Will i get bored on a 250? (w/ pics)

#1 Unread post by BigChickenStrips »

i'm a big guy, 6'2 240lbs, and do i LOOK like im bored?

Image
giving the photographer a little thumbs up

Image
more thumbs up on another run

Image
this turn is not quite hair-pin but not really a sweeper either, lots of fun though (easy to throw 300lbs one way then the other)

Image
this pic makes me look fast (i think)

Image
little lean

Image
ignore the fact that my head is in the oncoming lane and this is a pretty cool picture!


So to anyone who thinks they'll be "bored" on a 250. you just need to find some better roads. if your bored its becasue you suck at riding (i do) not because the bike is holding you back.

These were taken at Deals Gap (www.dealsgap.com) and photo credit goes to Killboy (www.killboy.com)

im only wearing abrasive resistant padded pants now, but as soon as i get some leathers and pucks i'll have some knee dragging pics for you guys and girls.

keep the shiny side up. -Ryan

Verm- study that last pic. thats how you take a curve on a road. notice how my whole "O Ring" is on the seat, and the bike is leaned over.

You know, I've never actually seen what I look like on my Ninja 250... never have a good sense of scale when I'm riding. Now that I've seen someone bigger on it look perfectly fine (I'm 5'8", 145lbs), no more worries about the clown-bike effect :D I know, I know... 'there's no depth to my shallowness,' but admit it, nobody wants to look bad on their bike.

Great pics man, love that chrome exhaust... stock black is nice, but shiny is cool.

Nice pics !! On the last one ( the one you referred vx to for study) it looks like you are, or are almost dragging a peg. Have'nt quite got my 250 leaned over as far as you yet. Lol, I'll blame it on Baltimore not having any really good twisties :laughing: . Looking good though man, with a lot more practice I'll be leaning my 250 just like you :thumbsup:

Nice Pics man, I recently got a new job, so I haven't had nearly enough time to ride, and I'm insanely jealous! It's great to see someone having so much fun :motorcycle:

yea, scraping peg on a 250 isnt too hard. when i get home i'll post a pic of the 1/8 inch of kick stand i ground off in a turn. (hard parts)

i sometimes lust after a bigger bike but to say im "bored" of the 250 would be a lie.

more pics to come...

Oh my god I'm bored and have no Photoshop talent whatsoever.

If you can't see any differences, I'll spill the beans - I moved him over to the right so his head isn't in the other lane.
