Forum Newbie
Been riding since '81, racing since '91. Now by daughter's all grown up and wants to ride. So we got her a Craig's List sub $1k 2005 Ninjette hangar queen. Cosmetically it's flawless. But I don't think there's anything in the gas tank at all except rust.
Already found some truly great articles here (forum and wiki) and thought I'd join to try to document restoring my little girl's bike to road worthiness. Cheers! |

Welcome! Sounds like it'd be nice to have a dad who supports his kid in the whole motorcycle thing.

I can't very well tell her to not take on the risk I've accepted for myself - and her, and my entire family - without being a hypocrite. Of course I fear for her, but I hope I've taught her well. My eternal hope is that she ends up being a better rider than me. Not too much to wish for. After all, it's not all that lofty a goal.

Man, you are really old........  ...........don't you know that except @CC Cowboy and me, all the riders in this site are around 20 or less?As I was driving down the freeway, my cell phone rang. Answering, I heard my wife's voice urgently warning me, "Hernan, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on I-95. Please be careful!" "Hell," I said, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!" http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...&highlight=age http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...&highlight=age Post pictures of your project as soon as possible, please
