Hello from Ottawa Ontario

SSR · March 11th, 2011, 04:13 PM

Hey all.

I've been lurking around this forum for a while, finally decided to register!

I drive a blue '09 Ninja and despite everybody telling me I'd be bored of it in the first two months and I'd be wanting to upgrade to a bigger bike...strangly, I haven't. Still love the little Ninja that could. That, and I always get the last laugh when insurance talk starts up.

I hail from Ottawa, Ontario.

SSR! Glad to have you aboard...

Aloha and welcome, Jonathan.

Find new friends and keep on riding

...or, if you do keep those friends (not advised), pass them in the corners and then ask them what took them so long when they catch back up.

Welcome!... from Ottawa Aswell!

SSR · March 11th, 2011, 08:27 PM

Thanks guys.

08ninja250, from my time lurking on these forums I know there's a few other people on this board around this area. Ever plan any group rides?

I know 3... but my bike is strictly track for this summer and Ben got rear-ended so he got a 600 and I dont know the other one very well... you could join my facebook group 'ninja 250 club of ottawa' and maybe meet some people and organize some group rides!

slolane · March 12th, 2011, 09:33 AM

Welcome!!

Yup... insurance, mpg's and miles and miles of smiles.

First Sunday of March. I only lasted about 10 minutes, it was -4C out. Once I got up to 80kph it was just too cold. Then it sat in the garage till next Sunday, when it was warmer, but still cold at speed.

I've been riding it regularly since last week.
