thompson1407 · July 28th, 2009, 11:50 PM

hello, my name is Gene. I am looking to purchase a bike when I return home. All my friends talk about riding and how much fun it is so I fell in to the peer pressure I guess...

heres for a safe return and lots of fune on a bike when you get it.

thompson1407 · August 2nd, 2009, 04:26 AM

I've been looking around at some bikes I wanted to get and fell in love with the Ninja ZX 6R Monster Energy. I was just curious as to how hard would it be to get this bike in about eight months. Is it a limited Edition bike? If anyone could help that'd be greatly appreciated.

angrycrow · August 2nd, 2009, 08:48 PM

my advice would be look for dealerships around Ft. Stewart and see if they have them in stock , if they dont they can more then likely order it from other dealerships and have it shipped to them. as for finding it in 8 months it shouldnt be a problem in my opinion. just make sure you take your MSF course when you get back in garrison, if you havent already. Good luck with the search.

thompson1407 · August 3rd, 2009, 08:48 AM

thanks for the info!

richierich781 · August 3rd, 2009, 10:19 AM

Welcome. Watch out for all those white and orange cabs! lol
