Hey Guys, Just wanted to say Hello. I just bought my first motorcycle and it is a 1978 Kawasaki KZ750. Looking forward to chatting with you all and getting to learn more about this bike and the Kawasaki community....

Hello, TJ, and WELCOME to KZr! :cheer:

If not already done, would highly recommend taking a motorcycle rider safety course.

Good Fortune! :)

EXACTLY what I was going to say. In my opinion, this course should be strictly mandatory for anyone applying for a motorcycle permit or license. Definitely check it out.

Always wear a helmet, gloves and a jacket. Keep your head on a swivel, expect that 100% of everyone does not see you, check your mirrors religiously, don't flip off cagers if they don't see you (they are bigger than you in their cars), don't ride in California, and remember there are 2 types of riders: those who have crashed and those who will.

That being said, enjoy the hell out of yourself too!
