Long story short.

Sold my ZX14 to a mate some time ago, thought I was over it.

Mate brings 14 back, me changes oil and filter, removes damaged right side fairing sent off for repair. So in the interium I have this damn Kawasaki sitting in my yard. Took it for a ride today and ......... Oh my.

Then I went to the shop the other day to get some parts, they had a minto ZX10 same as Gunners for a very good price. Gawd!

So where is the picture of the ZX-10R in your front yard? Don't leave us hangin man.

Wife=

Looked like this with an Akra pipe.....



Damn I just cant stop thinking about it!!!

I hate you Kawasaki!

Lots of things can turn a women off in the bedroom (let's be honest -- we're a fickle lot) but there are five things which stand head and shoulders above the rest. Five things which, when experienced firsthand, can end your evening before it's even started, if you know what I'm saying. Five things which no adult male should subject us to... and yet... so many of you do. These basic no-no's are far from being a complete list, but they'll do in terms of basic ed.



Over Eagerness
Be as eager as you like -- but please don't let it show. Doing so makes us feel more like a toy and less like a woman, and God knows there are plenty of toys out there, if that's your thing. Some measure of restraint, please; at least until we're on the same page.

Groping
Oxford describes the act of groping as such: "feel about or search blindly or uncertainly with the hands". That's a fairly unsexy definition, don't you think? Well, that's pretty much on par with how unsexy it feels to be the gropee. It's ok to be nervous, but, please, we don't want to feel like we're in the broom closet whilst you play 7 Minutes In Heaven.

Slobber
I've done several articles on kissing basics, including how to french kiss, but I really can't put enough emphasis on how important this skill is. You don't have to be an expert kisser, but please, no slobbering? We don't want to feel like we've just been slimed. Of course, there are other facets of kissing that should be considered as well -- but few are as off-putting as this one.

Poor Hygiene
No offense, but some of y'all just aren't clean enough. Pre-date hygiene is important! And standing in the shower for 30 minutes is a futile effort, unless you're actually going to suds your entire body up. And, if you want to kiss us, make sure your mouth is clean. Some of you just brush your teeth and think that's enough. Floss, for God's sake! Brush your tongue! And don't forget to clean the rest of you, while you're at it!

Selfishness
You can probably guess what I mean by this -- and yes, that's what I mean. But it's more than just that. It's also about paying attention to what she wants, what she's asking for, and what she's actually ready for. Getting your foot in the door is not a guarantee that you'll be spending the night; pay attention, or you stand a good chance of sleeping on the couch.

Just tell her its her new bike, not yours....

Rather have the 14 instead of the 10.

I'd rather have either.

But I do like that 10.

I did consider that.

You could just tell her that I said you need it... I'm sure she would be o.k. wiff dat!!

Whachoo gon do wiff tha Duc??

I'll tell her you ok'd it Mike.

Keep the Duck and the other. Thats the problem, she says I don't need 3 bikes. Makes all kinds of sense to me.

My gawd, she's gone mad!!

No wife problem for me...LOL I gots the empty pockets syndrome....

Eveybody needs 3 bikes son.

That's exactly what I keep telling my wife, but she keeps telling me two is enough... And then my night is ruined!!

Kiwi, man, do I know how you feel. For months I agonized over this 2008 all black ZX10R at my local dealer. I finally pulled the trigger and she's sitting in my freezing garage waiting for the first 45+ degree day. I missed my old 7R so much, I had to...she's gorgeous. Best purchase I've ever made. Bruce Wayne would be proud...

A happy ending.

I'll just keep working on it, wear her down. Buy her gold, take her to far away exotic places like Deals Gap.

Well, the way I did it...I upgraded her engagement ring first. Then, she had no choice. And neither did I.

Or, in your case, 2 bikes & a Buell...

OMG!! Surely there was another way!!

J/K!!

Man believe me I tried. Let's just say I gave back the $2K discount I got buying an '08 leftover, and then a lot more... I have to say, it's worth every penny. Did anyone else just stand in the garage staring at their brand new Kawi?

Coming from experience (and this is a common problem just ask anybody here) ... don't stand in the garage staring at the bike!!

This leads to further unexpected spending!!

Kiwi,

In addition to the gold and taking her to exotic places like Deals Gap, promise to buy her that quilt that she wants. That might seal the deal.
Yeah, that's the ticket!

Hope you make the rally again. The Chitown gang is looking forward to seeing you and Jazz again.

Terry

I'm pretty sure one of those quilts cost about the same as a 10.

I know I'm not alone saying this, but my 12 slept in my den for the first several months of it's life... So, no need to stand in the garage; the bike was right there watching TV with me!!

Heres how you do it....it just costs twice as much....One for me, one for her, one for me, one for here.....

The left half of this pic are mine, the right half are hers.

Fair enough then.

If only I had the space (and the money ) nice selection

Nice bikes!!

Ho-ly smokes....that's impressive!
