i was on the h1 the second time i took out my bike. it wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. but yeah, don't rush things if you don't feel you are ready.

Thanks ... I'm thinking the H1 (around Pearl city / Waipahu) and the H2 would be the hairiest ... yeah, I think the wind (and wind blast from rigs and buses) would be bad.

ungluck · April 8th, 2011, 02:38 AM

yeah big cross winds can make ya creep halfway across a lane...you just lean a little and keep moving. and the draft off a large semi can do the same...no biggie, it happens to 600's too.

group riding is good..i typically take up the rear and we stick the less confident or experienced in the middle..group riding can be great cos you can see and apply techniques,tactics,etc and ask questions and so on.

def should come out and ride with us man!!

On Saturday morning I ran into a group of about 12 - 15 Ninjas (obviously a group ride) around the Sandy Beach area. The riders were heading Koko Head (while I was heading toward Waimanalo) on Kalanianaole Highway (around 11:30 a.m.). Was wondering if there was some kind of a planned group ride ...
Mahalo!

ungluck · April 11th, 2011, 03:04 PM

wasn't any of the 250 guys/girls...we would've waved you down or posted here...

i def know it wasn't me cos i had PRK on friday

Hey, Chris ... howzit ... and thanks for your reply. I figured it probably wasn't you guyz (you usually let everyone know in advance about group rides). Looked like they had some nice looking wahine riding ... not that I noticed or anything ... I gave my biker's wave ... but ... they didn't seem too impressed with my 2007 ninja (no return wave) ... excuse me, sistah! BTW ... what does PRK mean (you know I'm a newbie)? Mahalo and ride safe ...

ungluck · April 12th, 2011, 02:03 PM

lol, all good bruddah dave

there is alot fo 250's on the island..but i have yet, in my 4 years here, seen a group of them unless they are with me and kenji or with miss808

but..who knows!!!

there are a couple of ninja clubs on island though, 600's and up of course lol

PRK is an vision correction surgery

Hey Chris ... thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, I'm not used to seeing such a large group of Ninjas so it definitely caught my eye (... to say nothing about that pretty rider in the tank top). I don't think they were 650s ... sure looked like 250s to me ... but ... I have to confess that my eyes "sometimes, no work so good!" Thanks for the PRK explanation ... I had two eye surgeries last year. Mahalo!

Hey, Chris ... Aloha ... guess what ... I was driving my truck this morning heading to Hawaii Kai on Kalanianaole around 11:15 a.m. Anyway, I ran into a group of ninjas (about 15 - 20 of them and most looked like they were 250s ... all newer models ... I guess you guys call them post-generation). It was a larger group than last week and they were heading Ewa near Aina Haina. I took a better look at them this week (couldn't spot the pretty one) ... somehow I get the feeling that they were military riders (but I could be wrong).

Sound Wave · April 17th, 2011, 11:50 PM

it is strange that none of them are members on this forum.

ungluck · April 17th, 2011, 11:55 PM

yes..it is...me and justen(kenji808) see tons out here in Ewa/Kapolei..but we are realizing their just stationed here typically, sooo yeah..lol

man, when u gonna ride wit us?? also, i looked at yer recent pics of yer stang..fukn cherry man..you gotta some work in that thing!!

Sound Wave · April 18th, 2011, 12:03 AM

when are you guys going riding again? i got some things to do this week, but i am on vacation until next monday. let me know if you guys are going again. gotta warn you though... i ride pretty slow. also... not sure why, but my steering felt heavy yesterday.

lol. thanks. yeah, the mustang is my money pit. sad part is that i still would get my ass kicked by your car though.

getting blue valve covers installed and re-tuning my car tomorrow.

i just changed my steering wheel. some time this week gotta wire up my car's shift light... never ending.

ungluck · April 18th, 2011, 01:02 AM

no way..yer car, with it's immediate torque and easily boost jump..would be a good run, anyway, it's fukn sleeper anyway!!

so yeah...i am down anyday but wed...i got a urolugist appt for check em make sure they fire blanks and then an eye appt for my 14 day check on my PRK..so i am down prety much anytime :]

Sound Wave · April 18th, 2011, 01:08 AM

well, that is good because wednesday isn't that great for me either. which ever other day works for the others.

ungluck · April 19th, 2011, 01:45 PM

i had nothing planned for the afternoon, so i made an appointment for 1:45. then, since i am borrowing my wife's car, i gotta go pick her up at about 3:15. i think it is going to be cutting it too close if we try to go now.

this morning would have been good.

hey.... wasn't it friday you had earlier?

i guess i read it wrong and went ahead and made plans for tomorrow at 1000. friday morning or the weekend would be better. unless you want to go for an early and short ride tomorrow.

are there any interesting roads on the ewa side? i can't think of any.

where do you guys usually go?

Hey Gary ... howzit ... sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread ... but ... I just noticed that you're riding a Honda ... so what's the story (behind the story) ... I assume you owned a ninja 250 at one time ... why the switch ... just curious (you probably explained all of this somewhere / someplace / sometime / but I missed it ... sorry!)

