Great pics bro...that little Ninja looks kick ass ! Back in the 80's I was looking at the Ninja 250 for my first bike.....they've really come a long ways !
Be easy on her ....keep it fun and you'll be riding together for years to come !

Good job!!

I'm with you on the covering... always cover clutch, never cover brake. Even though you don't want to hear about gear (ok, so I won't preach...) but, if she is going to be riding AGATT, you might want her to get used to the feel of it on. It's a different feel, that's all

Its good to see Im not the only reformed squid. Went from jeans or shorts with a tshirt and helmet and gloves to jacket helmet gloves and sturdy boots with jeans. Next comes the leather and higher end gloves and hopefully boots this summer. Now I just need to get my riding buddies on here to get them away from being squids...

I think anyone who rides with gear is a "Reformed" squid. Really I doubt but a handful of people do what we suggest.

I mean how many times do you think someone went out with no motorcycle experience and bought a Ninja250 or even a SV650(Instead of the Gixxer600/750/100). And at the same time bought some Dainese leather pants, jacket, Boots, Gloves, Arai, and then took the MSF course both beginner and advanced before hitting the streets.

Most people start out with a helmet becuase they have to and that's it. I started with nothing but a helmet. But I did have goals of eventually getting atleast a Textile jacket as soon as I could(Which I did). That took a month.

Now all I need is some riding boots which is next on my list and I'll be fully geared and possibly trackday ready.
