Hay all,

Found the site looking for forums based on the Ninja 250. Just purchased my 2012 Red + Black Ninja EX250!!! So happy. I'll post some photos and a bit more when I get home from work today.

Thanks for all the great information and support in riding!

Ride often & Stay safe

Saratoga Springs.....got a buddy in Ballston Spa....close enough, right?
Hey...I'm regularly up the catskills...just a few clicks down the road from you.
If you want to use the bike on some incredible roads, join me.
Circle Ashokan reservoir, blast around on route 30, google earth Oliverea rd, Beaverkill, Peekamoose rd, Rt 28A.

definately!!!! I've been looking for some people to ride with, still learning all the ins and outs of the 2 wheel way ... but always willing to go for a ride!

Well...Saugerties is about 80mi south of you on 87. I havent started a ride in saugerties but I could figure soemthing out.It's about 140 miles up for me but that's no prob.
If next saturday the weather is good maybe we'd meet up. Now...I usually like to ride most of the day so...if we were to meet in saug at maybe 10:30 - 11:00 would you be OK riding till maybe 4 or 5. Like...Id get you back to 87 by 4 or 5. Catskills are the best roads i've seen in NY. Still,,,it's up to you, If you think you're OK riding for, what, maybe 8-9 hours....let's go. The bike is broken in, right ? You have at least 1000 miles on it, right> We wont be going too fast but I'm not looking to damage the machine.

No, I'm sitting at a massive 87 miles on the bike. I'll get back to you with a pm when I'm close to the final break in point.
