Noob from Texas

Hello from Dickinson Texas. I just got me a 1980 ltd 1000 that has been in a barn for 25 years for 100 bucks. Its in pretty rough shape but all there. I'll be chewing on this for a while. I ride a 07 Nomad but in the 80's I had a 76 Z1 900 but it died a terrible death.I'll post some pics when I get my card reader working.

Welcome to KZR. I live just up I45 from you in Spring. Barn finds are the best.

Care to detail how your Z1 died?

A friend slid into a curb and cracked the casing. He put a new (used) motor on it but it wasnt never the same. I wish I had some pics of it but back then when your in your 20's pics dont come to mind.
