    Had a crash need advice on next steps

    Thanks guys. Definitely not worth fixing the 250. Guess i'll patch up what I can and continue riding for the rest of the season. I just needed some sage advice from more experienced riders and what you guys gave me makes sense. Thanks again

    *Newb Rider* Cold start question - 2010 ninja 250R

    Hey Mister, I ride a ninja, what I do is full choke, turn on and as the rpms rise I adjust the choke down to try and keep it around 2000, while I put on my gear, about 1 -2 minutes, the bike warms then I turn off the choke get on and ride. Since it's a manual choke it won't come down by itself.

    who's still riding? (in toronto)

    Ice pellets today on my way home at around 5:30pm, took it super easy on every turn coming home. It's going to be a nice sunny day tomorrow for commuting to work. Sunday also looks promising for a ride north.

    Welcome to the forum. No heated gear here, the weather for this week looks more than acceptable. Starts cool on Monday then warms up to 8C. Unfortunately, I only use it during the week to commute, will keep commuting 'til the snow flies as well.
