BlownGoat Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hey all, Came from the car world but always wondered about a bike. Covid lockdown made prices too tempting. Purchased a new 2018 Ninja 400 on 3/28/20. Have about 1,800mi on her now. Have a friend local that picked one up also. He’s not always available so figured I would drop in, say hey, and see if there were any riding groups or get togethers like in the car world. Live north of Dayton in Tipp City, on the border of Huber Heights. About 2mi from where I-70 and I-75 intersect. Cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 The N400 is a great bike to learn on. Also, quite fun for a seasoned rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 So, do you drive a supercharged GTO, or are you just a very lucky farm animal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last house was behind the Quail Run Racquet club in Bellbrook before they built the CostCo there. Yea on the car. Sold it not too long ago but already getting the itch to get something else with 4 wheels First build @ 626 rwhp on stock block with D1: Mid-Ohio Dyno Contest: F1R but prior to forged 390 Edited August 17, 2020 by BlownGoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my understanding. I was looking at the KTM 390 and CBR 500. The ninjas appeal to the seasoned track riders pushed me over the edge. Well, that and it was only $3500 with the KPP which included the sliders, windshield, akra, and tank guards Edited August 17, 2020 by BlownGoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair question. Addressed in my other response. I used to race liter bikes, exotics, whatever I could find from a highway roll. Friend had an Aprilia RSV that we used to run against each other. Don’t think I’m gonna mod the bike. Looking at a C8 or ACR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m considering just inviting people to my house for the weekend of 9/12 for BBQ, BSing, and Bikes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I use to do a meet and greet at Little York Tavern, then people stop showing up and I went back to school. @Helmutt put together some rides back then too.

dustinsn3485 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'm born and raised in Tipp City. I still ride, but y'all would have to come to TN. Been down here for 10 years and 3 years into owning and running business I'm pretty tied to the area. If you're ever toward Nashville hit me up. Back in the day we had a strong group hitting up the local roads. I still lurk, but not too terribly active. Been around for awhile though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient. The groups come in waves. Give it time if you don't find the group your looking for right away. I'm not far from you, but I rarely ride on the street anymore, so I'm not much help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
