    A bike wash saved my life

    Well, maybe. I really don't wash my bike with soap and water too often. Usually I just use some Honda Cleaner and call it good. Today however, I just decided to break out the bucket and hose. As I was rinsing the bike off, I noticed that the top bolt holding the left shock absorber looked wierd...

    Are mechanics in Japan Gorillas?

    Man o' man. I just got my OEM case guards to install. The left one went on smoothly. The right side had a bunch of torque installed (from the factory) on the higher of the two replacement bolts. The sheet said to torque the new bolt to 33 NM. No way the old one was that tight. I got it off but...

    I rode the ZX-14!

    My buddy has had a ZX-14 on deposit for a month or two now. Yesterday, I ride over to his place to head out on a local ride together. What do I see in his driveway as I pull up? You guessed it. A brand new, all black, King Zixxer! He got it last thursday and already has over 600 miles on it. The...

    I have tomorrow ( April 18th ) off and hope to hit some mountain roads. Anybody up for a ride? As a side note, anyone that has my off days Monday & Tuesday, if you give me some notice for a future get together, give me shout. I usually don't go up to the mountains on the weekends. Too many...

    Front springs only?

    I am interested in replacing the springs and the shocks with aftermarket parts. My question is.... has anyone replaced the springs only? How does the bike balance? I will eventually get shocks as well but the cost is more than I want to pay out now. As a side note, I currently plan on using...

    Was it the "hair"?

    This is just a funny picture I made awhile back. I figured I'd post it here :ohyeah00: . The Mohawk is too funny to wear. I've only actually ridden with it a couple times. It nearly causes the cage drivers to wreck. I may have to break it outta storage for at least one outting on the Max. Maybe...
