New ZX-14 forum member

Hello. My name is <Buckwheat> and I've been riding Kawasaki ZX 14's for 1 week. I first knew I had a problem when in 1987 I purchased a 1986 Ninja 1000R. I am looking for a support group to help me get through this addiction. Thank you.

Hi Buckwheat. You've taken an important 1st step in admitting you have a problem. We will do all we can to make it worse

Yeah, none of us really know much about bikes other than we all have one in the garage. We just hang out here to talk about booze and boobs.

OK, then how much horsepower does chrome add to these bikes...after a couple shots of tequila and 6-pak of Bohemia?

Come on man, simple physics here (duh)
For every lb of chrome added= 4.62 hp
For every lb of chrome + 6oz of Tequila consumed= 7.29 hp gain.
This is 'bikes' 101 man, you new?
