this kid is gonna kill himself

darrell85 · July 14th, 2012, 07:39 PM

I posted a craigslist ad a few weeks back selling all the oem parts I took off my '01... all4 signals, rear pod and tail lenses, bar ends, reflectors and a few others. This guy calls today wanting to buy everything and said he will meet me in an hour a few blocks from my house. I pull up to meet and this "kid", can't be any older than 19, steps out of his truck with his ripped up jeans half way tucked into his cowboy boots with a cut off shirt ripped all the way down both sides and probably the biggest straw cowboy hat I've ever seen and a belt buckle the size of a dinner plate. After the deal is done he says he has only had the bike three weeks and bought it in mint condition. I ask sooooo why the need to buy all the parts? He says I wrecked it on a gravel road racing my buddies atv . The very next thing out of his mouth is do you know much about installing 2 stage nos systems? I said, on a car? He says.. no the ninja!, I figure with a glasspack and nos I can double the horses and it'll run at least 150mph. Poor bike.

He must be a disciple of the "ride it like you stole it" school of thought.

I'm hoping he goes back to ATV's ....

alex.s · July 15th, 2012, 01:52 AM

It wouldn't run 150mph with 55hp. You need like 80 or 90. should have told him go alcohol or go home

dirty nasty · July 15th, 2012, 07:50 AM

Wow, a Ninja 250 chassis at 150mph? It's already fast enough in stock form. That kid has a death wish, no brains, or testicles larger than all ours.

7oxSin · July 15th, 2012, 03:44 PM

im from TN, i am not surprised at all in this hillbilly's riding intentions. theres a guy i work with that is the same way.

You need more than hp to increase top speed. On stock gearing you'd have to rev to like 20k.

EDIT
just to make sure as i read this over it doesnt sound too good. im only talking about hicks, im not going all Full Metal Jacket on TX.

this is the first time I have ever sold anything on craigslis. It was pure luck that it sold because I have never seen another 250 around. I agree, 12 months tops and the bike and him will be totaled.

I'm from northeast mo. Little farm town with 2500 people. But most people around here who act and dress like this have never spent a day on the farm. Easy to spot them, they try way too hard to be a hillbilly.

In Alberta, do not go into a small town bar by yourself if your passing through. If you do, do not try to pick up any of the women. Thats just asking for a world of hurt as fighting can be the main activity/fun for the locals, we have a lot of rednecks mostly working in the patch.

What color/condition are the fairings? I'd like to snag a Candy Plasma Blue right lower, but only if it's mint.
