Default Hello from Ohio

Hi.... My name's Ashlee....and I'm addicted to two wheels =)

Currently, I have an '07 Kawasaki Ninja 250, but test rode an '08 CBR on Monday and basically fell in love (more so than I did when I test rode an '09 Ninja 650). I don't think I'm a Kawi girl... Might be going to look at an '06 F4I this weekend, fingers crossed.

A bit of riding history, bought the Kaw back in January of 2008, by March I was ready to rock and roll after passing the Rider's Edge Safety Course. Between then and now I've racked up 13,000 miles on the bike. For being in NW Ohio, and only have a few good riding months per year, I'd say that's pretty decent? She's been down a few times though, the worst was when I went to turn into a gravel driveway and went down at about 5mph. (Also, fell in gravel on my bicycle at a young age, so I am NOT a fan of it.)

And I think that's about it? I'm sure once I get a CBR I'll be on here all the time, trying to figure out how to work on it, and seeing what mods are possible and whatnot.

New exhaust put on last year. Other than that it's your average 250. Doesn't make her sound mean but it's a lot better than the weed whacker sound from the original dual exhaust.

Oh and I also did away with the rear turn signal (the "antennas" as I like to call them) and ran them to the two empty slots on either side of the brake light.
