Greetings. New to the forum but have been a Z1/KZ fan for 30+ years. I own a pair of '79 LTD 1000's. One is 90% original and the other is a converted S/G dragbike. I have been out of the hobby for a while but I would love to get back into it. I have forgotten so much! Thanks for having me.

These shots are a few years old but the bikes haven't changed much except for the ZX11 which has been lowered and stretched and had lots of pieces chromed.

Hey neighbor! Recognize the track I am racing at? I love the ride from Mayfield to Fulton on the P/P. Wide and smoooooth. Have been known to "let her roll" through the Bayou De Chien Bottoms on occasion. What you riding?

I ride a "77" 1000. It was a old drag bike from Tennessee.

I am at the work computer and can't pull up a pic.

There is a post "easy way to streach your bike" that has a pic.

Maybe you will reconize the bike. I bought it from a guy in Hickman. Roy
