South Jersey NOOB with a ZX6e
Hey all! I bought my bike back in september andI'm hooked! Its not too bad, its got some scratches here and there, but i only paid $1k for it! 
Im a bit new to bikes, but Ive learned alil bit aboutthem in these past few months.I changed the spark plugs and adjusted the tension on my chain,took the front wheel off to take it to a shop and have a tire put on and of course put the wheel back on as well. I grabbed a Hindle slip on from what was left of my buddy's 2002' R6 when i got my ninja, (his friend wrecked it a few years back) and it actually fit the bike, i was pretty psyched about that. My bike had a D&D slip on, it was kind of obnoxiously loud at all times. The Hindle seems more refined at cruise, and its quite loud @ WOT. (god i love that sound!) in the midst of getting to my sparkplugs, i found a K&N filter in there too.I ordered a clutch cable about 4 days ago, waiting for that to get here. I also adjusted my shift linkage to better suit me. well i look forward to asking many ?'s and learning more about this machine of mine.

Welcome to the KF family. Great choice on a first bike. My advice to take the MSF course. Especially as a new rider. It will teach you to ride properly and break the bad habits you've already developed. Oh yeah, and I'm with you on the Boondock Saints... BAMF movie.

Welcome Ron, when you get bored riding on the streets, look into the KLX 250S Dual Sport. Hehehehehehe just messing, congrats on the bike, stay safe man.

You'll really like this forum, It's a great place to hang out. The only problem is we can't seem to get rid of this damned Mole infestation problem. [8D]
