So riding Dec 8th on Boulder with my buds, and the old 800 ZX Highmark (not stock). The old sled still hauls the mail and it is nothing but an annoyance to them:
R. Micku: "I got Bikeman stage 1 kit, head, belt drive, Easy-Ride skid and 174x3 tracks. I lay down a wicked line, and that STUPID OLD ZX follows right behind!!"
K. Micku: "Man that STUPID OLD ZX still goes! I can't believe it!"
C. Micku: (Yes, THE C. Micku!) "So you got all these turbo jocks sitting at the bottom of super bowl, they've got new e-tec turbos to oogle over, and all they will be talking about tonight is that STUPID OLD ZX!!!"
Of course, later in the day, the old 800 spit a wristpin bearing. She got a helicopter ride out. C. Micku says "Of course it broke! You were riding that old thing like a rented mule, and it just said 'I quit!!!" But I don't think I've heard the phrase "stupid old zx" more times in my life! Too funny!
These days I do most of my riding on a 2012 XP with a few mods. But I will pull out the stupid old ZX once in a while for kicks (and when I'm feeling like fixing something... )and to remind me that while the new technology is miles ahead of the ZX in many ways, in some ways the old stuff still has it where it counts, LOL!
