Welcome cdvanns!
I am also from East Tennessee, Bristol area to be exact. I just recently picked up a 1980 KZ1300 Touring. Right now it at CAPS getting tuned up and some minor work done. I should have it back home this Tuesday (11/10/09). Boy I can't wait to see the bill on this one! I usually do my own work but not being too familiar with the Kawasaki, I left it to Keith at CAPS to get in riding condition. Paint and other work I'll do myself this winter. I'm getting ready to post some pics of the KZ I took when I first brought it home.
Maybe we can get together along with some others here in KZRIDER and hold a ride somewhere soon. - unomike
