New Member here...

Hi All.
I finally got through the question in the regresty thing... took me 2 days
to figure out then it hit me Oh they mean Valentino Rossie ... so I tried that
.....
I'm a Retired Motorcycle mechanic and jack of all trades and master of none
I admit I am not the best mechanic you'll run accross but I do know engines
better than I know my own body ! I was raised on a ranch where I had to learn How to keep everything running....that was my Job but times have changed
and getting by, is frowned upon in the mechanical world.
I've Had my own Motorcycle shop in my time and have been involved in motorcycles all my life, they are my first love, their the best motive of transportation ever devised by man....
My small shop consists of a Logan lathe Small Mill, tiny Drill press,AC 220 Amp stick welder and a 4" vice.... Old tools that went through the Ranch fire a few years back and some wood working tools as well....
.....
well, that's all I got... Bob........

Welcome Bob, the old-school tools and mindset work well with the little ninjettes. I see you have one of the new ones... they're cool too

Hi Bob! Welcome to the board.

It's probably a good idea to change your location to something a little more general. The lavender roof is cool though.

LOL yah Location , Check !

not that I am worried but it would be a good idea to make my location a bit more general not right to my door.... thank you.
...
yep my 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250R just got a winker relay that came in the mail
.... for the LED turn signals.... I'm just hoping that I don't have to add the 2 diodes to get it to blink properly... but I expect I will.
thanks for the warm welcome guys
Now I just gott'a get that hard to work on bike back on the road
.... is it me or is everyone's hands too big to fit anywhere around the carburetors ? they must higher Dwarfs to work on these things !
.... it's so hard to work on with all that plastic in the way that just taking off the tank is an act of congress !
LOL.... but it sure looks cool...
Bob.....

Question: What was the purpose of quoting what I said if your not going to comment along with that ? Makes no sense !
are you just TRYing to stir up trouble ? or did you not finish ????
Strange .....
Edit: oh I see You thought that putting a plug in for your business was the right thing to do there eh ?
I hate to be the one to break it to you buddy but that is not what this site is all about, it's about your experiences with the 250 Ninja.... NOT promoting your business Donpchange ! I for one would not use that site you linked to because of your underhanded tactics ! and I hope no one else would either !

Bob.......

It's just spam. I accidentally hit the thumbs up button too, and you can't take them back on this board.

You can hit the little red and white triangle button in the lower left of a post to report it to a moderator, but in this case that's already been done.

Welcome Bob.
Was searching for one of your threads, one which had a great answer on back and arm positions for comfort.
Took me a while using the search functions, then remembered it was an answer to one of your threads "Crotch Rocket".
