How do you ride your 14?
Hey Im just curious how most people ride a zx-14. Do you like to hit the curves and drag knee? Do you leave the curves alone and make every straightaway a dragstrip? Do you make every straightaway a wheelie contest? Do you just slow roll around looking clean on your lowered and stretched chrome machine? Or are you just tryin to get to work?

My answer would have to be yes to all of the above except one. I use mine to commute to work one or two days a week. I take mine to the drag strip occasionally. I love the twisties however I have never had a knee hit the ground. I enjoy riding around on a clean shiny bike even though it's not stretched or chromed. The only thing I don't do is ride wheelies. I prefer to be in control of my bike and not take any unnecessary risks. If I wanted a bike to ride wheelies I would buy a used 600 to play around on.

Amen Brother. I agree 100%. I do it all except wheelies myself. I have had a knee down though and tore up a good pair of gloves touching the ground in a curve. Didn't set out to do that but when I saw how close I was to the ground, I just had to touch it. I won't be stretching my swingarm, but I make it a priority to keep my baby clean and looking good.

Hey my friend, I suppose I ride pretty much like low cell. I do like to find the good backroad/service road area where I can let it rip as often as possible, but usually don't push it toooo much. I also like to practice some launches when I can. I wish I would get more suggestions from ya'll from my earlier thread with this question.

If I'm not on the back wheel, I'm on the front wheel. Or I'm dragging my knee or finding out what the top speed really is. I ride 150 mph through school zones, and I cut the muffler off completely. I race every bike I see, and lead the cops on a 40 mile high speed chase every weekend. I am the Ghost Riders' worst nightmare. I have twin turbos on my bike and I fill the tank with nitrous. It makes 1000 hp. you've heard of a 300 size rear tire, I have a 475. I ride with no helmet just shorts and a t shirt.

For your sake I hope you wear some nice, high quality protective flip flops when you're out stuntin'.
