Hi there! New DC Metro area rider!

Hey Everyone!

Excited new owner of an Black '08 Ninja 250R! (since 9/10/11)

I took the MSF course this weekend... it wasn't exactly pretty, but I passed! I've been dying to get to the DMV since we got the bike home, but we finally made it today and I was able to take my 1st ride on my Ninja. So easy to handle! I'm so happy that I read so much about what type of bike to start on, and that I took the advice to start small. I'm excited to be able to get some practice and real world experience in. My husband has an '08 CBR600RR (prior, a '05 GXS-R 600) and has been riding for about 5 years. I guess I got tired of riding two-up!

I can't believe I'm a biker chick now! LMAO. Who would have thunk it! I still haven't told my dad yet...

Pleased to meet everyone here!!!

Thanks Jamesio! I haven't ventured out of my parking lot yet, LOL, but I already spied at least one Ninja! I'm thrilled to join the club.

I saw in your intro thread that you were asking about local twisties


This might help...

LOL RockNRoll... the husband told my dad last night. He took it well. Pensive, but well. He's a doctor. Doctors don't like bikers.

DUDE! I know exactly what you are talking about! Currently my hands are all torn up, i had calluses and fresh skin rip off from working out and pull ups and when she saw she was like "OMG JAMES!!" I was just like, what? I'm pretty used to having torn up hands but she wouldn't have it. So much so that just the other night after we had dinner she was like, "ok i'm goin to walmart and i dont care if you stay or go but i'm going to get you some neosporin and band-aids"

I went with her and when we got back she started doctoring up my hands Then later that night she was like "oh don't let me forget to give you a back massage before bed, it's the least i can do for you riding your bike all the way up here" (shes in fredericksburg like an hour and 15 mins away) I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat this one is a keeper. this is all after she made me pork tenderloin, cheesy bread and vegetables for dinner

dont have any pics yet of us but not sure i would post them for yall to stare at

oh and sorry for hi-jacking this thread!

Sure did You should have heard her when I told her I was in a motorcycle accident Bike is pretty beat up, seems to be only cosmetic tho. And my left foot might be broken somewhere but am still unsure. I had all gear on tho. The handroids really did a great job.

I also have the handroids and it's awesome! Its lil cousin the teknic with the knox sliders saved my hands before, I'm very blessed I got them, cause I can't imagine what the damage is gonna be if I didn't.

Ride safe bro and let me know when you're gonna set up your Gride.

Hi Lexis/Reid!

If you're still in the DC metro area, my wife and I just joined Ninjette and are looking for some more riders to get to know in the area. If you're up for it we know the weather is starting to look better and we'd love to meet up with some other riders! Feel free to shoot me a message at any point!
