First ride in a motorcycle since 1994, this has been long overdue. It sucks that I picked a dreary, rainy, overcast day. The humidity was so high that it caused fogging/condensation in between the lens and the GoPro housing. So here I am, first bike ride in 18 years, testing my new GoPro HD camera and also my new 2010 ZX-14. Hopefully I will record better quality videos next time.

GoPro HD settings: (r2 - 720p - 30fps)
GoPro HD accessories: (Chest Mount Harness, Handlebar and Tripod Mount)
Flash Memory Card - SanDisk Ultra - 16 GB - Class 6 - SDHC
Video Editing Program: CyberLink PowerDirector 8

NOW i see why you bought my gas tank, your bike will look soo much better when you get it, good video by the way!
if you really havent rode for 18 years i would say you did good.

Speedy, hard to believe but is true. In 1994 I hang up my tools, change careers and got into social work. It is all explained HERE. It shouldn't take me long to get used to riding again!

Welcome back to riding! Don't know what part of Philly you're in, but keep an eye out for a silver '08 in the western suburbs... In the mean time, enjoy!

Very nice!

That was a nice vid. Hopefully in the next one you'll be passing the cars instead of the other way around!

It reminds me of the new ZX-10 with the two-colored fuel tank.

Me too, even though I bought a black tank from Speedyme, I think I'll be using the red tank for a while.

Rook, I was at the dealership the other day and thought exactly the same thing, it does looks a little like the 2012 Ninja ZX-10. All I need now is a red rear tail fairing, red front fender and a red front and side panels graphics and I am all set, lol Too bad no one sells graphic kits for the ZX-14, not even Factory Effex.

it's nice to see you out there enjoying yourself.

Thank you Maddevill! I am looking forward to lots of fun on this bike!

I wish I could just start making cool aftermarket items for the 14 like a hugger without a chain guard, street legal lightweight top fairing with single headlight, now we need vinyl designs too! If only economic times were better....
