Hey guys!

I haven't checked the boards in a while, too bad we didn't get to participate in a trip last year. Lolo sure was a blast.

In other news...

Chantal (Chandita) sold her bandit last summer and got a Superhawk, she loves it.

Aaaand....I just sold my bandit yesterday.  :duh:  I directed the new owner to these boards, he lives in Portland. Still can't believe I parted with my B12. Will I regret it? Probably.

But, hopefully the ZX-14 I'm getting will lessen the sting a little.  :motorsmile:

Hope you all are doing well!

-Nick
Did you get that 14 yet? I wanna see pics. And I'd love to see a Ninja and a Superhawk on this ride.  :trustme:

The 14 is safely in my garage after a long, rainy trip over the passes from Bozeman to Spokane. The most precarious part was unloading the bike down a wet metal ramp in the driveway!

Still raining today. Once it clears up I'll snap some pics and post them up!

Nice looking bike Nick  :congrats:

I like the Red on Black colour scheme.

It's funny, I used to think that a 500 was a big bike (when I rode a 250), then a 600/650 was a big bike (when I rode a 500), and then a 750/800 was a big bike (when I rode a 600), but now that I'm on a 1050, I STILL think a 1400 is a big bike!! YIKES!!

Congrats on the new bike. You should have LOTS of reasons to make it out for some group rides this year.

I know what you're saying...I thought my Katana 750 was a lot of bike. I was initially intimidated by my Bandit 1200 and it's 101hp. The ZX has 190hp.

Ironically, it will probably slow me down for much of this season while I learn to handle the power and learn how to handle the bike.

Nice bike.  :congrats:
So I guess it is up to Paul and I and our beat 01's to hold up the bandit flag.  :motorsmile:

Let me know when the date is firmed up!

I was thinking about heading down to Toole, Utah for the World Superbike round... until I found out it would cost >$150 for a ticket and the hotel/motel situation is $90/night for a cheapie.

OK, it looks like summer is arriving next week. I've got the middle two weeks of August off (8/9-8/20), and was thinking about exploring NE Oregon. Been there before, but I think we missed a lot of the good roads. Thinking about a 4-5 day sorta thing...

Any chance you might be there on the weekend? Or is this a strictly mid-week trip?
