I post this in the R section cause it kinda feels like home for me in this section. :))

A few of you know I recently went north for a few days. I woke up one morning and all the stars were in alignment right wolf? ;) So I pack only the bare essentials in my tank bag, and head from my home on the kitsap peninsula north to the Canadian border by Vancouver. Trouble free border crossing, Canadian border crossing guard babes like big boy bikes apparently! I made it from my house to that border crossing in less than two hours. :)) day was clear and dry and I had just installed my rifleman throttle. It seemed the perfect acid test for a mod I was hesitant to do. It was perfect! Just excellent aggressive response. Once across the border I had a short run to the ferry over to Vancouver Island.
I was eating along at about 130mph and up ahead I saw a bike. Three empty lanes, a bike in the left lane... 'Goose, its time to buzz the tower!', so blow by the guy a lane away right at the top of 5th! Grabbed 6th, held it wot for a bit then backed off, ride as normal to the ferry. Grab my ticket, park at the head of lane 41 on the tsawassen ferry. I was first in line as I had about 30-40 mins to wait. No other bikes. Ten minutes later fella I passed shows up! :)) looks at me says 'that was fuckin fast man!' :)) big grin, chat for a bit, his name is Jason and he has been on his bike since Nova Scotia. French Canadian, riding for two months! His whole entire life was strapped to that bike. A Canadian infantry Vet with a leg injury that axed him out. His ride was a Honda shadow with his touch on every part. All his own maintenance. Awesome awesome dude. We ate poutine in the lounge and drank a beer.gettimg ready to dock and he says, 'hey man, I'll roll with ya for a bit.' Kool bud! Off we go. I let him lead and be is haulin ass! 80 mph on that fuckin old Honda with all his shit flapping away!!! You are the fuckin man Jason!!!! I could see your pipes scrapin in that big left sweeper! So we roll on these BIG THREE LANE sweeping roads north out of Victoria. Come to a big three wide stoplight and everyone DRAG RACES. No shit. Old ladies, dads, everyone rips off flat out three wide! Just for fun! Soon as I saw that, I realized I fuckin liked Vancouver island! Things opened up and I gave J the wave and then had to burn! C ya bud!
At one point during that ride north I held WOT in sixth gear for maybe 15-16 seconds against the limiter. :))) fuckin fun! Crazy fuckin fun! Insane fun! Some great two lane twisted and I cross a little city called Nanaimo, then ten minutes later into Nanoose Bay. Find my buds house and Shazam! Park the bike, huge hugs. Keith has been my friend since we were teenagers ridin dirt bikes and ninja 600's! He went the athlete route, baseball, now two point three kids and wife just like me. Beautiful home! Awesome family! We grab a beer and bong rip, shoot the shit, talk bikes, catch up. I offered to let him ride Priscilla, but he was a little worried about just taking off in her and never comin back! :))
Tons of good roads everywhere! Fishing, swimming at the lake, the river! The babes sunbathing! :)) awesome trip! I spent a morning getting my friends dad absolutely wasted! We drank a bottle of gin with slices of lemon. Good stuff Dutch! Ya taught me a new one! :)) love ya man! You have been teaching me things since that first shot of scotch sir!
The burn home was F A S T. I hate to speculate what kinda pics some of those speed cameras I rolled through got! :)))) hit the border, another couple hour ride to Seattle, then over to the peninsula. No incidents really, roasted Jason and a bunch of other bikes, a Ferrari f430 maranello. A Subaru WRX STi that gave me more trouble than the Ferrari, but was no trouble at all really! :))). Only saw one pig that I blew by so fuckin fast I bet he pinched the head off his dick when I went by so fast it rocked his car and his scrotum cramped on him! :))) I don't think he even bothered to try, I don't know, I didn't look back, just fuckin burned that big wide road down! :))) awesome machine. Unbelievable machine. I don't care what the fuck whomever comes out with, this ZX-14R has a home forever in my garage. That's a fact. Set up correctly it does NOTHING WRONG. The power is stupendous. The fit and finish is so fuckin good. Park this bike beside any other and go look at their gauges and stuff. All look kinda shitty. All bikes i park beside just look kinda dated or just not very refined. Other sport bikes look small and intimidated. Harley's look stupid. This machine is at a stage of evolutionary development where other bikes may exceed her in the future, but they will have to build off of the platform of EXCELLENCE that Kawasaki has created here. I missed you guys!

Damn Blast, readin that gave me goosebumps brother. Awesome pics too! Sounds like tons of fun!! I know what your sayin about these bikes man. We all try soooo hard to put into words what these machines are like and it's just almost impossible! I mean, we can write the greatest statement we can get from our heads and think...that's it!! 2 minutes later it's like, still doesn't do it justice. This bike is without a doubt the best money I've ever spent in my life! Everywhere we go people come up and just stare and wanna talk about them! Chicks want their pictures on them, GUYS want their picture on them!! I go to several "BIKE NIGHTS" around Tulsa and it sit's in the lot out there with all those others while I eat a burger and have a cool one and EVERYONE will make their way to the ZX-14R and stop!
Hell, if I'm standing there, everyone want's to know how much horsepower it has, how fast will it go...how fast have I had it, etc... Like I've said in this forum, I've got a 2013 Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra-Classic Electra-Glide that I've had since January and it's only got 551 miles on it!! How the fuck do you justify ridin that with a ZX-14R sittin in the garage? I mean, it's like, do you sleep with your grandma or Angelina Jolie! LMFAO!! I don't know, the only thing that I HATE about riding that fucker is havin to come home! Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time buddy and really loved reading about it! Peace brother!

