I'm in love.

Got my ZX14.

Picked up my black bride today!
Put 500K on her.
YEEEEEEEEEAH!

Bike came with some crate damage which Kawi is fixin.
At first the dealer was not gonna let me take it cause of some cosmetic damage.

Both mid pipes, lower left cowling, slight frame blemish, and slight rim blemish.

Too bad they will not pay me out at they're cost for damage.
I would rather use the money for a pipe than have the stockers replaced.

Any way, i love it.

My only gripe is the rear brake.
Noticed it does not have much power.
Not nearly what it should be. I'm gonna bleed it and check the pads.
I think they got contaminated with chain lube or somethin.
I checked all the discs and they seemed clean before I rode it!

The rear brake

I kinda felt the same with mine, I adjusted the rear pedal up just a bit to
what felt comforable to me ... seemed I had to push it to far down.
Anyhow just adjusting the pedel brought back a good feel to the rear brake.

I also did the SS lines ...... that should help out.

Rear brake, what d'you use that for ? Only use mine at a stop light. It aint a Harley.

Black Betty?

Found it!

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)
I said Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam)
Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-Lam)
Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty BAM-BA-LAM
