I just got my bike, its a 2012 Ninja 250r. I live in Glynn County GA and 28 years old. Once in my possession the mods started flowing in haha. I have hit a wall with it. Recovering still. Only cracked the fairing on the bike, took out a turn signal and scratched bar end and brake lever. I however broke two toes with missing nails on both, road rash, and 8 staples in my leg. But my mods to the bike are LED lights behind gauges, cut that tail off, the bike has votex lowering links but I just ordered factory ones because i'm 6' tall, snorkel removed, semi-flush turn signals, and today i'm going to shim the carb needles. Future mods are GP Carbon slip-on, jetkit, bar ends, sliders, and spools for the rear stand.

Tons of mods to the bike none to the rider. Get over to Roebling Road and get some schooling.

Yeah they are pretty much done but I guess they are starting to work on the exit ramps. It was the hwy 99 exit ramp heading south on 95. I don't know when they started cause I usually use exit 38 but my buddy's house is closer to hwy 99 exit. My turn signal is still somewhere on the exit ramp though haha.

They are bad about cops being in darien and camden county. Definitely don't mess around in that area.

JohnnyBravo · June 28th, 2013, 09:15 AM

Yep lived on fort Stewart and rode all over, Jacksonville, st Mary, etc. it's kinda crazy they been " working " on 95 near Darien since 2010 and usually when I ride through they may have one or two people out there actually working

hahaha yeah it took years and years for them to finish brunswick to darien making it 3 lanes.

JohnnyBravo · June 28th, 2013, 09:23 AM

Not that surprised... Usually amazed, disappointed, and wanting that job!

Yeah I don't really know why it took so long to do. Heck they built the Sydney Lanier bridge faster than redoing 95.

JohnnyBravo · June 29th, 2013, 02:30 PM

Maybe they thought they would be out of a job if they finished

Hahaha yea. If they wanted to actually do work then the county should pay to have Altama repaved because my car bottoms out everywhere and the bike feels like a bounce house

Welcome to our site, Michael !!!

Hope you heal soon.

The 30 HP of these machines can kill you; hence, treat yours with all the respect it deserves.

If you have not done so yet, take the MSF basic course as soon as you can ride again.

Snake · June 30th, 2013, 08:25 AM

Hello and welcome.

Yup! First forum I've ever joined. I just recently made a trip up to lawrenceville and athens a few weekends ago. Not on the bike but in my car. Had to pick someone up.
