How many have you taken down...?
Hey fellow riders...It is officially nice out and all bikes are out. Lets hear from you riders about all the people who have tried to challenge the Mean 14 machines!! lol... I mean after I broke her in I did have a few try and test and when we got off at the same exit he said to me..."That bike is a 14...How do you manage to lean it like that??" I just said, its alot more agile than people think it is..." lol...If your a street rider and can agree lets hear from you...Nd p.s. any riders in the northeast out there...Maybe we can meet up and all go for a ride... Be Smart and Be Safe out there....

I enjoy taking fools on the outside of the corner. They'll be tucked in really tight to the inside of the curve and here comes this big, red ZX-14 passing them on the outside. It's great!
A couple years back I started riding at the Autobahn Country Club road course (Joliet, IL) and the techniques you learn on the track make handling the streets childsplay. What's really great is when you learn proper gear selection and throttle control so when you're mid-corner you're already charging like a bull while the other riders are waiting for the next straight-away to twist. By the time they build any kind of speed I'm nothing more than a small dot way off in the distance. They're always surprised to see I'm on a 14.

I'm pretty sure that "The Gap" is closed, and may be for some time. Rock slides.

I haven't been able to put but 20 miles on mine this year so far.......Ohio weather sux dot com!!! But last fall before I put her on the bikejack, I had an '09 Busa with passenger playin' around with me n my wife on my 14 -- his was bone stock with the big 30 day paperplate on the back of it so he probably didn't know how to ride it anyway........but.........still smoked him. He started the sh*t pulling up next to me and piping the stockers!! So when I cracked my throttle and let the Brocks holla, he didn't look back at me -- light went green, and I was the last he seen.....
