2012 Green SE with be up for grabs in FL soon ..
I have made up my mind on my new ZX14R .. I'm tossing my 500 dollar down payment to the wind and not getting the bike when it comes in .. I have been lying to myself thinking i could ride the bike .. I can't even drive my car anymore much less a motorcycle .. I just can't buy the bike to have it set in my shop and never be able to ride it ..
Anyone in FL want the bike call me .. I don't think they will give me back my 500 down payment anyway , so you could save a little money using my 500 dollar down money ..

I thought Lee had shoulder problems like me. Need roataor cup operation on right shoulder, bone spurs pinching nerves on de-acell............. hope by next spring Lee and I have both healed up. Sold my Black 2007 14, hated to see it just set for months... thinking a the new 14R would be better and a few months of Not riding would help me re-hab.

Sorry to hear that Lee, I was really looking forward to reading of your adventures... As you know I am away and won't be around for a while.
I already purchased my BST, working on the swingarm now. Let me know what I can do to assist you.

hi smokin we have not talked much in the past but you are making a mistake ...get the bike...it might hurt to ride it but it will keep you young...Im pushing 60 my self and know your pain but it is worth it ..ride the bike for 20 minutes and get off it and limber up...raise the bars alittle and drop the pegs some... it helps a few years ago at lake george I saw an old couple on a 3 wheel gold wing stop .the lady got off the bike first and pulled out a 3 foot step ladder for her husband to use as he got off the bike and it did not bother them one bit..they looked like they were having a blast..I looked at my wife and said I have to get me one of those ladders and she said ..not yet old man not yet...get your zx 1400 r you deserve it..us old guys got to stick together

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.

Tomorrow is not promised my friend. Do whatever makes you happy or you think is right. As far as your deposit goes, go down there and tell them you changed your mind due to recent info that has been released and want your money back. If they say no, simple.... Someone from the forums in Fla that is buying a new bike use his deposit and give it back to him... It's the descent thing to do.

Lee has or had Frozen Should Syndrome on his one shoulder for the past year. He said it was starting up in his other shoulder as well last time I talked with him. Not much they can do about it but let it pass.
Hey Lee you know there are plenty of us around to not let that new bike sit.

Teddy it's not my shoulders , one shoulder is still stiff but would not stop me from riding the bike.
I don't want to go into details why i'm sick .. It makes me feel worst talking about ..
I really want this bike but i can't have it just set in my shop knowing i'll never be able to ride it ..

That is unfortunate hope you heal up sooner is better, us old guys have to keep riding. Maybe will have to pass the torch for the jockey chores to some youngster like that guy in Sac who posts some real fast times. Got to get him on one of these.
