6/1 North Carolina Mountain Ride

Bought a 99 Ninja 250 with 2100 miles for my wife during May. Been working on it and finally got tags on it yesterday. Have to check the bike out to be sure everything is "OK" for when my wife rides it.

The Ninja is a "Sweet" twisty machine. I weigh in at 220lbs and had a "Blast" riding the Ninja on twistys & sweepers today for my first solo "Ninja" mountain ride.

Left Denver NC this morning when it was still cool and rode Old Route 18, Route 181, up to the cooler air, Blue Ridge Parkway, Route 226A, and Golden Valley Road.

Really like the comfort of the Ninja, too!!!

Looks like a great ride and a sweet bike! I can't wait to make it up to the Blueridge this summer. Now all I have to do is convince my work to give me a day off once in a while!

Old Route 18 is just south of Morganton NC. It's in the lower elevations and a really fun ride!

Thanks!

With it being so hot this week, it's the place to be.

Hope to be riding in the BRP area tomorrow!

Thanks!
