Sold and bought again
11/21/22 4:59 PM

Lost my mind a couple of months ago and sold my 2018 zx14r. Right after I regretted it. I bought a Triumph rocket 3 touring which I really like but just not the same. Found my bike in texas bought it and went and brought it back home. Bike had a couple new scratches and dings I guess from transportation. Was dropped on her right side glad I put the frame sliders on. I did not notice it until the bike was out in the sun yesterday and seen the scratches on the lower fairing and slightly on the frame slider. Already did touch up paint and you can hardly tell. They were really nice to do a oil change for me and stripped out the oil drain plug. Next morning noticed fresh oil dripping on the garage floor. Fixed that already also. only other thing is they loosened my chain, I keep it at book 1-1.2 inches slack. I see a lot of chains on videos visibly much more than that. Tightened her back up to spec. Anyway my baby back home and paid for due to me selling my truck. My wife went along with all of this unbelievable I have a good wife and now 3 bikes in the garage (bikes in garage not wife), zx not going anywhere again, Its really hard on it.

After parking the 14 for most of the summer, started riding a 1991 V4 ST1100 until today in fact. So to change bikes and the instant handling change and torque difference, WOT were you thinking!

oh, and the wife... she's a KEEPER!
