I owned a 1200 Waveblaster and the motor blew- hole in the case and knocked the starter off its mount- pretty much a lost cause. Woulda cost me $4000 to fix. I found out, and went to the Kawasaki dealer that afternoon and bought my SXR, since I couldn't bear the idea of not riding for even one day. Daytona 2007, I blew out my back on Thursday- could not move at all. On Saturday I slid out of bed, popped 5 Advil and one muscle relaxer and drove to Daytona, in sheer agony all the way.
Once in the water and 5 more Advil and one Skelaxin later, I rode until Reed (Wahoo1) towed my busted back and ski to shore. I then drove back that evening in sheer agony again, but with a semi-smile on my face.
Every time I go on vacation, I want to bring the ski but my wife swears I'm being ridiculous. I am going to Sapphire NC in June, and I WILL be bringing the ski. Oh yes....I will be bringing it.
Blowsion, XH2o and "the other site" are the only ones on my favorites menu.
I want to trade my $35k 350Z in to buy a "beater" pickup truck so when I get my Superjet, I can throw the SJ in the bed when I tow the SXR. Again, my wife is ready to have me committed.
I am a relative noob when it comes to standups (been riding only 5 months), but I can't stop man....jetskis are my meth....
