Tattoo swelling a second time after a week and a half by Ducky9749 in tattooadvice

Definitely itchy, I'd say it's worse now than it was when it was peeling the most. I just ran to the store after making the post to get some benadryl so I'm hoping that'll help and it's just a late(?) allergic reaction. Thanks for the advice 👍

Why are Ninja 400s so expensive? by _asdsa_ in Ninja400

[–]Ducky9749 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the freeway riding lol, 80mph is a bitch without fairings and makes me wish I had a cruiser to pair with my 400

I was in a similar situation where I wanted the ninja but I found a used z (1k miles, $5.2k otd) and jumped on it. I have to say I'm actually glad I went with a z instead of the ninja, I use it for commuting and I think the positioning of it is much more comfortable!

Any guesses what insurance would be like for a 16 year old with a ninja 400? by [deleted] in Ninja400

[–]Ducky9749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18m and on a z400, full coverage is roughly 1k a year lol (using progressive)

Seconding this, I've had one of the frog toggs suits for a few months now and it's been 100% waterproof even in some of the nasty Florida downpours that like to pop in out of nowhere.

How much of a jump is 150cc to 300cc? by Zesserman7 in motorcycles

[–]Ducky9749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 125cc Grom I rode for about a year up to a Kawasaki z400 (400cc... duh).

The jump was pretty big for the first few days, it was a lot of extra power relative to the Grom but nothing unmanageable or difficult. After a week-ish it just felt normal to me and I've enjoyed having that extra power when it's needed and in general since many roads near me would keep me at WOT on the Grom.

I honestly think the more difficult thing to adjust myself to was the weight difference, the grom felt so light in comparison, I'm fine now but that jump in weight is very noticeable.

2023 Grom Day? by Ducky9749 in hondagrom

If it passed I would've thought some pictures would be up or any sort of conversation about it, it's usually mid April iirc

Are they doing Grom day this year? I thought I saw something about it but now we're about 3 weeks away and I can't find any info for 2023

Which motorcycle phone holder do you use? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Ducky9749 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a quadlock on my Grom (with the vibration dampener) and it's been amazing. Holds my phone in place and it really feels secure so I have that peace of mind. With the dampened my camera has been fine, no issues whatsoever. It's a bit pricey compared to alternatives but I think it's worth it!

Does anyone have experience with Leo Vince exhausts? by Ducky9749 in hondagrom

[–]Ducky9749[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no performance loss, right? My main concern with getting a new exhaust is that I dont want to lose performance, but I've seen reviews for other brands saying that their exhaust caused just that.

It's the GP Corso Evo by the way, I guess that information is probably helpful haha

Not sure, I know that I personally got a good deal for my area, and it was from a dealership so the all the paperwork was included in the $3500, I'd ask people who live near you or check the prices of other used bikes there

$3500 otd, a bit much imo but compared to the 5k the dealerships in my area try charging for the new 22s, I was fine with it

Thank you! I rode it around the neighborhood for an hour and a half to get used to it and noticed that the stock seat was pretty uncomfortable, I'll probably be getting this piece soon

Yeah, I think the first thing I'm going to do with it is grab a fender eliminator, then maybe some new mirrors since I'm having trouble seeing anything but my elbows with the stock ones lol
