Re: Anyone else ride motorcycles???
I would love to get a bike, but being 5'6'' and 130lbs soaking wet in jeans I think it would be hard to find something that I would be able to control. Not to mention not having any money to buy a bike and the thought of what my parents would do if I got on.

250s are really light manageable bikes. I'm by no means a strong person and I can easily ride my 250.

im your height but out weigh you by anywhere from 20-40 lbs. ive rode many bikes from 954 cbrs to 600 cbrs to r1s. Ive never had a problem controlling any of the bikes. Take your time with it and youll be fine. Start off on quads or dirtbikes and it makes the transition a little smoother. There are 130 lb riders that ride busas and 1ks and all other types of liter bikes with out a problem.

Hmm. Maybe one day I will get myself a bike once I am done with college and all that good stuff. I like the looks of the 2010 Ninja 250R. Didn't realize how light 250's could be so thats a good thing for me.

Re: Anyone else ride motorcycles???
Hey, does anyone have experience with track wrap? I REALLY want to buy some pink track wrap for my bike, but no one in my or my dad's group of friends have used it. I want the wrap because I want my bike to sell when I want to sell it, then I can get a new bike! If the buyer doesn't like pink, magic, red and purple again.
This is the website my dad found. http://www.trackwraps.com/wraps.htm The hot pink is my choice From my understanding it's pretty easy to apply yourself and if you mess up it's pretty easy to fix if you fix it right away. Does it leave a residue? And does it come off pretty easily? I'm thinking I'll need at least 2, maybe 3 panels to do the whole bike. Unfortunately my rims will have to stay purple What's with the 90s and their hideous color combos.

dealership i used to work at used to have cars done all the time and lend cars out to the company that did them for demos. they would wrap and un-wrap the whole car several times a day during the demos. it goes on pretty easy if you take your time if you mess up just pull it back off and try again.
ive seen it left on a car for over a year and came right off and left nothing but a clean paint job underneath. only thing you wanna make sure you do if your gonna leave it on for a while is to cover all paint on the body so it doesnt fade uneven.

Oh cool! Thank you for the info! I hate to take the word of the people who are selling the product.
