New KZ guy from Nebraska.
15 Aug 2009 19:34
Hello, I have just joined this site as I have always loved KZ's and own 2 now.
I have an 82 750 GPZ and a 95 Kz1000P. I ride the police bike a lot more as it seems to fit me better, and is more of a comfortable ride.
I am old enough to remember when kz900 was the king of the street, and I owned a 78 kz650 SR and then a 1980 kz750 LTD which I bought new.
In about 1985 I swore off bikes, sold my 750, and didn't return until last year.
I was not interested in the street cruiser V-twin style, and found myself wanting what I always loved and that was KZ.

I was in Louisville a couple of weeks ago on my 1000P, visiting one of my buddies. It was the same day that a big poker run was in town. Louisville is becoming a destination for cruisers and antique shoppers etc..
Thanks to all for the welcome words.
