Love that colour! If I ever have money to blow, I've had that page from Z1 bookmarked for a couple of years. Hoping you have a speedy recovery.

Back in the saddle and loving it! KZ1000A1

I'll be waiting for you to finish, it looks great so far.

Good luck on the cancer crap, start going to the shop as soon as you can manage at least 5 minutes out there.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2015. I had a total of 45 regular 15 minute radiation treatments and 6 one hour Cyberknife treatments. That radiation knocked me down in the dirt. I went to the shop for 5 minutes every day and worked my way up. Now I am out here every day for 7 hours.

Take it one day at a time on the recovery.  And I agree, the RonnieV bike looks great.

Sorry to hear you had cancer but glad to know you're recovering.  That bike is a stunner1

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Thanks to all for the kind words.Like Kelly,I too had prostate cancer, but mine was a bit advanced so we opted to remove it. I just got results yesterday and was told it didn't spread to my lymph nodes.Hooray!!  KZ time is coming.
