Back on the road

Hello every one, my name is Daniel and I just got myself a little 76 KZ400. I've been riding for 15 years but most of my seat time has been off road. The little time I have spent on the road has been on 70's sportsters and a 90 CB1.
Too much time at my buddy's garage got me interested in getting back on the road. I figured I would start small and get something bigger next fall. I was somewhat suprised at the feel of the little guy after my first ride. Good power for a 400, and handles well for a smaller bike. I havent had a chance to take it up to highways speeds but thats not really my intention. For anyone in KC, my daily drive takes me strait down Shawnee Mission Parkway, to Ward then on to UMKC. Starts hard, but it has been sitting for a year and it has several small oil leaks from every possible place. The cam tensioner is dumping oil out badly. I have had some issues locating parts for the carborators but I'll save that for another post.
