Getting my 2012 tri-color abs Saturday. I've been riding over 30 years, but this will be my first sport bike. My last was a 1997 Shadow vlx that I sold when I moved from Florida to North Carolina. The CBR is going to be the primary ride on my 70 mile daily commute for work. Lots of good info here, and some helpful folks

Welcome to the forum and congrates on your new bike. Your going to save a lot on gas money and have a lot of fun doing it. 70 miles a day to work and back is a lot of driving. good with your new bike and be safe out there

Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of the CBR250r

 

[WNCrider]

Marshall is about 30 miles north of Asheville. It's a daily 70 miles round trip, costs about $200 a month in gas in my 2007 Honda Fit. I hope to cut that in half with the bike.

 

[jkincaid1024]

Gah! That's a long ways from Raleigh. lol.

 

[etiainen]

Yeah it is.

Got to ride through NC. **** your state is long.

I'm from small ass NJ. Lol

Anyways. Welcome.

 

[jkincaid1024]

Nah. NC isn't long. Freaking Texas is. I swear I thought I'd never get out of that state. We drove to AZ once. It was horrible. AND I got a ticket in the middle of the desert. Hadn't seen a car in hours. The second I give it a lil gas, I see blue lights. I thought I was in Super Troopers. lmao.

 

[etiainen]

It's long when you're on your bike.

I've never been to Texas. Crossing that sounds like a real chore.

 

[jkincaid1024]

Good point. Anything longer than an hour would be "long" for me. I'm still a noob and all. Yeah. I hate TX. Drove through it twice and got tickets both times. Hence why I drive like a grandma these days.

 

[etiainen]

Maybe the CBR will slow you down a bit.

Felt like forever getting into NC on 85 to reach SC.

Mostly on the way back. For some reason the way there felt like it didn't even happen. I was probably just too excited.

 

[WNCrider]

arrrggg...I feel like a kid on Christmas eve waiting for Santa to bring my bicycle..........

 

[etiainen]

You'll feel even better...when you ride it.

Nice to see another rider from NC. I'm in Morrisville, very close to Raleigh. Have fun with your new bike.
