Hello from North Georgia!!

im_a_ninja · August 3rd, 2009, 12:22 AM

Hey everybody...

I bought my first new bike the other day....2009 solid black. SO beautiful.

I'm 27 and I live in Northeast Georgia.
It's beautiful this time of year but of course it's rained every day since I bought the bike.

It has a whopping 4 miles on it now! lol

My boyfriend also bought the same bike (he has never ridden before) but his is blue. We've had lots of fun zipping around the yard and up the street.

Anyone else from GA here?

I'm getting used to this site...so I hope I'm doing this right.

Those were some quick replies! Alex...I really wanted the red. We joke that red goes faster and black looks thinner than the others. haha

I love mine so far other than having an issue going back into first after downshifting. From what I read, it's a problem. Not sure of the solution but I have to figure it out before it kills me. : )

Welcome Shannon
I was up in north Georgia last weekend. When to Tallulah Gorge State Park.

By the way I am east of Atl.

stingray · August 3rd, 2009, 07:33 AM

welcome to the club! my wife and i live in athens, and we really enjoy exploring all the great country and mountain roads that north georgia has to offer.

im_a_ninja · August 3rd, 2009, 08:26 AM

Hey GA people!

I am actually about 5 minutes from Tallulah Gorge......how cool is that????
Where 'east of atlanta' are you?
Athens is only about 45 minutes. I used to live in Athens years ago.
Once I get more comfortable riding around maybe we can get together for a ride...seems a shame not to take advantage of the amazing scenery with other local ninja riders!

SROL · August 3rd, 2009, 08:32 AM

And I'm the boyfriend with scratches on his new bike already ...
I don't want to talk about it

For people wondering y it wont go into first when trying to down shift, if u apply pressure on the shifter and let out a little on the clutch it will click into first, its all about finesse.....
