Gmr 5-31

Hit GMR today after discovering 20,000 people in my fishing spots in both baldy and azusa.
I actually strapped a rod on my back to bring today too but funk that noise. People every five feets.


It was all good because the weather was nice and the flowers were in full bloom, matching my machine. Earth and machine came together today. I rode no brakes, no hand on the front brake all day. All controlled by throttle and positioning. Trust in myself completely.




















Nice pics but no fishes yet again. My motorcycle fishing luck is shot!
Thanks for looking.

I'm at 7,000 miles I just had my chian adjusted and I cleaned it myself- pretty easy.

I ordered the FMH Eliptical Exhaust ---just waiting around for it....I can't wait to hear it...I grew tired of the stock exhaust. After awhile- you start modding your Ninjette to what you like and want-- I've got a BT003R 150 tire in the rear as well and a 120 up front....what a difference that makes.....

When I first got my bike over a year ago- I was very Happy- but after some time things change....and so do your preferences....

For the oil change...it depends on how you ride but I've read lots of people saying every like 1k miles, some every 2k some 3k.....some people have waayy too much time on their hands for every 1k miles......

What does the Hot Bodies sound like?

I did a lot of research before going 120/150 and to me- its the best mod I've done...I mainly ride canyons and so these wider tires can handle the twisties far better than the 110/130 set up....also- on the freeway it feels a lot better......as for flickability...it's a very tiny tiny difference--after awhile you forget about that plus it makes the bike look a lot better...to me at least.....some would argue 110/140 is the best set up.....I really like how the Bridgestone BT003s handle and they are a super sticky tire....

i need an exhaust because when i do ride the streets or freeways--no one hears me coming---it sucks when people nearly cut you off or run you over because they don't hear you....

front 120/70
rears 150/60 I believe.....

It does make the bike look slightly bigger....when we ride you'll see....I hate that skinny 130 in the rear...it looks like a ten speed tire...hehe....really...it just depends on your taste....

Instead of HIDs--Sylvanias got a nice white bulb and PIAA makes a sweet blue bulb...I've got 1 of each on my ride....although I never ride at night can't say how much they improve the lighting but they sure look nice

no wonder, i couldnt find the 150/70s
yea i think the 150 would make ours look a lil bigger for sure
130 is WAYYY to skinny
ahha
it does look like a mini bike from the back lol.

i'll take a look at your blubs next week
and see how much brighter they are compared to my stockies.
