Ram, I'll let you ride this thing when we hook up for the relay. For what's in it i'ts the nastiest 1075 I've ever rode. Top end was purpose done for nitrous and it seems to work really well even without the spray. What I should really do is leave this thing alone and start either on the turbo or the 75Z1 but we are back on the house again and those 2 projects deserve more attention than I could possibly give them.

Had a chance to hook up with Ram and do some riding, turned out to be a great day! Not many miles but a good time none the less. Big thing is we managed to work up a game plan for running the 19" front wheel with the ZX forks. Mocked up the fork/wheel assembly and got most of the spacers made. Worked out pretty slick!
Some pics after we finished our day.

We had a great time as well, look forward to doing it again, only some better roads where the local work release program of stoners aren't doing the paving! :woohoo: Maybe I can get the girlfriend to go with me next time. Can't wait to see some of the other pics you guys took, maybe some Trudy took while on the road. :whistle:

Dave, I was really looking forward to meeting you and getting some good pics of that turbo! Maybe next year. I tried my best to represent KZR the best I could. I rode everywhere I thought I could wearing my KZR shirt hoping to meet fellow members, only met one, I would have hoped we would have been out in more force but such was not the case. :( To be honest, I rode up to the show area with no intentions of showing but was coaxed by outsiders to do so, really glad they did. It's a great feeling to finish well, even better knowing we were against trailer queens!

Les

Anybody thinks this is a trailer queen, come and ride with me! I'll beat on this thing in even the roughest conditions, with a passenger now. I live on gravel, a mile from pavement, and I make a point to find an excuse to ride it every day!

I think we only saw 3 H2's and can't recall a green on but that's not to say I just didn't reconize it as an H2. There were a lot of the S3's, "400 triples". The gentleman I met was from southern Ohio, rides an Ltd 440 belt drive, sorry the name escapes me. We're definitely going next year, may even set up a booth.
