Hi folks,

I live in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil and I've been riding bikes since 1976 (started on a Suzuki AII 50cc). Form 76 to 89 I've riden 2-stroke bikes most of the time. Yamaha trail and street bikes to be more precise.

Than I had a Honda experience until I bought my first Kawasaki (2000). Long story short, my wife made me sell my ZX-11 in 2006 'cose my son had just became 16 and was very excited about the Two Wheel World.

For long four years I had to borrow good friends' bikes (for me it's almost borrowing a wife, I don't like the idea of lending or borrowing them) just to keep my adiction under control.

When my son was about to become 20 he decided to buy a Ninja 250R. I put some money in and convinved him to buy an ER-6N with ABS instead which IMHO is easier to ride and safer. As he took over the ER-6 I bought a 250R to ride beside him on weekends.

I travel to the US quite frequently (NJ & NY) and my intention at this forum is to exchenge opinions, experiences and good hints were to buy accessories.

My warmest regards
Andre
