I released the inner demon in my 74 z1 900 today

I recall that feeling in 73 with my new Z1 & in 69 with my new CB750. If that thing scared you now for Gods sake dont try out a new Hayabusa, ZX14, or a big motor KZ

mtkawboy, it only scared me cause i wasnt expecting it. In the past the bike never ran perfect but now its got its old self back.

i dont know what a KZ1000 is supposed to feel like cuz ive never ridden one except mine which i pulled from a garage after sitting for 5 years, but mine does not sound like that! damn i need to figure this bike out

ive ridden every kind of sick ungoddly bike known to man from a 1428 turbo kaw to a busa with 2stages of juice and im here to tell you any of them can kill ya just as fast.the biggest differance being the busa and the zx-14 actually have the brakes and chassis to go with the power so they arent nearly as scary at high speeds as a pissed off z1 motor trying to twist its way out of a stock chassis while you are trying to point it down the road in a straight line!:laugh: thats just one of the reasons i get bored riding new sportbikes ,theyre too predictable!

It was just a joke guys, settle down. Everything is fast when its as fast as youve ever been before. Didnt mean to upset anyone's inner demons

no problem i decided years ago the only speedfreak i need to scare the hell out of is myself!:laugh:

Im 64, a retired lineman and been thru 2 divorces while biking & drinking. Ive scared myself sober a number of times. I no longer care to go that fast any more. Youre not drunk until youve puked in a full face helmet at 65 mph. Ruins a lacquer paint job !:silly:

i got bounced out of a dragboat at close to 100 mph,i dont mix alcohal and water anymore either!

Of course not, In the words of W.C. Fields you should never drink water, fish f@#k in it.:laugh:

I just rode my KZ900 the other day for the first time. It's been about 20 years or so since I've thrown a leg over a 900 and I had forgotten how hard they pull when you smack the gas. Too bad the tires are so old, it would have been nice to go for a longer ride on it without worrying about having a life ending blowout.

It's going to take awhile to get that mental picture out of my head!! :dry: :blink: :S :X :pinch:

A prime example of why I never wore a full face helmet....................:ohmy: chris3

No, you just need one that flips open. You can flip it open, lean over and puke, flip it down and keep going.....:blink:
