Hey Gang! I've been a sometime visitor for awhile now and thought I'd better join up! :)

My KZ has shown up in a couple of posts (thanks Rob and Steve! :laugh: ) but I'll share one of my favorite pics of it.





I've owned it since it was new in '77! It's been a love affair that really began when I first saw a pic of a Z1 "back in the day"!

The modifications have been many over the years, the most recent the ZX10R front end, wheels, brakes, etc. It's all Kawi and custom pieces! No Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, etc! :woohoo:

Nothin' against those brands, I just decided to keep this one in the Family! ;)

Like some "others" around these parts, I'm into Triples too! I've got a H2 Project on the go and a bunch of other triple bits and pieces that might end up turning into "something" some day!

Great site folks! I expect I'll be hangin' around a lot! :kiss:

I love your bike, and I must ask one question. Where did your headlight come from, and do you like it? OK sorry, I guess that's two questions.

Welcome Drew.
It's about time you signed up.

Where did your headlight come from, and do you like it?

I can tell you from riding with Drew (Drooz) that you don't want him behind you or you'll get blinded by the lights.
:laugh: Actually I think you did something to calm them a bit didn't you?

that bike is so pretty that if I was there, where ever that might be, I'd hug it


I've been tempted to hug it as well. :silly:
She is an awesome bike.

Some pictures I've taken of her:
