My name is Buggdread. I have always wanted a bike but never really have the money to get a new one so I decided this year to look for a old bike I can fix myself. I saw this old bike on a yard for sale I stopped and asked some question about it. He told me it was a KZ900, I came back home and I started looking on the internet for some info about the bike
then I discovered this site and the different pics on how this bike can't be looking great after all the repairs and the modifications. I called the guy and told him I am coming to pick it up. I bought the bike for $800. no pics I will be getting some soon
