I must admit, that ZX-14 looks really good in black.  

Thanks Tony.  Note it is the faster one with the silver wheels.

FZeedom & Sparky I really enjoy the pictures!   That ZX-14 had a nice shine (as Tony might say "it looks Grrrreat!")

I'm looking forward to more from the rest of you photographers.

I think if Matt rides this...


And I ride this...


Maybe I can keep him in sight.  Nah, that aint gonna happen.  What was I thinking.

Na Ben, FZeedom posted a pic of your chicken strips. You're getting down there on your neighbor's ZX14!
Unless we're riding twisties in the rain. The scooter will probably never see rain but think how good the front would stick with double the normal traction availiable.   It's really fun ride!

My Mom likes it I think.


I'll post more pics later since they're still uploading but how often can you do this on such a warm day?


Xspain Heather and I rode more rustic roads after coffee. She can really ride that little red bike.

I think it's because everything matches.

Matt and I drove up to Muskego  Wisconsin on this fine brisk morning. This weekend, we were supposed to go to Moonshine, Illinois for a bike meet up and a burger. Yes, Moonshine is a true town with a population of two. We both agreed to cancel the trip due to the snow this week. Looking at the wet, snowy weather that southern Illinois had this weekend, we made a good call.

Back to Wisconsin, Matt and I met up with the usual suspects for coffee with the Sport Touring group and certain members of the exclusive Federated Union of Coffee Klatches Eastern Region Section.

The scooter below, ahem, motorcycle below, stole the show. Every motorcycle owner and non-owner stopped by to take pictures and ask questions. I find it quite humorous because they were all envious to ride it but no one would be caught dead on it, except for one nameless rider. What was I thinking though? This same guy rode his mom’s bike two weeks ago and rode that bike like a champ so who I am to judge. I am sure some "man law" was broken today.

In my mind though, the image below was the real show stopper.

Toyota Supra on Steroids

Wait to you guys get a load of this.....

Guess how much horse power?
Matt said the air intakes could suck in small rodents.

Nope, it has more horse power than that.......

 

This bad boy gets 1055 Horse Power. That is not a typo. OVER ONE THOUSAND HORSES.  To give you an idea, the Corvette has 400 HP.  This car can do the quarter mile in a little over eight seconds.  Damn, that is fast.  The battery was moved to the trunk while the passenger airbag was taken out to hold an instrument cluster panel.

OK, I lost some of you.  Sorry, at this point, I figured there was nothing else that would capture today better than that car so I put the camera away. Although, Matt did have his first experience at Dog N Suds today.  What did Matt learn from his experience? Dog N Suds does not take Visa and the gas station next door has a broken ATM.  Matt was not too happy doing the dishes.
I kid, I kid.   Another great day on the bike.

[Mr. Squidward]

Great day, nice seeing everyone, but I was disappointed Frezy didn’t do the adventure bike thing around the washed out bridge.

Dumb, off topic question.

I think it was on Matt's BM, the pass seat bag.  Does any one ( or Matt if this is yours ) knwo the manufacture of it.

I looked at it, did one of those commit to memory routines, and by time I thought of it today, I can;t recall the mfgr of it.

Mark's (Sparky) bike had the Chicane bag. Nice bag, was thinking about getting one myself after seeing it in person.
I think Mark has had his for several years, the reflective piping and supposed to be waterproof (liner sewn in bag), not sure if water seeps past the zippers.

[sscully]

Mark, not Matt.  I was almost close.  
I could not even recall the mfgr of the bag, but at least I got the first letter of his name right  
Does that count for anything ??

[johnnyb]

Absolutely...Now you get to buy a round of coffee next time.

WOW !!  That is an expensive fine for missing a name, if all the meets have turn out like this one.

The owner was very happy that we showed up SUN AM.   Probably doubled her SUN sales volume that day !!

[Sparky]

Yep, I had the Chicane Bag. Love it!

[FZ1 Matt]

I think the Owner was happy that these 2 cool bikes showed up which caused all of the action.

Those are nice bikes. Finally I got to park next to one of my people!
