did you get a 2012 zx14? I guess it's a beast!

yeah i wouldnt be a problem
just dont get any ideas bout sleeping with one of my bikes

haha, I would pick that young busty 14, err, scratch that!

Vic Toews wouldn't like that! lol

Nothing like a bit of Vic Toews bashing, I like it!

My kz has pros and cons in the comfort area. it has an uncomfortable zrx seat and rearsets, but with a 1200cc motor i have to stop a lot for gas anyways. lol :laugh:

I can only imagine the fuel economy!

When I did the mild work on my KZ (just some cams, pods and carb richening) I got more power of course, but I had to fill up way more. I went to the CVMG meet in milton from my place at the time in Camden East (north of Napanee), I had to fill up at the ultramar in Cobourg, then again in pickering, and then got to milton on fumes. This was travelling at 140 with a zx6, coming back I hung back to save on gas money (120km/h) and actually made it from milton to port hope before filling up, and then made it all the way home from there. I guess you godda pay the cost to be the boss though!

My KLR650 OTOH got me from Camden East to the Paris swap meet on one tank It again OTOH is really slow on the highway, with my current gearing and my 315 pounds hiding behind the fairing I can get to 145 km/h


Anyways, we will figure it out when the time comes! I can't wait

I hate to ask but can you stuff me in between ramtough and koolaid? Talked it over with the little woman and were going to keep this bike so I'll definitely have one to ride. I'm flexible on time and route so any way will work.
Thanks

Les

sure.
i dont see your name on the map yet. where do u live ?

North of terra haute about 45 miles and west of Indy about 50 Miles. Kingman is the town we live closest to. Were only 10 to 15 minutes from turkey run state park. Some pretty good riding around that area.

Thanks Mark

- rstnick - Sutton
- M357.5 - Owen Sound
- Jack - London

North Bay is a bit of a haul, although we'd meet up half way somewhere.
Maybe some more KZ riders will join in in the area.
I've sent out messages to all the KZ owners in Ontario, some who are currently not members of KZR.

This is good for me! I can hop over the border and pickup from Cobura at either Buffalo NY/Niagara Falls NY, wherever best for him. Then (as mapped) bring it up to Drooz in Mississauga.

Good-2-Go!

Mark, probably can tie you into Koolaid Kids section easiest. Let me know how far you are comfortable riding as KK's section is to pick up the flag from Ramtough then take it to ANDY9802GT. You could take it from Ramtough then to KK possibly or buddy ride either or both sections of that part of the relay.

From Ramtough to KK is about what I figured also and maybe get in some buddy riding. I'm the johnny come late so I don't want to short them any if you know what I mean.

Thanks Rage

That would work great i want to see that bike up close Les. hopefully my son will be done with his ultra classic HD by then we can make group ride up that way


I saw on Craigs list they are having a Vintage japaneese and european bike show and swap meet in Lenenon on march 18th what have you heard about that? we may drive up for that
