New rider on a zx-14!

[4drstunner]

A kid at my work has been saying how hes gonna get a bike. So hes asked me a few times what bike to get and so on. I told him to start small and learn. Espically since hes about 5'8" 155. Well what does he come to work with today? A brand new zx-14!!!!! WTF So much for starting small. Hes never ever been on a bike and is already talking about how hes gonna smoke this guy and that guy. Man i hope his dumb a** doesnt go down. Sorry just venting.



Ps On a side note.......Should I give him his first beating cause hes dying to race me? Or is that encouraging him to race it?

[Munky]

Stay clear of that dumbass for a while so he doesn't wind up taking you down with him. Cause you know its bound to happen.

[xEJ20x]

I give him a month til he dumps the bike.

But race him at Atco....that way they'll have the EMT there already.

Good idea George!

[77F-150]

Kids.

[Vypurr]

How the hell is he going to ride that thing??? He has never rode a bike before??? wow

[Ender81]

Don't encourage him, all joking aside he's going to take someone out with him and that's just plain sad.

[supraghost]

race him... its good riddance anyhow. im ****in tired of squids

[Dave]

how ****ing stupid can you be? seriously? at least if he went with the busa he'd have the excuse of C mode but a 14?

[4drstunner]

Thats kinda what I was thinking. He doesnt wanna do it from a start till he breaks in his bike. Which the start would be my advantage. But I might do it from a roll anyways just to prove a point.

[teh DIRT]

does this said kid goto tech school also?

[4drstunner]

does this said kid goto tech school also?


Not that Im aware of but I could be wrong. He lives in South jersey.

[420sx]

Tell him to invest in a nice life insurance policy.

His family will be glad he did.

[93EGY8]

dont ****ing race the kid yet because hes gonna hammer on the bike off the line, and its gonna spin the rear tire like all busa's and zx14's do and hes gonna lose it and die..lol..so dont race him yet

[Renegade_]

I can see him mashing the throttle down and flying off. Does he even know how to hold on?

[xEJ20x]

When you do race him and he kills himself, bring a knife.
That way you can take his kidney and sell it for a few thousand on the black market.

Then buy a Camaro. :mrgreen:

[Signatus230]

Oh ****, lol. a 14... wow. Those things aren't exactly cheap either. Aside from that, yea, he is an idiot. Plain. I mean a 600 for a starter bike on a FIRST TIME bike is pushing it for me... did he take the MSF?

[blkZ06]

Squid + ZX14 = Disaster

Odds are its gonna end up in the dustbin, theres a slim chance hell come out of it ok but judging his personality from what youve said id lean towards wipeout. My first bike was a 2005 R1 Raven Edition, I daily drove it and put almost 8000miles on it without a single incident it all comes down to respect for learning the bike. Ill put money on his wreck being him not knowing his braking distance, hell get down out on and get way over extended and run into something or lock them up and dump it.

[driftingrx5.7]

WOW i have been riding for 10 years and i don't even want to even get on a zx14! don't race him!!!

[hatchRus]

Wow! A zx-14 for a first bike!! I would like to know why did the salesmen sell him the bike?

[Renegade_]

Wow! A zx-14 for a first bike!! I would like to know why did the salesmen sell him the bike?
Cause money is money

[4drstunner]

Cause money is money

The sad truth but the truth! Most salesman dont give a f***!


We rode together yesterday for about 2 hours. Hes not as bad on a bike as I thought he would be but hes still gonna go down. (I hope not)

[Ender81]

Yeah a lot of them don't care. I hit a Yamaha dealership out on Airport rd. in allentown and the salesman was awesome with showing what would be good and what wouldn't. Then he told me he teaches the state safety courses so it kind of clicked lol.

[4drstunner]

Well I dont have to worry about racing him anytime soon. He got pulled over for 119 in a 50 zone on rt38! He also recieved a additional 4 tickets. Hes looking at 19 points! :roll: Ouch

He was on a bike and he actually stopped?


:rofl:

[420sx]

Yeah, right? Who stops on a bike?

Ive been pulled over on my bike before, but if i was doing 119 at the time, theres no way i woulda stopped. :lol:

[OMGz Turbo]

....man over a 100 on a bike i would have just pegged it...but hes probably being a little bitch being hes still new to the bike

[420sx]

Thats probably the BEST case scenario though. 19 points, hes gonna lose his lisence. That means he cant ride. That means his cant kill himself.

[OMGz Turbo]

So ugh ask him how much he wants to sell it for. I can add another bike in the garage... :wiggle::wiggle::wiggle:

[420sx]

The only use I could have for a ZX14 is the motor... shifter cart. :D

Id kill myself with that motor on two wheels.

[OMGz Turbo]

i rode my friends turbo busa the other night. his bike is rediculous on 8psi its scary fast, and he said its going back for a few more pounds of boostjuice

Yeah thats crazy fast. Im sure I *COULD* handle the power, but i know if I had that much id ride everywhere WOT. Eventually i'd probably write a check my ass couldnt cash.

Aaaand thats why I have an SV650. :lol:

[4drstunner]

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Problem for him is hes a cdl driver and is def gonna lose his job if he gets these tickets.

[420sx]

Life > Job.

Hes probably better off without a lisence.

[blkZ06]

he probably would have killed himself trying to get away from the cop

[driftingrx5.7]

all jokes aside i really hope they take his lic! he doesn't need to be going that fast on a bike being that he is so new! good job on not racing him

Yeah dude, my first bike is a Yamaha FZ6, and that's plenty of power for me, by showing up with a bike like that it's not even cool, that's just purely unsafe... U should take the ZX from him and break it in for him :supz:

[05OCsrt-4]

lol, that ticket thing is great, if he would've just stayed cruising at his 119 MPH he would've been fine because they don't chase you after a certain speed, but seriously i used to pass cops going 80 and they never even moved, he must have got the pissed off cop. but atleast he's safe

[Tyler]

yeah he might die. even starting out on a r6 or cbr6 is dangerous but almost double that is a death sentence

[gpzjack]

His parents better make sure his life ins is paid up. I love these idiots.
