but looks like a nice start - always impressed with members who find KZ locally... I never find much in the SoCal area... maybe I don't get out enough?

I first thought your were prepping this KZ for the drags, but then it hit me, and I read Road Racing instead. I have 6 GPz550's, and made one into a track bike. If I could recommend a track day provider, if you haven't been on tack before, Zoom Zoom Trackdays is the one I completed this past Thanksgiving Weekend at Thunderhill Raceway, in Willows, CA.

Enough about my time... Zoom Zoom offered ample amount of instructors if you needed one, and loads of track time, allowing me to put 227 miles on the odometer that weekend, missing only 2 on track sessions. Had a blast. Track days are more expensive at Laguna Seca and Infineon, unlike Buttonwillow and Thunderhill.

What are you planning on riding/maybe racing in the future? Super Dinousaur in AFM? You live close to Laguna Seca I see.

cool stuff..i;m gonna read up in a second ..but first this is a test picture for showing someone how to post from photobucket....

i have a soft spot for the Vanson leathers. They were my first set - custom - in the 80s.

Still a great set of leather!

hmm... I haven't been on the track in about 3 years. Maybe we should do a Retro track day

How many here is the SoCal area interested?
