Kawasaki Zero to Hero Challenge

pick me please :)

Yes, love to race :-O

I am an avid rider, never raced before but would love to give it a shot. I have a valid motorcycle license in the state of Georgia and would love the chance to be involved in this type opportunity.

I’ve ridden for several years. Fell in love with the ZX14 while attending MMI Kawasaki training. I have never raced legally, however I never miss an opportunity to take my zx14 to i ts upper limits. I do have a current motorcycle endorsement and valid drivers license. I would love the chance to attend Ricky’s school and to climb aboard a drag bike

Hi Guys!!! thanks for the note,at 13 years old i bought a 1974 h2 kaw. 500 triple it seemed pretty quick, .My dad watched me that summer doin 3 gear burn outs and wheelies up and down our street. after a while pop would take me to longer places to ride that were safer and not on public thorofares. which was nice because police would be called now and then because of some kid makin lots of noice with clouds of blue smoke up and down, street.my pop watched me most of the time and one day he asked me how it was runnin,i told him it seemed to be runnin outta power on the top end?About that time in a cycle book pops yoshimura had a hop up process chopin the jugs and heads portin raise an lower ports skirtin pistons opening transfer ports polishin and expansion chamber pipes. we did all we could on process. It got nasty then…. i liked it…neighbors hated it.pop had me go over to a church parkin lot one day asked me whats the difference between his bike operation an mine i said shifts on right rear brake on left compression release,and you put lightning cams 10.5 compression pistons two front heads 32mm, carbs fixed magneto adjusting plate removed manual thumb adjuster on handel bar.and im not sure but i think someone put benezene,acetone,methanol,avgas,and castor oil in the gas tank again.he said to me i hope you dont do no wheelies on this bike its geared for top end ,i rode it for the first that day.there is a long story with that pops gone now black shadow is in my home office one room over from my bed room.a few years back i did 2 1/2 years on a kaw, gpz 1100 fuel injected lowered, stretched ,lonnng wheelie bar,no down track locator,no rev limiter,no two step,no air shifter. we had some sponsers lake shore kawasaki,ridley electric,johnson garage. all throttle no bottle ,beatout clutch basket i had to hold front break to keep from breakin light beam an red lightin,times were up an down always 125 mph, 3 gears used 13.500 rpms over the light beam at the end of strip. i got lots of 503 reaction times outta the hole, i would like a race with ricky after he teaches me at school of his , i own a 2007 zx1400 i shed a tear when i found out she wont go over 200 with out a bunch of goodies she handels good an nice brakes tho i need a bit more rear braking . i only go fast on drag strips when i need the speed fix . do you guys supply bike i got to strap my front end down so damn tight i worrie bout all that stuff movin on me , ricky,s good imight need hard link instead of the shock if you could em sneak that in…….the back, thanks Guys,,i hope we get to talk……The Vincent Kid…..

Every body thinks they can go in a straight line fast,they think its easy, I would like to see them leave the line W.F.O. on a machine thats close to 200 horse power or better.In most cases done right , around 503 reaction time, for you that dont know what that means, a little more than one half of a second,And the next thing you know you have launched 60 feet in and around 1.3 seconds, of course you shift gears then, maybe in your mind you take time then to think,if it hooks up hard will i be sitting on the tarmac ,Tryin to ride a burn out sideways or maybe the perfect hole shot,,,,,not much to do i suppose,redline every gear,tryin to get as close to the second century mark ,,,,,,thats 200 M.P.H. laymens terms, in less time than it takes to pour your cup of coffee and sit down…Anyways I guess you wont understand what the magic is till they take your picture holdin the trophy next to the pit tootsies and that guy holdin your check.. or if you lucky enough ….perhaps….a new ZX 1400 R….hmmm.

I recieved this invite to get to race a legend of such. I have been interested in motorcycles and drag racing, since I was a child. I recently purchased the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R, I really enjoy the bike, along with the power that Kawasaki put into the bike. I really hope I get the chance to show Rickey Gadson how good of a rider I really am, give him a real good run for his money haha. I believe I would do a real good job and bring my new 2012 ZX14R home when its all said and done……..

Also I do have the Motorcycle Endorsement, legal Drivers License. I would really love this opportunity…. Thanks Team Kawasaki and all of those who support Kawasaki brand………
