I've seen. There is this odd yellow R6 in the next town over that I can only assume is owned by a girl because it's been done up with pretty butterfly stickers...

Next time indeed

@tfkrocks - yes, maybe

the SE colors seen from afar and from the left make that 300 seem like one its SS bros, fierce!!

Madman44 · January 8th, 2013, 07:16 PM

I waved to a black new-gen going South on Eagle Rock Blvd today in Glassell Park/Eagle Rock around 1pm. They saw my wave and gave one back even though I was in my pick-up

Old Guy on a '08 · January 8th, 2013, 09:32 PM

Pickups are as closeto motorcycles as the get... and you sports car guys... ever put a ninja in the back of your sports car

GearMonkey · January 10th, 2013, 02:52 PM

Was walking the dog when I saw a green new gen with monster graphics on Atlanta Rd @ 4:00.

rojoracing53 · January 11th, 2013, 12:40 PM

Yellow pregen riding two up getting on north bound 880 via Jackson st (hwy)92 in Hayward Ca. 11:30 Friday

subxero · January 12th, 2013, 03:25 PM

blue new gen on 7 in Northern VA 4:10pm ish give or take

Madman44 · January 14th, 2013, 10:32 AM

Saw a green 2012 parked near mine at the Pasadena City College parking lot. Anyone here?

rojoracing53 · January 14th, 2013, 10:35 AM

God does anyone ever make a connection with this thread?

Falcor · January 14th, 2013, 11:37 AM

The other week it started raining and I needed gas so I pulled into the gas station on the corner of the light I was at when I read my gauge. Ended up pulling behind the same exact year and color of my 2012 newgen. The guy didn't have a under 21 license plate but he still looked about my age, he was sitting there on the little elevated cement slab that the pumps are on looking super depressed because he got caught in the rain. He had no jacket or gloves, but at least he had a helmet even though it looked a size or two too big for him. Eventually he noticed me creepily staring at him and then even more quickly than that realized we both had the same bike. He asked me a few questions about what I did to mine and if I had gone down yet. apparently he had been run off the road before o.0 and just had a bit of light fairing damage on the left side. I then looked at his rear tire and noticed it was squared out and barely had any tread left on the stock IRC. At this point I felt kind of bad so I offered for him to ride tandem with me to help guide him through the rain and traffic until he got to the area he needed to be in since I was going way further than him the same way. I noticed that when he lane changed he was trying to steer the bike rather than shifting your weight and pressing the bars which kind of scared me a few times. He kept trying to ride with no hands IN THE RAIN with a BALDING tire, I politely stated that I wouldn't do that too much in this weather with that tire and he stopped. With a little bit of coaching and some better gear he'd probably have less trouble, he told me he planned on selling the bike to get a car.

Eventually he got to where he needed to be and shook my hand at the light before his turn off. Hope he didn't have trouble down the side roads once he pulled off US1.

I'm still working on the remote gps tracking of all ninjettes, and we can automate this thread entirely.

Spotted two ninjas at the PCC parking lot today around 2pm. A red new-gen and a blue pre-gen.

When you figure out how to do that screw the ninjettes and set it to track the LEO's

Then an ap for iPhones and Droids that give an alert when any Ninjettes are in the area... (need any help in "discretely" installing transmitters

)
