San Jose California 250 Riders

408junglist · February 13th, 2013, 03:38 PM

Hey folks, are there any South Bay Area riders in NorCal? I got my first bike two months ago, 08 Ninja 250R, and I've been riding every chance I get but would love to ride with other 250's since most of my friends have 600's and 1000's. I hope to meet some of you soon!

250s can be just as fast as 600s/1000s! In fact my 250 is faster than my 1000!

408junglist · February 13th, 2013, 04:15 PM

I agree, however, I'm still a new riders and I'm just starting to get comfortable in the turns. When my friend rode my 250, others on 600's and 1000's couldn't keep up in the turns

Jiggles · February 13th, 2013, 04:23 PM

Thats the way to do it.

If you want to meet some new people come on this group ride

He does one every other week or so. Really easy relaxed pace

Check out the member map in my sig, there are a bunch of local members. (and a bunch of them that aren't on the map as well).

rojoracing53 · February 13th, 2013, 06:41 PM

Jiggles, Myself, and probably @CycleCam303 will be out there for the ride so that's three 250 to start.

tfkrocks · February 13th, 2013, 06:55 PM

Welcome! I think I will be going on that ride too, but with a 300.

408junglist · February 13th, 2013, 07:07 PM

Jiggles, thank you for that link!!! I'm in for sure! Can't wait! Alex thank you as well. I added myself to that map!

Jiggles · February 13th, 2013, 07:08 PM

ninjettes are gna take over the barf ride!

rojoracing53 · February 13th, 2013, 07:11 PM

This should be fun, It been awhile since we had a noob to **** around with oh oops and mean instruct

CycleCam303 · February 13th, 2013, 07:33 PM

Go team circus bike? This will be the perfect opportunity to test out my new Ogio backpack.

CycleCam303 · February 13th, 2013, 07:35 PM

By the way 408 cool looking bike. I hate blue but your bike looks really good.

Jiggles · February 13th, 2013, 10:13 PM

So I can't make it this weekend

. Apparently I'm getting kidnapped and since I don't have the 1k I can't do the kidnapping

Dude just throw her on the back of the 250, just think of how fast you'll go on the down hills

408junglist · February 13th, 2013, 10:58 PM

Cyclecam303 thanks. I wasn't feeling the blue either but it grew on me

But there's only one peg

tfkrocks · February 13th, 2013, 11:14 PM

Then it can be a leg workout!

Jiggles · February 14th, 2013, 12:55 AM

She has no core strength and thus fails miserable at the p90x workouts. Maybe I can cut her leg off....

rojoracing53 · February 14th, 2013, 05:19 AM

only one peg because of the exhaust or only one peg because you only have one

I have extras

Jiggles · February 14th, 2013, 11:02 AM

Because of the exhaust

Hi Jerry,

Nice to have met you on the BARF Group ride. I was on the other blue new gen 250r. I hope you had fun and was a great experience for you. I am sure we'll run into each other again. Mean while, have fun, ride safe, and ALWAYS ride within your own limits.

BTW, if you're looking for a mentor to give you tips of how you can improve your street riding skills, look up Gixxergirl1000 on Barf, and or attend Doc Wongs riding clinic.

Other ways are going to the track. There are many track promoters with excellent instructors.

CycleCam303 · February 18th, 2013, 12:22 PM

It was nice seeing you all Saturday. @408junglist, was the guy fresh from the MSF with you? Take the above advice. gixxergirl1000 has a bunch of newbie clinics and group rides. Docwong has one next weekend I think. Don't forget to pm or just ask us here on ninjette site to go for a ride. I'd even be down to go out and work on basic skills. You know, braking, steering, and looking far enough ahead, in a parking lot, then hitting the streets. The problem with some of the rides is that people get caught up with line theory and body positioning. That's very secondary information for new riders. Hope to see you all out there soon

408junglist · February 25th, 2013, 09:30 AM

Thanks guys! Cyclecam, yes he was with me. I will lookup gixxergirl1000. Thanks for the info guys!
