Hi all my wife who will be registering on here shortly just bought her first bike an 09 250r but being the guy who's there to do maintenance and mods i figure i might as well have an account too

Firstly want to say love these forums very informative and not a lot of useless posts everything a forum should be

Secondly loving this little ninja I haven't ridden in over 15 yrs and was able to jump right onto this bike and go like i had just ridden yesterday it is a very forgiving and new user friendly bike with some power that i hadn't expected, so much so that I am considering buying one for myself as well makes sense to have 2 of the same bike to me vs 2 different bikes for me to learn to fix and buy parts for. I am a bigger guy though 6ft 275 lbs so if I do decide to get one some shocks and a few go fast parts will be in order not sure if there is a recommended sprocket change for heavier riders but will post that in the tech area

anyways here are some pics of the wife and the bike now keep in mind ( I will get slapped for this) this woman never smiles so this was definitely a happy day for her

I think I may have seen her a few days ago...would she have been out riding with another blue 250? I'm sure I saw 2 250's on Edgehill stopped at Cedar Point Drive.

She wishes lol no she just received it on wed and won't have the plates on it till today actually, but keep an eye peeled for her and be sure to say hi, if she's parked u can tell her bike as it has the pink skull tank guard

She doesn't know anyone else who rides yet so till i get my bike or she makes some new friends she will be riding solo

Glad to see theres other Barrie riders on here st. onge must be having a great yr for 250 sales

they didn't sell one to me cause they wouldn't budge on the price. I went to Edge Performance in Bradford and got a better deal.

Anyway, there's a Wed nite ride with some people from another forum if she's feeling adventurous. pm me for details, and I'll link you to the thread

Aloha and welcome, Matt.

Has she attended some sort of MSF course yet? That might be a good thing for a new rider (or an experienced one, for that matter) if she hasn't done so. Need to keep her safe, you know.
