not to jack your thread or anything, so first, congrats on the new toy. you'll enjoy it. i sat on one of those that belonged to someone in the club - darc's wife's before they sold it, but it was too long for me. but i could flat foot so that was a plus, lol. it's tough being fun size sometimes.

any ways, me next, me next! car is paid off in: (countdown) 5 months! :D then every paycheck will go towards a 250 of some sort since the only $2 whore left is awaiting repair 'cuz the other one is in cali. after a year or so with it, if my bf doesn't either first buy it for me (i'm dreaming) though he's talked about having one around, or buy it from me to keep it and giving me the $ to get the one i want, cuz I WILL BUY MY BIKE, i'll get my girl - a black gladius.

so enjoy your fun and stay cool.

boys, boys, boys. first, the only thing i've had experience on, we're NOT talking PEOPLE, is a 4-wheeler. but that was when i was younger. i have never ridden a dirt bike or motorcycle. dad's the country boy, and mom's the city titty so sadly mom was in charge of what her little girl did - activities wise, as in stay out of the dirt except when it comes to horses and girl scouts - so i have to start with the baby bike.

and that's a nice pic SK. a lot smaller than the one i sat on. i kinda like it. but u got it first so i won't go stealin' ur idea. but i may have to borrow her sometime :cool:

My first bike was an '06 Katana 750 (pretty much the exact same bike with a slightly bigger motor). If you have any questions or need any help, let me know. I have some spare front blinker lens covers in a box in the garage if you ever need them.

Actually she does need them... That is one of the small fixes the left blinker lense is broke. Also it would seem the battery had a dead cell and it might not have any charging problem at all.

She is the one that found the dead cell problem... jumped right in and took the battery out and took it to autozone and had them check it. Just hope that is all that is wrong with it.
