I wave to everybody! Why not, lifes too short to be stuck up. I pass this guy on a sport bike everyday on my way to work going the opposite direction, guess he is doing the same. Our daily waves are a ritual now. If I don’t see him for a few days I wonder where he is, I wonder if he wonders the same about me. I will have to chase him down someday and say howdy.

LOL same thing has happened to me on my 250. It must be the engine that sounds like a sewing machine on steroids.

thanks elwood, those are wise, helpful and thoughtful comments.

1. I pay $120 a year for insurance for my Ninja 250 through Progressive, I’m 45 with a clean driving record.

2. Sounds like your credit is good. Kawasaki offers pretty good deals on financing at the dealerships. I got a $15,000 line of credit from them fixed at 7% for 3 years. I bought a brand new 2006 Ninja 250 from a dealer last summer for $2800, financed through Kawasaki. Even though I financed the $3k I didn’t have to put full insurance coverage on the bike. Also you can use that credit for bike service at your dealership (mine takes my Kawasaki card at least).

3. Gas milage 50+ easy.

It’s a fun little bike.

2006 Kawasaki Ninja…I love her.

[Jim]

Ahhhh man Budd that sucks. I am glad you walked away relatively unhurt. I’m sad your Ninja has seen the end of its day.

I take my son (he’s 10) to school on my bike when the weather is nice. It is a straight shot on back roads of about a mile, with no other cars. I know he feels like a badass when he gets to school in front of his friends and pops of his helmet. LOL

[Jim]

Yup, it is cool that most of us give the wave to each other. Welcome to the club!

[Jim]

Can’t imagine riding a bike in Manhattan traffic dude. Hey did you say you lived in Phillipines or Thailand?

[Jim]

Thinning the herd or something to that effect.

You got lots of time, wait until you are 18 or 19 and out on your own, not that far away.

[Jim]

My commute is about 5 miles…so lucky there but I have to go home at lunch time everyday to take my pup out, so I do it 4 time a day. Been keeping up the riding even though it is in the 30’s here in the morning. Thank god for overpants!!

[Jim]

Hey welcome, I grew up in Boca Raton, right near you, but moved away 15 years ago or so. You got a sweet bike.
