┻┳|・ω・)ノノ Not New but Returning!
Heyo, me and my little ninja Zero have had quite the adventure since the last time I was here.
I got him in California, where I rode for 4 years, 2 of which were bike only. I decided to move back to New Jersey to be close to family, and had to leave him behind. Luckily it was with the very friend I learned how to ride with and I was able to keep him in the family. I had no reason to keep up with the forums anymore. After living in NJ for a year I got an incredible career opportunity down here in Austin, TX, and moved again by the end of that year. Some months went by, and having nothing but a big ol' astro van and some really nice riding weather, I started to miss my boy. My van probably would not survive the 3000mi round trip to get him, and my wallet and ass probably couldn't handle a 1500mi ride back. Most shipping companies wanted more than the cost of the bike to ship him. Lo and behold! Enter uship. Basically some guys loaded him up in their very very large van, where he was kept company by a very handsome old Triumph. Total cost: $550 to ship. A small price for what I knew was a clean, running ninjette. And mine, no less! So minus the 2 year break we took, I've been riding him 6 years. I've still never ridden another bike. His wheels are still on so we're still going. So here I am! Hopefully I'll remember to return here more. (~˘▾˘)~

Awesome tale!
These are such great bikes! I've never really bonded with a bike until i got my 250. Now I find 250 "project bikes" being dumped, restore them and give them a 2nd life for someone to appreciate. |
