Selling the 250 Ninja


Yep I'm selling my 1995 Kawasaki Ninja 250. I've had this bike since 2001 and put almost 12,000 miles on it since then. I've made trips up to Tahoe, up to Virginia city, and all around town. My biggest trip was from Reno to Vallejo and on to Bodega Bay and back to Reno. That' s a long ride on a 250, and the airs so thin at the summit I wasn't sure the bike would make it over the hill but it did, and it was an awesome ride. For the last couple years I really haven't been riding it much and every time insurance or registration is due I tell myself I need to sell it. So finally, here it is, ready for the next person to take it where ever they want to go and have some fun. If you're interested check it out http://yougottahaveskills.no-ip.org/1995ninja250.htm
Sorry folks it's sold.

Another day of skiing

I got to do some more skiing up at Mt. Rose Friday. It was a great day. Not too windy at the top (some people like to call it Mt. Blows) and not too cold either. I decided to try one of the double black diamond runs (jackpot was the name) in the chutes area. I wasn't sure what to expect since this would be my first double black diamond run. I kept inching closer and closer to the edge, and I still couldn't see the slope. Eventually, when it was too late to turn back, I could see the slope, and it was definitely the steepest run I've ever been on. Adding another level of difficulty, it was in the shadows which made it hard to see the terrain. Needless to say I made it down in one piece without falling and I got this picture with my camera phone from the bottom.