Davis937 · April 22nd, 2011, 01:53 AM

Hey everyone ... howzit ... as you know, the last two weekends I ran into two rather large groups of ninja riders (Koko Head side) ... I'm curious to see if I spark any ninja groups this weekend (I'm thinking weekend warriors ... literally, warriors, as in military) ... maybe I'll see that pretty rider with the word "Dad" tattooed on her left arm ("born to raise hell" on the other arm)!

Sound Wave · April 22nd, 2011, 02:02 AM

the 250 was enough for me, but i tried packing my wife on it and it caused her too much pain. she has rheumatoid arthritis and had both of her knees and her left elbow replaced. i was contemplating between a cruiser or a sports tourer. decided on the sports tourer. she was much more comfortable on the honda... figures though that over time she kind of lost interest in riding with me. oh well.

... thanks ... yeah, the Honda is a pretty impressive looking bike (looks like a black monster ... and I mean that affectionately). I guess it's also quite a large bike -- over 500 pounds (... and little guy me can barely manage the 250 LOL). How do you like the bike? How does it handle? Noticeable power upgrade -- must be nice. Was wondering if you bought the bike new or used? Sorry to hear about your wife ... having to deal with a chronic condition can be challenging. Glad she's enjoying the new bike ... LOL ... yeah, makes sense that she doesn't ride much anymore. Happens every time, 'bruddah!

Sound Wave · April 23rd, 2011, 07:20 PM

don't want to get off topic, but i bought the bike new. it is a 2008. afaik, they didn't bring in the 2009s because honda america had such a huge surplus of 07s and 08s.

the removable saddle bags are great to hold my tire pump, tire repair kit, helmet and jacket, but it detracts from the style.

being a sports tourer, it has a semi-relaxed riding position, but i think my next bike i am going to go for one that is fully upright.

my bike has the ABS, so i think it weighs about 550 lbs. once you get moving, it handles quite well... not as agile as the 250, but not as bad as one would imagine. trying to walk it around is kind of hard though. especially trying to back it out of a parking stall that is on a slope. i can't quite flat foot it like i could with the ninja, which doesn't help.

there is a lot of power. being a larger displacement engine, there seems to be a much more usable power band. i have never ridden a 600 super sport, but i hear you gotta get into the upper rpms to get to the power.

overall, i am happy with my bike. since my wife doesn't ride with me anymore, i may look for another bike in a year or so. one that doesn't have to consider the passenger's comfort.

ungluck · April 23rd, 2011, 07:26 PM

in 2007 i diagnosed with SLE..so i know how she feels, very hard thing to have. I've been fortunate with it going into remission due to some lifestyle changes, and not the kin dmost would think, pretty had to drop my career,etc.

good to know she can ride again with you,etc. very cool.

woke up early, piled the dogs in the car, me and wife met some friends who happen to be our dogs best dogs friends(their dogs). great day for waimea..awesome time.

i think this is more of a "hawaii peeps" thread now anyway lol not just group rides lol

Sound Wave · April 24th, 2011, 11:21 AM

looks like a great day for a ride. going to head out in about 20 minutes. going over the pali and around sandy beach then back to town. holidays that fall on a sunday are the best for riding.

Hey Gary ... I'm looking out my window and thinking it's a great day for a ride. I'll be busy with family "stuffs" today, but there's no harm in day dreaming. Enjoy the ride, and take care of that "monster" of yours LOL ... ride safe!

just came back from my ride. i did see one group of about 6 and there was one girl on a red 250. was wearing a helmet and t-shirt. i waved at them, but they ignored me. whatevers.

it was a nice ride. had more cars than i was hoping for though.

Hmmm ... don't think that was the same group but it might have been. The groups I ran into were large -- at least 10 or 12 riders. Also, I had the distinct feeling they were in the military. So, tell me some more about the lady in red, LOL ... You married guys can only look. I, on the other hand ... I'm glad that you had a good ride! Take care ...

ungluck · April 24th, 2011, 08:28 PM

there are tons and tons fo 250's here..saw 4 today..none of them look liek they give a damn about others lol.

no worries bout my SLE, it adds to my invisibility :]

i get small flares now and again, but meh..it mostly interferes with my car building if i get reaallyy really dirty, like diesel work.

anyway, anyone wanna try plan a ride this week or weekend? we jsut did kenji's snorkel delete, valve check and shimming. his bike now runs awesome. i may pull my stock muffler apart, pack it, and such to keep it stock looking, and do a K&N, snorkel delete and needle shimming as well.

I've been fortunate with it going into remission due to some lifestyle changes, and not the kin dmost would think, pretty had to drop my career,etc. good to know she can ride again with you,etc. very cool. woke up early, piled the dogs in the car, me and wife met some friends who happen to be our dogs best dogs friends(their dogs). great day for waimea..awesome time. i think this is more of a "hawaii peeps" thread now anyway lol not just group rides lol
