Rode the Ninja II today! It felt good to finally climb on my new 14 for a few laps around the block. It's been weird having a brand new bike sitting around and not being able to ride it.
Only went a little over a mile as my right thumb does not move yet and by the third trip around the block it was hurtin' pretty good.
I was suprised that my leg did not feel too bad. The hematoma above my knee is still very swollen. If it does not start going down soon they will have to drain it. Not fun as they just use a big ass hollow needle and vacuum it out.
While I have been healing I removed the stock rear fender thingy from the back and got a plate mount complete with a real carbon plate frame I found on E-bay. Got rid of the stupid cartoon Ninja stickers off the back. (I now have 4 of them!) I almost finished installing the Scorpio alarm system. Took the dorky round reflectors off the front and installed a stick on tank protector. Also installed a set of Muzzy's frame sliders. I'll try super hard not to have to use them!:P
I think I'll treat my self to a Corbin seat for this one and that will be it for now. Plenty of time to work on it in the winter.
