Hi from New Jersey

22 Apr 2008 22:53

I just finished bringing an abandoned KZ400 back from the dead. It is a great bike and runs very well. It took me most of a year to get it to this point, including a lot of time prying a title out of the State of New Jersey.
I am getting used to riding again after more years than I would like to say. I am hoping to use the bike to commute to work soon.

Welcome to the forum. Yeah what part of Jersey? My wife is a Jersey girl from So. Plainfield. We go to the shore in So. Seaside Park every summer, the last town you pass through going to Island Beach State Park. Meet you at Bum Rogers for a beer in August?

Welcome!

That's a very clean looking 400 and should serve you well.

OK! Look for me! Actually I would like to meet anyone from Jersey if you don't mind driving to Seaside Heights; we can kill some brews up on the boardwalk, I'll buy the first round.

That's identical (right down to the sissy bar) to the KZ 400 I have sitting in my garage in North Jersey. Wish I could get my butt in gear making it run again.
