Completely missed you posted that. Ive been on here several times, just didnt see the reply.

Working a lot. Sold the wifes car, she took my car, and I bought a cheap car, she hated driving my car due to its size, and the car I bought turned out to have a lot of issues, so I fixed the car, sold it, got my 2011 SHO back from the wife, and she bought a 2014 Focus hatchback, fully loaded titanium model. Same paint code as my SHO, tuxedo black.

Turbo ZX-14 is still for sale. I have it posted in several places at my winter bottom dollar of $9,000

I have been working 40-50 hours a week, so the job front is going great. Been trying to pay everything off, catch up, and actually save some money as well.

On that note, Im probably buying another bike this week. Been talking to a dealer for several weeks now, and we hes came WAY down on his asking price on a new 2013 White ZX-14R. So for awhile, I will just be making payments on the 2013 until the 2007 sells. Who knows, if I still have the turbo 07 in several months, and Im still fine with making payments, maybe ill convince the wife to let me keep both. That would be amazing. So we will just play that one by ear.

Another side note, up above I mentioned I was 375lbs, and was down to 350lbs, I am currently down to 318lbs. I'm trying to hit 100lbs of weight loss by my Bday, which is May 27th. Over half way there. :D

I did look at a 2012 ZX-10, even Ninja 1000's and Z1000's, but I spend so much time on the highway, I dont think id be happy with a ZX-10 until I finally got to the twisties, then id love it. The Ninja 1000 feels extremely comfortable, but I only like the newer ones, and at almost 10k, I dont a single thing it does better than a ZX-14R. For about 10-12grand, I just cant seem to find a bike I will like better, maybe better in one particular area, but not overall. Yes a ZX-10 would be better in twisties, but getting there would suck(in my eyes). Yes the Ninja 1000 is probably a "hair" more comfortable, but its half the Hp. When my 07 14 was setup for back roading, Im sure we can all agree, its not the bike thats slowing me down, its my riding skills. Im good, but im not MotoGp good. So with the 2013 ZX-14R, ill move my bar risers and drop pegs from the 07 over to it, probably wait until spring when im closer to my goal weight and have the bike resprung for my weight. Put some good tires on it, and rack up so many miles this year it will be crazy. lol

So the bike ended up being sold to a buddy of mine, over the last couple years, I dont think hes put 1000 miles on it. And its now back up for sale for like $9500

If somebody is interested, you can email me at Kolk1@yahoo.com or search the St Louis Craigslist post for it.
