Newbie in central KS - '80 KZ750G twin

Hi all! I'm John, just got an '80 KZ750G. This is my first bike, it's not running yet but I hope to have it up and riding daily soon! I'm 22 years old and have ridden a few hours on my Grandpa's bikes (he's had many through the years, right now a Suzuki Cavalcade 1100, an '86 Honda Shadow 1100, and an '82 Yamaha XJ750 Seca). Never worked much on motorcycles, but I can turn a wrench.

Thanks for having me! I'll be posting "before" pics soon.

Hi, John. Welcome aboard!

I saw from the CL/eBay thread that you bought the one from Abilene. Good for you! Another inductee into the Sunflower Chapter of KZR. ;)

Hello, Ironleg.

You're not far from Rich or myself. I hope my neighbor gets his 750E1 back in running order this summer as we'd like to make a trip to Cassoday yet this year.
