Yeah me too, but it happens........and the rifle tied to the beam?
...case in point: jimmymac, why do you have an air impact wrench strapped to your garage door?...ballast?

Yeah me too, but it happens....Yeah, I bought the wrong garage door springs and needed 5 more pounds. It's been zip tied up there for 15 years now.

Oh yeah, If anyone thinks a Connie is quicker off the line, .... Never mind.

But not much out there is going to be quicker than a ZX14... off the line or in any way shape or formForgot to add: by a better than average rider . Not necessarily an expert now that traction control, anti-wheelie control, stability control, and even launch control is available, but you still need LOTS of practice to optimally launch one of those bikes hard. My Hayabusa didn't have any electronics, and it took A TON of practice to be able to launch it quick with consistency. That was my point: for the average rider rarely going over 6K rpm, they'd probably launch a Connie quicker. Later.
Me. Had an 03. Kick ass bike.
The Rifle hanging is a Daisy BB gun. Kinda fun to plink around when I'm bored. Probably hasn't been touched in 10 years though.
I'm quite the post ho' at ZZRBIKES.com. Still love riding with those guys, even though most of them have moved on the either the ZX14, or the Connie. We're just a bunch of speed freaks that love getting together and railing some twisty roads.
Sorry for the "jack." some threads were meant to be, I suppose. While I'm totally out of control, check out my bitchin' toolbox again.
Sorry guys, BTW, Smoky and the Bandit is my favorite movie.
I'll look into that, Tomp.Looks like folks online are charging to view it now. Bet it's on Netflix. I recorded it off the TV from Retro channel to DVR. Halsy/Redford is such an a**hole in this movie. They picked the right actor to play the part...
Best of luck, Tomp.Thanks, my previous company screwed me out of a 30 year career, so now I'm semi retired with SS benefits and hopefully as long as my pee test is ok, dam well better be, will be working 20 hrs a week at Home Depot, in sales. Figured I woild be with the other career for the next 5/6 years, but my old company saw to it that competitors wouldn't hire me, so they could keep my acct's to themselves. Very illegal, but hard to prove in a court of law.
... Unemployment really sucks, after 47 years of working every day. tp
ain't that the truth... similar situation, after moving out of pocket back to Ohio, to work for a "friend" and ex co engineer, so he could move into sales and i would assume his job, he ended up dumping me after 2-1/2 years because the company refused to advance him, therefore I wasn't going to be allowed to take his position...and I made too much money to be a "co-engineer"....Thanks. I'm almost 65, and at least was able to sign up for Social Security at a reduced rate. My best friend of 34 years, guaranteed me a good job with him, when I lost mine. I stayed on unemployment, that runs out tomorrow, but he never found "That Job" with his company as promised. With SS and part time work, I will earn half of what I was. No more going out to eat or farkles for my motorcycles. One has a dead battery, and it's gonna stay dead for the foreseeable future. This ain't what we signed up for all those decades ago. Never thought life would change so much in the later years..
friends... bahhhh, ain't no such thing as a friend who is your boss, (except when GBYII was my boss... )
ran out of unemployment, and dipping into retirement funds... Nobody wants to hire 60 year old people... even tho the really need them, and their acquired knowledge.
best of luck,
