New guy in Texas
14 Jul 2009 15:08
Hello...my name is Dan and I worked as a Kawasaki mechanic back in 1981-1985. Miss the bikes of that era. Recently stumbled on to a deal on a ZX750 Turbo and couldn't pass it up. So now, once again, I'm working on a Kawasaki again. I'm kining this so I may have to see if I can find some more of the bikes I use to ride back then. Always liked the KZ650, the early 80s GPZs and the ELR.

Welcome to KZR.
There are a few of us KZ nuts in Texas.
Would like to see enough of us to get a KZ ride together some time when the heat fades![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png)
