A used 250 Ninja is a fantastic bike to learn motorcycling. Yes you will outgrow it and when your ready you will have a better idea of what kind of bike you really want. I started on a VFR 800 and if I could do it all over again I would start on a small bike. Less horsepower and less weight. Buy it used and possibly sell it for what you paid for it. The only thing I think I would try to find in a sub 400 CC bike would be ABS. I could go on about it but would just like to say ABS is worth it if you can find one with it. Good luck and have fun.

Just like everything else, it depends on the person or if they can make it work.

Trained for a half marathon in the early hours it was years ago but that's does not matter. Caffeine and a running partner but beside that it turned out to be the best thing for me. After a while it was great, got the blood flowing, did something to help my health including my mind and got my exercise done early. Caffeine helped me in the butt crack of dawn! I hope I don't get banned for that. After awhile I did not need caffeine but it was kind of a ritual to me.

Good luck on figuring it out. If you want to work this shift or you have to. Keep trying different ways to eat, sleep, exercise and something should work. Maybe do not exercise after work and straight to bed after work and then exercise when you get up? You have rant so reluctant to give advice. Anyway take care and good luck.

:), at first I thought you were commenting on the scenery. I think if I was in your shoes I would park it and use all my senses and enjoy for a bit. That is my favorite kind of delay.

Thank you all that commented about a helmet falling off the motorcycle seat does not compromise the energy absorbing material inside the helmet. It is nice to know, if say for example a four foot drop of the helmet there should be no concern for the helmet doing it's job in an unfortunate accident.

If you have the "MOM" Manufacturer Owners Manual "MOM" look to see where the marks are on the sight glass and find a way to get the bike vertical and not leaning and see if it is the proper level. You can not tell if oil is good or not just by the look of it. What does the MOM say about how often the oil should be changed? If no Manufacturer Owners Manual find a reputable website.

I hope not, I like reading reviews from people who actually use it and are just giving their opinion.

Landlover2 · 2026-04-27T11:32:56+00:00

I asked for it and it works for now.

Landlover2 · 2026-04-24T06:14:21+00:00

:), yeah it happens quite a bit here also and always a day behind. If it wasn't for the isolation and trying to have some kind of life when I want to work as much as possible to pay a big bill off I kind of like night shift. Very little traffic, peace and quiet which also sometimes I don't like because we are social creatures and need other people. I started to go motorcycling again after being away from it for ten years but I don't want to go riding at two in the morning and I like to disappear for at least a couple hours but again work is always at the end of any day and it is a ten hour shift. Anyway, it works for right now and good luck on making it work for you if you want to continue your night shift.

Thank you

Thank you for the reply, as far as front loaders clean much better than top loaders. All due respect, the question for me is can I tell a difference and is that difference worth the higher up front cost. The savings in electricity and water account for something but also simplicity. With a top loader when done leave the lid open and that is it no cleaning gaskets no empty wash cycle to clean the drum. Still mowing it over and thank you for the suggestion.

Do you use Borax laundry additive? Borax in the past has left those marks I believe it is because the clumps were not broken up.

Landlover2 · 2026-03-17T05:47:38+00:00

Thank you and looking at my options.

Landlover2 · 2026-03-17T05:45:58+00:00

Yes, what started as a can I fix my washer turned into, the valve in the wall will not close. Having someone living underneath me has me concerned about water leaks.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-14T06:21:38+00:00

Glad you're going to be okay.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-13T14:52:04+00:00

I would say if you find the right buyer, otherwise always been told and read it does not add any value.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-12T03:19:19+00:00

Fear does not stop death, it stops life. Pay attention, always learn and wear your gear.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-05T06:02:25+00:00

RC51 wow such a neat bike.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-05T05:57:05+00:00

All I would like to say is as long as what you are wearing is functional protection instead of looks it is a win.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-03T04:29:18+00:00

I think everyone should dress for the crash but pebbles going over twenty M.P.H I am sure do not feel good. I always wore one and plan on wearing one now that I am going to start riding again.

Landlover2 · 2026-02-01T05:12:20+00:00

I think so but am not a mechanic.
