ROOK.

Tell us a little about yourself and say hello to the gang. We would like to hear about who, what, and why you ride as well as how you found us.

ROOK.

Post by zackdh9 » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:04 pm

Hello internet users!

I'm Zack, im 20 years old, and i'm completely new to riding. I just got an 08 Ninja 250R, and it is my only vehicle. I love it so much that I am on here looking for more excuses to ride than just back and forth from school and work. Also let me add that the 250 has been lovely, and I dont think I will need a bigger bike for some time.

PEACE

Ps. Do these group rides actually really happen?

In theory, we should be having one this weekend. Just a question of if and of the ride leaders can get fit it into their schedule. I'll start leading some after work rides in the near future, so watch for those as well.

Welcome. Your 250 isn't blue is it? Just handed a club card to a kid on a blue 250 while waiting for a light to change.

Be careful on your trip and watch out south of Waco. There is two small towns that the cops have NO slack for speed.
