quote:I dropped mine after putting the lowering bones on it... It was sitting straight up because I was looking for something to pull the rear tire up onto since the kickstand was too long. I turned back around and it was laying on its side lol. thank god for my ginormous frankestien bolt looking sliders.
Ha Ha did the same thing when I first lowered mine. Went for a ride and parked it, like you said standing too straight up walked away to talk to someone a gust of wind and a couple of people said oh I turned around and my bike was on its side. Not too bad frame sliders saved her but ego wise whoa. Good thing I bought those first day i got the bike just because.

I know accidents happen......Well hey...you are the one who compared the 14 brakes to a harley. A company who has never in all its years made a bike that does anything fast. Its no secret (unless you have been living under a rock) that the 14 has 3 times the brake power and weighs 3 times less. So I had to give you some shit! LOL!
I will stand my ground and say that if you are going to upgrade to that extreme get the right practice (racing school) Not to mension its a blast and you WILL learn something. I always do.

I was wondering myself how one goes from a harley to a 14...it is quite the leap.

No self control, no kids and no oppressive mortgage. Also wanted to start drag racing

I'm a firm believer that any mature adult can ride a 14. It's the most mild mannered beast you'll ever ride. At least he didn't buy a litre bike. You say that harley never made anything fast... in case you don't remember, harleys were the kings back in the day. Not fast by todays standards, but back then nothing was touching them. They also make the vrod, which will give any 600 a hell of a beating in the 1/8th. I don't like harleys AT ALL, but I'll give them a little credit. Hell, if they cost about the same as a hyosung, I might even consider buying one.... used lol.

I laid mine down this last weekend really sucks! the damage wasn't as bad as it could've been, going 118mph.
Right side fairing and rear tail were badly cracked. pipe was flattened. frame slider saved the motor and covers.
They already have it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIieDH8JtiY

Yeah, that had to suck. Looked like you grabbed a little brake and folded the front tire.

LOL!!!! that was the first thing i asked and they looked at me like i was crazy! I put on the brakes a little to hard to keep from breaking out and still broke out. It was a cold track and alot of leaves on it.

Consider yourself lucky accidents can be worse..
This is a friend of mine below he went from a a smaller bike to a ZX14... He is one kool guy.. ..
The story goes is that he wanted a bigger motorcycle so he moved up to the ZX14 07 white limited model...
we have an airstrip around here some twisties apparently one night he went down that road with those battle axes that come with the motorcycle apparently the helmet was on the side of the bike... Brand-new bike lucky he walked away alive and recovered and is doing very well.... Matter of fact this year I moved on the same street he lives on so he lives a couple houses down from me... Couple days ago I took a look at his motorcycle as I was going to my house I talked to him a little and the conversation was what he was going to do with the motorcycle .. he offered me the bike for $2000 the zx14 has no miles on it... I'm going to go over next week and push that zx14 to my house... I will take pictures of the motorcycle..
Luckily my buddy is doing okay and hopefully when I get the bike straightened out I can throw him the keys when I go riding.. Like the top gun movie got to get him back in the saddle...

Welcome Dave, and you better get used to this kind of things. Changing from a Chopper style bike directly to a ZX14 it's serious business!!! (I did it), so as mentioned before....there is a learning curve so take it easy and little by little discover all the power and performance you can get out of you Baby.
Hugs,
David
