Yo I got a story to tell
"Cruising down the street on my 14. Jocking the bitches jocking the hoes. Went to the park to get the scoop knuckle heads out there cold shooting some hoops." No but seriously went to a family outing at one of the parks in south Ga. Me and my uncle rode our bikes, and as we was going i noticed they had some nice curves for bikes. We really couldn't do anything on the way there cause we were following the convoy. When we got there my uncle made a statement like, i can take a curve better than them guys on them crotch rocket and he rides a Goldwing GL1000. So everyone jumped on me about my uncle out riding me. It was funny to me i just laughed it off. latter itt started to thundering and getting dark So me and my uncle took off to try to beat the storm. We get to the end of the road getting ready to turn onto the road back to that long curvy road, He raises his shield and say you ready i'm about to make you blow that cow up. I was like huh maybe he really think I slightly be behind him because I cant keep up and not that i respect him and don't wanna just blow by and run out of sight on him on a straight away. So we take off he get deep in and he take the first curve at a blazing 60mph. I was like alright here we go lets go get em. I shoot by in the next curve i come out the curve and nail it. It throws us back to the left I go around that curve now i don't see him. I nail it again just to keep him honest. It throws me back to the right and i'm deep in the curve and a damn car was stalled in the middle of the curve. I jump to the center of the road and by the time i got to the middle of the car i look and see another car coming around the corner ahead so I try to get over and man was it hard. I had to speed up a little and man handle it. Thats when the damn bike just picked up a wobble from out of no were. It wobbled violently right in the middle of my lean. That shit was so crazy. At the next station I pulled over and waited on my uncle. when he got there he said he gave up a long ways back. He was like man did you see that car in the middle of the curve I said yeah i seen it and left it at that and we took it to the house. KING OF LONG DRAWN OUT STORIES THAT REALLY HAPPEN SIGNING OFF. Peace

Realn07,
Thank goodness you weren't hurt or worse. I'm not preaching here but obviously this situation could have been tragic. If you want to race the track is where it should be done, ( oval or dragstrip). I have seen too too many people killed needlessly. It's sometimes hard to resist the temptation on the street but it's better to be safe than sorry!
Once again Thank God no one was hurt.
Be careful out there!

you likely caught a groove in the road while leaned over in lane changes.
That happened to me once, only time she has ever wagged her tail...
still , yes a damper is cheap insurance

Don't think for one moment the ZX-14 can't corner. It can - surprisingly well.
But next time take her to Road Atlanta and get a knee down in the corner with instructors who can show you how to get the most out of the bike. You were probably doing pretty good in those corners, but rough roads, traffic and all the other variables on the street make it impossible to REALLY work the bike to its potential.

You don't sound mature enough to ride this bike. I'd sell it if I were you before you kill some innocent person--

That is a hell of a statement.
Learn from your mistakes. You are alright and nobody was hurt, don't let these people persuade you into doing something you know you shouldn't .

every time I get one of those lessons ... and they are far and few between now ...
I look up .. not usre why .. and say thanks .. got it !! lesson learned .. and to be sure I DO NOT forget them ..
to forget is to be taught again . but harder ...
when your knees shake .. it was god .. when they don't ... uh .. well .. that in itself should scare ya .
and I do agree that alone I ride well .. in packs it is ust unpredictably dangerous I find ...
glad your telling the story ... I like 'em ...

I'm not some rookie that was just some out of character shit that happened. And luckily it turned out alright. You cant tell me you never ever been riding your bike and opened it up on a public road. I'm the first one to holla lets go to the track. but you would not know that you just got your balls up and thought you could get a burn session going. Anyway just wanted to tell you guys some freaky shit that happened no matter how dumb it was. Peace.

just talked to the first lady 14 owner I ever met .. ( met her long ago just never knew she rode ... now I see her on a 14 ?? wow ..
so today I was told she never called for the group ride cause some drunk off the reserve used the Avalanche behind her AND her front end to make the turn at the last minute ...
they were just about to get a green to turn left ... fuckin pi-ute came from behind and laid waste like he sposedly has 8 times now .. still at large ...
yah ... we're the crazy ones eh ??
personally .. I had to check my tires yesterday ... seems the left turns were a tad lose .. thought maybe a bolt was lose .. turns out ...
my wrist was causing the left side of the tire to scrape off right to the edge of the rubber ... no strip on that side now ... hehe ... guess it just took a few nice days in a row ..

Is she okay? I hate to hear about a rider paying the price for another's negligent course.
