Forgot how to ride a ninjette...

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 01:57 PM

So after doing my 2.5 week trip with close to 4,500mi on the beamer, I got back home and tried to ride the 300 and realized that I sorta forgot how to do that

Wow this thing is light and tiny, it almost feels like a toy. I think I could pick this up by myself if I needed too. Why are my knees so high? That's a weird spot for the clutch to engage. Why aren't my brakes working? I forgot I have to actually pull the brake lever instead of just think about it. Redlining already? This thing flicks over so easily it almost feels unstable. **** forgot to downshift. God why is there so much wind on the freeway. So ****ing bumpy! Man 6th gear is useless. 5th gear too... It turns so easily hehe. Shifting is fun. I like blipping. WOT, WOT, WOT, coast... Alright honda civic, prepare to get your ass kicked bahahahaha!

I missed my ninjettes

Hahah welcome back to the real world

Some of us aren't as lucky to have multiple bikes to play around on!

But we're glad to have you back with the ninjettes.. where you belong

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 02:18 PM

Some of you just haven't broken enough legs!

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 02:54 PM

I don't get beat by civics man, camrys on the other hand....

choneofakind · July 17th, 2013, 03:01 PM

dude, you better watch out for those things. Scions too prolly, they use the same engines as Camry's.

ally99 · July 17th, 2013, 05:15 PM

Hahahaha! Jiggles, that was awesomely written!

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 05:20 PM

Thanks

ninjamunky85 · July 17th, 2013, 05:22 PM

You think the ninjette handles great. Spend a few weeks riding a klx250sf. The ninjette will feel like a dump truck after getting used to a lightweight sm.

I googled it...

fck u

choneofakind · July 17th, 2013, 05:41 PM

Dude, I want an SM. But I want bicycles moar. Why can't we all get hit by camry's and win monies in court?

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 06:06 PM

Chode, come to cali and I will run over you with my sisters camry

Yay insurance fraud!

choneofakind · July 17th, 2013, 06:12 PM

Hmmm, they might be onto us from this thread.

is it sad that I've honestly debated whether I'd take a hood dive if it meant I'd get a new bike and a free year of college?

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 06:40 PM

Try 5 years of free college, two new bikes, a trailer, a 3 week cross country trip, a new suit, a buncha track days and enough left over for sizeable savings & investments.

Was it worth it? Idk man, my leg was ****ing killing me on a few days of the trip. It almost made walking unbearable.

I also work 32hrs per week though. I got a significant chunk of money back for the time that I couldn't work

choneofakind · July 20th, 2013, 01:49 PM

Oh man, that makes it sound even harder to say no.

rasta · July 21st, 2013, 01:40 PM

Hey why you talkin trash about my ninjette in your list of bikes lol

ninjamunky85 · July 21st, 2013, 05:56 PM
