Evening all,
Hope you're all doing well and please keep giving updates on your status ...
It's official, I'll be starting my new job either on the 1st or on the 16th ...
congrats

Thanks, at the same time, I'm getting more requests to get me hands dirty on motorcycles ...
Now a guy with a Kawi Ninja 250 wants to make it go faster ... If this picks up I might leave all of the other behind ...

I wont ...
As I post I'm looking at sites that offer 'performance' parts for Kawasaki Ninja 250 ... if I go down 3 teeth on the rear to 41, it has 14/45, I'll give it more top speed, right?
Plus the air filter and jet kit, he already installed an Akrapovic slip on ... $950.00

You'll get more top speed at the expense of acceleration.
It's a 250...it will never be fast.

Thanks for the good wishes AJ ... as said, for this weekend I have 2 regular maintenance, 1 Ducati M620 and 1 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ... That represents for me, $90.00 between both bikes ...
Well, they say 'we lamment that the burocracy made this misshap happen, but, we're looking forward to have the approval for your position available by no later than mid-year next year..." I ask, if I didn't have this other offer open, the bike maintenance doesn't bring enough to even pay mortage!!!

A triathlon seems like a horrible idea. All those poor calories being marched to their deaths
I couldn't agree with you more. But trust me, the calorie corral in this bod is getting crowded. Some of them need to go (but there will be more joining the party shortly after said triathlon under the beer tent - same place where brain cells will be put to rest).

Tell him to start off at the top of a bigger hill... or add another bike to push this one from behind.

I was drinking a beer, I almost choked when reading ... At least he's going up bike by bike, he just wants something more out of the 250 ... I'll do me best !

OH. lethe-san, me not knowing such motorcycle existed ...
Thanks for teaching ....
No really, he's doing OK, I've played a bit with numbers and if I go down 3 teeth on rear sprocket, he'll loose punch at lower revs .. it might give him the extra 8mph he wants ... to make his the fastest one in Panama ...
