Smooth running, reasonable wind protection, and anvil like reliability are to be found here.

The CBR would presumably take all these qualities and add EFI and available ABS, but then there is the new Ninja 300...

christ Drew you must have been eavesdropping...I just read up a bit on the new Ninja 300....getting good reviews

I did actually, both Saturday and Sunday... Pedaled around Coronado for about thirty miles while Geocaching, now known as Geobicycling...

The home front tells me that the m/c's that I left hooked to Battery Tenders are all charging on a regular basis... Snug in their beds as it were...

Ciao,

That's a whole heap of coolness in a small package there CJ

While we're on the subject of little bikes, let's not forget Suzuki's latest offering the GW250

For me it was my first time on two wheels since August - which means as of September my 104 month streak over

That is impressive.

Well done even if it is over.

I am staying busy doing maintenance before the new sidecar gets here(ETA 1/20). Steering head bearings, wheel bearings, check water pump, heavier weight fork oil, new front tire, replace sprockets and chain, lube swingarm, and valve check(may need help on that one). I am really slow at it but that's ok. I am just happy to be out messing around in my shop.

For you FF's that offered help with the sidecar it looks like late January early Febuary iswhen I will be calling in for reinforcements.

Have a good week.

Enjoy the therapy.

As a potential new resident/rider i have been working my way through this thread. Is it too late for the beer part?

Noble Pils, good stuff when you can get it.

NHBill · 12-12-2012, 05:11 AM

Never too late for the beer part. It's kinda like bacon

...everything's better with it
