I'm not going to put the secondary plates back in, and will refrain from riding as much as I can untill I get it tuned. I should be getting my PC3 on Wed, and if I can make up my mind I will order my exhaust on monday. I would be up for a ride any time after I get it tuned.
I saw a red ZX14 around 645-700 yesterday afternoon on B-8 and Briarforest, was that any of you guys?
Busted!
It's me. I recently purchased the bike as of Tuesday this week from Wild West Honda, it was the red one on the showroom floor  . I live over on Briar Forest and Seagler in the town home jungle. I'm also a Honda Blackbird owner, and soon to be selling the XX within next few weeks.

Yes, that place is filled with the dregs. Ethnicly confused white kids, hot-headed retards and police with quotas to fill. I would reccomend avoiding that area at all costs, I've seen many accidents involving ricers and bikes.

I know of some nice open back roads where you can open these bikes up.

I'm going to need a PC3 for the ZX-14. Are there any local vendors who sell them? How about this MetricMotorcycles shop?

This was a fun-run I did, sanctioned and sponsered by my Z-06 enthusist co-worker. We had a hell of a time, relatively safe and cop free. There are videos from the guncam on the Z-06 toward the end of the thread.

Thanks, I've think i've seen your SRT up @ 24 Hour fitness on occasion. I float between the one by Hayes and the one near Dairy Ashford. You might have seen the Blackbird running around.
So, are there enough ZX-14 owners to put together a Houston Owners group yet?

there are a few houston motorcycle sites... motohouston.com to name one. Would be nice to have a place for Houston ZX14 owners alone(to plan rides etc), but I'm not sure if there are enough of us.
It's prob. another SRT at 24 Hour. My lazy ass doesn't go to the gym anymore. I do drive a lot in those locations though.

Be very watchfull on that road. It has been used for so long that 'everyone' knows about it.
Traffic has also increased.
Any riders you will ride with in that area know where it is.

I don't think Metric stocks Power Commanders, but he can get them.
