2011 Ninja 250R + Drift HD170 + 9 Mile Canyon (pt1)

My first riding video. I just bought a Drift Innovation HD170 camera and I took the first chance I could get to go out and test it out.

This is a road I found when I was scouring Google Maps for a road nearby (Ridgecrest) that looked like it would be fun. This is my first bike and I've only been riding for about a month as of this video.

Do you wear headphones while out in nowhere land? Or just listening to the wind? When I'm out late with little traffic I put on iPhone with some clip ons? Just loud enough to hear.

@jalene150 When I ride alone I wear some earbuds with an iPod. When I ride two up, I use my Scala Rider headset to talk to my passenger. I prefer to wear the earbuds, since it cuts out most of the wind noise.

Let me get this straight, from the "research" I've done on this video and it's comments: You've been riding for about 10 months. You wrecked your first bike, which was a 250. You could barely touch on the 250. And now you're buying a ZX10. Do you like to live?

[derdyserdy]

@Dogfacerawr Incorrect. I could touch just fine on the 250, albeit not flat footed but most of my boot touched the pavement on both sides. I never said I was getting a ZX10, where did you get that from? I bought a ZX6 and have put about 6000 miles on it so far with no issues. You really wise up after that first wreck. What's up with the negative comments lately?

Awesome video man. I crashed my gixxer 750 awhile ago and now I might just pick up the 2011 ninja 250 :) just for work and school. The bike looks sick!

[derdyserdy]

@GsxR750Speedemon Awesome that you're thinking about getting this bike! Just don't expect nearly the same sort of speed or power from it.

great video! Could you please name the songs used?

[Dogfacerawr]

@derdyserdy I was incorrect about the ZX10 comment, I read that wrong. But what I was getting at was I found it astounding that someone who could not fully touch on a 250 and wrecked would move up to a bigger bike so quick. But to each his own, you may be a great rider, I don't really know you. Good luck out there man, ride safe, and have fun, sorry for the negative comment.

@and17y1 Thanks, man! The speedo says it tops out at 120mph, but while I had it I only got it to go about 105mph.

@wayne840 That's what part 2 of this vid was for =)
