So the handlebars were loose... tightened them down... a-ok... noticed a fork seal's prolly blown out... no biggie...

I'll tell you what, I'm sorta diggin this little bike thing... First bike I've ever owned that I could literally pick up the ass end and move it easier than jockeying it into a small space... I mean, I *can* do it with the Tiller, but fuck that...

And Ninja 250's are fun as fuck - you'll want one yourself after riding it around for a bit.

I like the 500 better, only because you can actually keep up in traffic without having your hands buzzed off

Paint it to make them look nice, then use model paint and a toothpick to fill in the letters.

Turtle Wax Black Chrome, or Mother's Back-To-Black Trim Restorer, are way better.

Absolutely... Riding it home made me wish I never sold my 500 Ninja.

Probably what I'm going to have to do, but that's going to be a PITA and I'm sure to fuck it up.

That's part of one of my many ongoing projects... it's part of ONSSP's Halloween costume, which will be done this weekend...

Once I get this thing sorted out, we'll certainly get some parking lot action going, w/ pics.
