Hello, I just picked up an '08 ninja ex250 today. First bike! The styling is SO much better than the previous models. Should be a great bike to learn on. I'm a total rookie. Only experience is MSF class. I put 40 miles on her today without leaving covina. I love how every biker I pass waves a hand. I'm excited and eager to meet you all on the road.

There's a ride at Azusa/GMR tomorrow, look in the group events area to find the info.

I went GMR/Azusa today. I'm sure I passed some of you going the other way. When riders pat their helmets what does that mean? Heads up, Hazard coming?
