I love it! Had always wanted one and got the go-ahead from my husband who had known of my motorcycle obsession for years. I don't do the casual weekend rides: I go to work, the library, grocery store, drop off my daughter at school, etc. on my Ninja. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and am not riding (because of the weather, not my gestational period) and can't wait until I heal up enough to get back on!

I thought I wrote it! haha! except the hot ducati guy with foreign accent! I did exactly what you did; took safety course, and add 'M' on my license recently, and bought red ninja 250 R, 2010, used, with low mileage on, found on the craiglist! and with help of my friends, I am warming it up! Took first road trip this Sat, and still struggling with cornering (I guess still need to build the trust between me and my bike 'Nina'). I am glad to see your post, and it definitely motivating me!

You sure have that dressing down. I almost didn't recognize you but enjoyed listiening in on the conversation. Hi Renee, just finished watching you on Fox News Live with Jonathan Hunt.

It was my 40th birthday present from my husband. I took my MSF course and got my license soon after. Then I was a woman on a mission...lol. I began riding a lot, every chance that I got, just to get experience and become comfortable with my bike, the road, traffic...everything. I recently upgraded to a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 600 and I LOVE IT! I do not regret starting out on a 250 because I think it definitely helped to build my comfort level and get me to where I am now. I ride side by side with my husband often (he rides a GSX-R750 and a Hayabusa) and we have so much fun doing that together. I also joined a group of ladies who all ride sport bikes and it so such an amazing feeling to share the love of riding with so many beautiful women that aren't afraid to stand up for what they love and who refuse to be just another passenger. The female riding world is growing rapidly (especially with sport bikes) and it is definitely a beautiful thing! =) I started riding in early March (about 3 months ago) on a 2007 Ninja 250.
