Philly girl new to bikes

BlueDragon · August 26th, 2014, 10:04 AM

Hey, I'm Ashley and I finally got my 2010 Ninja 250R about a month ago and I am enjoying everyday with it. Unfortunately, being in the city, I can't enjoy nice rides with long open roads, but if anyone knows where I could go to have a peaceful ride that would be great. I'd appreciate advice for a city rider. Thanks

Welcome Ashley!

Ashley

@NevadaWolf @LittleRedNinjette and I had a fun ride on the Delaware dragon. It is around Chadds Ford

LittleRedNinjette · August 26th, 2014, 10:48 AM

I ride up the river between Yardley and New Hope all the time. You are always welcome.

@allanoue tripple post Tuesday?

Welcome

Yeah that ride we did was really nice and scenic, though wet roads made this desert rat wonder if my tires would hold. Y'all need to fix that leaky cloud.

BlueDragon · August 26th, 2014, 11:10 AM

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!!!

LittleRed, I've never been to Yardley before but I'll look into that for the future, thanks

Currently I live in University City as a student, so I hope I have time to fully enjoy my new baby

allanoue · August 26th, 2014, 11:36 AM

Quaker!
How far to graduation?

snot · August 26th, 2014, 11:40 AM

LittleRedNinjette · August 26th, 2014, 11:40 AM

Nice! Not far from Revzilla then too!

Not a Quaker, but a Drexel Dragon. Thought it would be a fitting name for my bike too

I'm about to start my second year so I still have a ways to go

Yup! That's where I bought all my gear, everyone is so friendly and helpful there.

LittleRedNinjette · August 26th, 2014, 12:15 PM

Did they guy that may remind you of Einstein help you with the helmets? He's great!

BlueDragon · August 26th, 2014, 12:44 PM

No, another guy did, but I know exactly who you are talking about

Hello and welcome.

Sirref · August 26th, 2014, 10:57 PM

hello and welcome, philly isn't ridiculously far from me though I tend to go west when I ride in PA

I think you'll find that the bike will make you want to go out and explore some back roads down the line, if you're ever planning to ride a good bit west of philly then I know a few good roads and though I'm a bit of a hotshot on my own I can ride at a reasonable group friendly pace

Hero Danny · August 27th, 2014, 11:08 AM

Welcome Ashley!

Too bad you guys don't ride further up north.

LittleRedNinjette · August 27th, 2014, 11:25 AM

Yea... Your like 5ish hours away.

To bad you don't ride further south.

If you have a spare day, there's much to enjoy in PA. Even on the turnpike, anywhere west of King of Prussia is pretty much twisty highway with fair traffic.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to ride in that area once I feel more comfortable ridding, but I'm also looking to find a place with a lot of trees and a nice peaceful view.

about half an hour to an hours ride before the ride starts then get horribly lost riding back roads, PA is filled with fun/scenic back roads

LittleRedNinjette · August 27th, 2014, 02:51 PM

I'd love to tag along one of these days.

EternalNewb · August 27th, 2014, 06:10 PM
