Hi I'm Jamie,

Been riding for about 3 months now, at least 3 hours a day.
Riding a Black 08 Ninja 250r and its coming up to 3000kms, and I'm also saving up to get some sexy mods on it.

I believe I'm pretty good for a newbie, and i just got the hang of clutch-less shifting. I ride around A LOT, so if any other newbies want to drive around sometime just give me a buzz (i have no biker friends! :'[ )

Also thinking about getting a camera mount for some vlogging, what do you think? =p

Try to avoid clutchless shifting if you can!
Maybe you should join up with us at the Auckland Uni SMC:

We regularly meet up for a beer and have the occasional fixit day to sort out problems, less so due to the holidays.
You don't have to be a student or anything, I'm not haha.

3 months times 3 hours per day = 270 hours of riding.
3000/270 = An average of 11kph.
Sure you're riding it and not pushing? :D

Nothing wrong with clutchless shifting, I do it all the time :yes: Mind you my clutch is a bit elderly so I choose to use it sparingly :yes: Welcome to KB mate, dont forget to slow down a smell a few roses as you race through life eh.

Dude enjoy the riding -hook up with some of the gentle rides.
Advice from an old bloke -save ya mod money and spend it on ya next bike.
But if ya dont wanna do that --find out where kawasaki hid the 4 odd HP the old GPX had and your beast doesn't

Welcome to the fun house!!!!
Understatement, lol

welcome to KB, after market exhaust make the Ninja sound a lot better, but its only a 250 so it doesnt really matter too much.

Now go out and ride some more!
speaking of which "To welsford! and beyond!" [/buzz lightyear]
