tjb0012 · April 10th, 2010, 12:49 PM

Hey guys,

My name is TJ and I'm from Bellingham, Massachusetts. I just bought a new 09 green/black/white 250r. Have yet to ride her yet tho. The bike was delivered with crate damage

. Ill be taking an MSF course in about two weeks and cant wait to hit the road. If any of you ride around where I live hit me up. None of my friends have bikes so ill be that kid who rides alone for now haha.

Thanks guys

Hey how's it going. My cousin grew up in Bellingham and his family still lives there. Do you happen to know the O'Grady's?

JokerSeven · April 10th, 2010, 02:27 PM

What kinda crate damage ?
Does that translate to big discount ?

noche_caliente · April 10th, 2010, 02:45 PM

welcome TJ!

tjb0012 · April 10th, 2010, 03:27 PM

David - Cant say that I'm familiar with the last name. but then again bellingham is a pretty long town so if they live on the north end then I could see why. I'm a southie

Jeremy- Well i bought the bike from Greater Boston Motorsports. We had an agreed on a day for them to deliver the bike so i came home from college that day...they didnt deliver it. They told me i was the first stop the next day. By the time it got to my house, the side fairing was chipped and two chips out of the paint on the gas tank. Now they have to come back to my house, pick up the bike, change the fairing and the gas tank, and deliver it back to me. I gave them my two cents and I am trying to get a free Bridgeton Battlax BT-016 rear tire for free...or maybe a bike cover. hopefully they see home much trouble they have put me through.

Terrorizer · April 10th, 2010, 03:50 PM

Greetings TJ, I'm here in Boston. I hope everything works out with the new bike. I'm going to get a 08 or 09 myself next season I think. I still like my modified 95. I just got my new pirellis and cant wait to take it out tomorrow. Enjoy the MSF course, its fun but grueling. Bring food with you that you can eat quickly and ride safe.

BlueRaven · April 10th, 2010, 04:05 PM

sorry to hear about your bike.

Snake · April 10th, 2010, 04:19 PM

Hello and welcome.

CC Cowboy · April 10th, 2010, 04:21 PM

TJ ,cool name (that's my younger son's name). Forget the tire, see if you can have the chipped parts (you might need them). If you do get them, use them first and save the new parts for later on (I'll tell you why later).

You live in a great riding area. I've ridden all over there. I have a good friend in Millis, a girlfriend in Medford, and I lived in Milton, Boston, and Rhode Island. Beside the guys in the Boston area, Backstabber (or backinthesaddleagain, whatever his name is) is in RI and I'm going to hook up and ride with him next time I'm in the area.

I have some killer (hahahaha) roads to ride north of Providence all the way up to Worcester.

tjb0012 · April 10th, 2010, 05:17 PM

yah I can't wait to ride after I complete my MSF course. I'm pretty worried about dropping my bike. And I'm pretty sure they won't let me keep the chipped
fairings because they might have to send it back to Kawasaki in order to get the new one. but I'll ask anyway and maybe I'll get lucky. Now I just have to find some boys (or girls) to ride with.
