My track journey...

flipstyledsm22 · 04-05-2021, 08:25 PM

I finally took the dive and picked up a track bike from Rod last week. It's a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250. Super light!!! I also signed up for my 1st track day a few months ago... So hopefully I will see some of y'all on the circuit soon

Introducing Jennifer (The bike had a breast cancer support sticker on it with the name Jennifer, so I thought it was fitting to name the bike so

)

That looks like a really nice bike.

Badass! Can't wait to ride with you on track!

Congrats...hope to see you at the track soon.
Jennifer was awesome! Cancer sux and glad you are keeping her memory alive.

Oh , that was HER bike?

RIP..... :(

Well done bruh!
I forgot to tell you that Dirk has a nice set of tire warmers "pit posy" for $150.
Get it if you can... I also told him to hold a nice set of takeoffs for you

No only the sticker... the bike was Mark Shin's championship winning bike.

Oh, nice!

I didn't know the story behind the sticker... I feel bad because I removed all the stickers from the bike, but I still hold solid on naming the bike Jennifer. Now I know the back story on the sticker and just that little bit of knowledge will keep her spirt alive. I might even try to score some spare wheels and get them powder coated white, because they look nice and fresh. Thanks for the welcoming guys! Super excited to be doing this and having something to work on, both mechanically, physically, and mentally.