Sick

P.S. Speaking of Chicks and Pics, I was at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa tonight and this came walking by and had to have HER picture on the bad boy! Sorry it's not rotated, it comes up fine on my computer!

SIC? There's a bike in that pic, where?

C that is exactly how I like to tour homie! Where in the high heavens do I sign up to tag along. Man this distance thing is just crazy wrong!
Ha love the police fly by! When we flash by, they don't know what to do next. Over here in the GTA they sit there stunned and after the reality of the fly buy sets in and they reach for the lights, I am in the next country. Touring C style gets my approval, I would actually enjoy "touring!" Now add a few friendly's as pictured in Sic's post and wholla, the makings of a great trip!

And C - right!

Mad love Braz,
W

Hey Sic what does the tat say on her chest?

Just a little didie
I was buzzing along at a brisk clip on my fav highway, when I noticed a white cruzer in the distance, I buzzed by him at some point. So I slowed to 120. As he gained (about 12 car lengths, the cherries popped up). I assume he was pulling someone else over. As I crested into brisk clip zone again I decided to grab an exit. Detour and reenter the same high way. Hey let's not push our luck. As this happened I quickly began cruzing and rolled up on my friend who cherried and lit up the highway a few km earlier. I hung back until I saw him take an exit as he was on the exit ramp, I pulled to the slow lane beside the exit ramp. I "burned" by him (stated mildly) and waved bye bye! Straight out of smokey and the Bandit! Burt would be proud. Oh did't stick around to see if they waved back, but they appeared to look "surprised"

This moment was brought to you by Wolfman, on the zx 14 ninja forum

Carry on! Now returning to your regular program. Ie. Touring C style.

Hey sic, too bad that pic did not appear under the the thread "pics of who did you eat!" Or did it?

LMAO!! Naaaah but I DID sniff the color outta my seat when she got up!!

Sick

Hahahaha! Hell yeah sic! Sorry, wasnt slammin Harley's bud. I owned one for awhile. My wife still loves em, likes that laid back ride. I just lost my interest in em. If I win the lottery, I'll keep a fat bob around!
And that chic on ur bike is hot! Shoulda told her she had to be naked to sit on it. :))) and you are right dude, nothing said or written can actually get across what and how this machine does things. Like no other!
And wolf my man, that little bit about the pig, hahahaha, I bet he was like, WTF! :))) lol!! I bet that cop ends up wanting a bike. :)

Very cool write up C....sounds most excellent...glad you were able to get away and roll into some undiscovered country;)You're keerect about this machine...none other like it out there....

Awesome write up C!!!

I would love to go ride the Left Coast. My issue is that if I cannot ride there I should be there. I know I can ride my VTX that far, but I don't know about the 14. I did do 1500 miles in 5 days 4 nights, but that's just a tad farther, by like twice.

Enjoy it for me! OH and next time stop by and say 'HI" to my dark lord and savior Bill Gates for me :)

Fing hell nasty! I gotta crank out some miles! :))

C and Nasty the true champion is the one that has gone through more tires! C and Nasty how many sets, compare and then the cock fight really begins. My thoughts!
W

Yup! But mine aren't flat in the center! :)))

Miles is on way, tires is how real men compare. Just saying.

I'm just bustin balls Nasty! :))

Nasty knows that!
Nasty I still marvel at how much you can ride without physically falling apart.
He is still iron ass in my books!
LOL
W

Yeah, holy smokes, I thought I was gonna gain 600 miles back on him during my trip, and all I did was lose 3-400 more! :))) my hat is off to ya Nasty!

I gotta catch ya man! Can't have a dick sticker on Priscilla! :)))

Now thats funny, but you can cheat a little and run softer tires

Oh I'm runnin sticky!!! :)))

I've never seen a rider eat chicken stripes like C. I am cornering better but I still have an inch! Mad skills C!

Ahh, thank you sir! :))) I ran around today on this old farm road, stopped at this mom and pop store. Asked real polite like if they minded if I went fast once around the lake. They were like 'no we don't mind, work traffic don't start for a couple hours, sheriff is up to you.' I drank my coffee, me and the counter guy chatted bikes, he rides a dang virago. Then I ran that shizzle. 2.9 miles at about a good 85%. not one car, only about ten driveways. I could hear Priscilla's exhaust echoing back all across the lake. I bet they were like 'oh, that was fast....' I didn't stop back, just hit an uphill cutoff road marked 15 at 45 and went wot.

C and Bobs, wish you guys lived up hear, we would go for burns nightly!
