My introduction

FlamingYellowInsanity · August 22nd, 2008, 12:08 AM

I though that I'd say hi to everyone, all 19 of you, lol! And tell you a bit about myself. My name is Travis (alias; FlamingYellowInsanity or Aerostudent), I am 20 years old, and I have been riding scooters and MCs for a little more than a year now. My 150cc scooter used to by my daily transportation/racing project, but since I transfered to a different school that is 45 miles each way, I will need something a bit faster, but still good on gas. This is where my Ninja 250 comes in.

I know that in the long run the Ninja will not be saving me a lot of money, but I would rather pay for the fun than for just transportation (I don't really enjoy my cage as much as a cycle), and being a bit more eco-friendly never hurt anyone. I can see that this is a VERY new board, but I hope that it will grow. I agree that V-boards is a great system and I enjoy the familiarity that this settup brings.

About my Ninja: I got it just a few days ago from a private party. it is a 2004, but in excelent condition (few minor scuffs and a small crack in the left front plastics). I got it for $2500 and it had 410 miles when I picked it up, yup, not even broke in yet! I rode it harder than the recomended break-in of 4k rpm, but I had to ride 35 miles on the freeway to get it home, and certainly wasn't going to do 35mph the whole way. Plus, I have had good experience with the hard break-in on other bikes. This bike seems like it will be a hoot to drive once everything gets settled in right. The power that it makes for a 250cc is just insane!!

I now have just a hair over 500 miles and have started on the 500 mile maint. But need to order an oil filter and to learn to adjust the valves on this before I am finished (probably this weekend).

I hope this forum grows like it should. Most forums I have seen start have one or two members and about 5 posts total and then die, so this looks promising, as you already have almost 20 members, and quite a few posts. Here's to sticking aroud a while!!!

Travis, and congrats on the bike! I wouldn't stress terribly about the break-in at this point; over a couple hundred miles over 4 years and everything that needs to be broken in likely already is or never will be.

Enjoy the new scoot, and even if you got it purely for fun the beauty of the ninjette is you can tell people you got it to save the environment.

FlamingYellowInsanity · August 22nd, 2008, 01:01 AM

Thanks for the welcome! I have a question about the tranny, and a question about luggage, but I'm going to post then in the right section rather than just add on here. Thanks again!

Travis

Yes indeed it does!

Joshorilla · November 4th, 2013, 05:16 PM

I, for one, approve of this :thumb up:

Rumor has it, that FlamingYellowInsanity was last spotted being escorted into a secret test facility in the Nevada desert a few years ago after completing his degree in Nuclear Physics. Nobody can say for sure what happened that night, but a power spike knocked out the electric for many towns in the surrounding area. Some say he was killed that night in an freak accident, others say he was transported to a realm beyond that of our comprehension, where light and energy are freely transferable, free to travel as he likes throughout the cosmos, FlamingYellowInsanity exists as a ray of light exploring the outer reaches where no man could ever dream to go.

But every now and again he graces the ninjette forum in the form of pure energy! I for one salute you FlamingYellowInsanity!

JohnnyBravo · November 4th, 2013, 05:41 PM

Explanation accepted, mystery solved

Joshorilla · November 4th, 2013, 06:03 PM

Well, I found out online his other aliases, name, job, age, parents name & age, house address and just about everything else.
