First post...intro.

[Roadfinder]

I rode a Benelli 250cc in the late 60's and stopped riding after 2 close calls on local streets. Two grade school girls and a Dad that needed to be around to see them grow up.

40 years later bought a pristine Ninja 250 to see if I would still enjoy riding (I really liked the TU250x). The 2007 Ninja with 2,300 miles at $2,000 was the best way to find out if I still enjoyed two wheel transport. I did, but the riding position put too much weight on my wrists so I traded the Ninja in on a new 2009 TU250X. I've owned a 1992 Mazda Miata for the past 10 years and it's as close to a 4 wheel bike as you can get and I will not part with the Miata.

Being retired, age 72 (the girls are now in their 40's) and still fit enough to get a leg over the seat; I'm enjoying the wind-in-the-face again. You've put together a great web-site and I've used it to properly adjust the rear brake pedal and brake switch (TU250X owner's manual is vague :?? If I have anything I can add to the forum I'll be sure to post. Thanks again for giving the TU a place to share. :2tup:
The Ninja and TU photos are stock photos, but identical to my bikes.
