Confessions of kawaholic and wife who allows it.

I may be the owner of a new zx14. It all happened Saturday when I went to go and buy a real riding jacket for the first time in 21 years since I have been riding with a gift card I received for xmas.
I took my wife and found the jacket I was going to buy and then went to look and see if they still had any 08's, huge mistake, left from the last time I looked. My friend Ugi sadly decided he wanted to buy one and abandon his kz and since he doesn't speak very good english or know how to haggle with dealers very well I proposed to haggle for him and call him about a price etc.
Well, the guys said I was crazy, no way a bike like that is going to sell this cheap blah blah blah. I said I was serious and to make a long story short they agreed on the price so I called Ugi and told him and he said what color is the bike they have left. Silver I said. He said no I want black. Now with new old stock bikes you pretty much have a choice of what you want as long as they have it in that color. He said he wanted black end of story.His new name is now "Prince Ugi".
The salesperson said why aren't you interested it's a great price. I said yeah, tell you what you give it to me interest free and I'll take it telling my wife "Ha they will never finance me for interest free no money down". My wife bet me and I said sure I am sure they won't go for that. I lost that bet with her and now owe her 100 dollars. No problem she is a part of me. She then said it's your money. Go ahead. Go for it. Instead of trying to talk me out of it. You already have two why do you want another one for. None of the usual bossy nature that women have. So I signed for the papers but couldn't take the bike home that day because of the torrential rains that gave me a swimming pool over the weekend for free. Right in my own basement had a pool party until 6 in the morning!
I had second thoughts and experienced a serious twinge of buyer's remorse and now don't want to follow through with the contract. I have read that once you sign it's yours. Since I haven't taken possession of it I was wondering if that rule applied to this situation as well.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated. My id says what is wrong with having three bikes in my garage all of you guys have that and more. The common sense in me is like that project now will be on hold for another year at least. The id got me again. Last time I walk in to a dealership after having a delicious pint of ale or two.

Screw the bike, I want to marry your wife. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My wife over heard a conversation of where I'm trying to squeeze my buddy out of his kz900 clunker for cheap... Of course she piped right in, you're not going to do another one so soon are you....

Nope, guess not was my reply...

You are a lucky man....

OMR, lol if you say so. I wouldn't mind had it been a really nice kz. Well, at least it is a kawasaki. Gotta go pick up the dehumidifier for the basement. You know how the guys are after a big pool party. Things get a bit messy after the pool has gone down the drain and stay all wet and soggy.

The importnat question is:

What kind of KZ is it that your friend Ugi is thinking of abandoning? Pretty sure we could find a new home for it somewhere w/i KZR.

low price and interest free it has to be a sign please say your gonna take it they are an amazing motorcycle and since your old girls are all ready paid for they aren't costing you anything.you won't regret it you will be blown away at how good they actually are. just think a 165 horsepower touring bike.

wow....your my hero...she won't even let me stand next to the salesman for 15 seconds without walking away with the your day is gonna be hell now look....on all other matters i am a lucky guy....but we are not secure enough right now ,no matter what good deal they have waiting...
You are a smart guy and know what to do....hindsight is 20/20...is that the right bike....would you rather have an 81-83 elr.....
i hope i never buy a new bike... cuase they are sitting in garrages all across america with 1000 miles on em and the owner is over it and they are 4000 less than a new.....my roomates 2008 fz-1 is one trick pony...but we got it home and found....no helmet lock...foot peg mounts flex....passenger seat slants forward and you wear the passenger on your back at each stop...fighting to keep your feet on the pegs cuase they are sliding into you...windscreen scratches from bugs easy....he bought it after looking at it for ten minutes....great bike...but there are 3-6 for sale low miles all the time....
zx-14 awesome....elr better...peace craig

why not have both if you can

now that is a great idea.....one z-1...one z1-r...one gpz...one elr....one zx-11...one zx-14....one zx10r.....


one kx100 mini road racer...one klr650...

one 350 triple...one 400...one 500...one 750

thats thirteen and i'm sure i left ten out.....

Occasionally your id needs a slap upside the head...get the ZX...

Sax (whazaaap), In Illinois, you have three business days to back out of the deal, for any reason.
I exercised that right one time when I bought a used car that turned out to have some ugly surprises.

Basically an abused rat. He paid 4k for it from a dealer and it was seriously hacked on by butchers. They tried to polish the covers and all I see is grooves like they used a da to sand it down. But he spent even more money on it like about 3 grand and then the electrical fried out on him so he got it fixed and decided to look at new. In his case I think he would be better off with a new bike but he said he is keeping the old bike to tool around on.

I'm golden and thanks. I call the girl who sold me my first new car and she told me this morning. She said that customers do that to them all of the time and she said that if I rode it off the lot that day I purchased it then I would have owned it but since it was raining like kingdom come I couldn't.
Believe me I want that bike and I could probably hang it no prob butttttt this would mean my 79 would stay forever in pieces. No way I could do that. First the bike gets a proper build and second I buy a crazy new bike.
