Great report and great blog you have. the Kawasaki bike sure looks good on your header...looks new. Must have been one of its first photos? Can you show a tire to tire pic of your 2 bikes?

Ha! You're very kind. I keep meaning to get a photo of both bikes, but I usually forget when they're out together.
The Ninja is only a month old in the header image, that was about 15k miles ago...
Safety-wise, I don't find commuting too bad. I'm still the biggest risk to myself, and I've been lucky in that I don't tend to push it, but my closest calls have all resulted from going too fast, even a little too fast is too much, so I take it easy nowadays.
I've really enjoyed the TT250 for this, it's perfect for all these 30-50mph roads in Pittsburgh. The trouble with the Ninja (even though it's a small sportbike) is that it likes to be wound out, so that's how you tend to ride it.
