My brothers 01 7r. Used to be kawi green. Bought it an insurance auction I believe. Used to be green of course. He did all the painting himself. It was supposed to be kawasaki's color called blazing orange off of their new z1000 at the time. It didnt match that good. We called it the macaroni bike haha. He put some pearle in it. It looked way better in the sunlight. Had custom chrome decals made. Polished part of the rims too. Had a D&D slip on. Man that thing was so damn loud! You could hear him on the highway which is a few miles away from our house.

 

I'd own that macaroni too but without the D&D. Add some pepper green to it and let it zing. hahaha

 

I've been ridin since I was 16 and I am now 43......well, I thought I'd been riding. My knees usually have a foot between them and the asphalt?

 

It is all in your comfort zone. No big deal on the knee thing. just stay in the comfort zone and no matter what you ride, it proves to be a positive experience. I would not try that same above on my KZ1000 or the HD. The name of the game is being comfy and enjoy the ride, not a knee down. I am just having withdrawals on the track time at the moment is why the above posts.

 

I save my "knee down" excersizes for the track. Everyday streets are so unpredictable, espeically around here cause sand is used alot here in the winter and when spring is here, sand is still around a little bit. If yer puttin yer knee down at the track, yer doin very good. Even scraping a peg is good. Did that a few times at the track hehe
