New member here, been riding bikes since i was 4yrs old - Got my 1st streetbike (a 1000 Hurricane) when i was 16 but didn't get a KZ (a 75 model Z1) until i was in my 20s - I still got it but it's been 10yrs or so since i rode it - This winter I'm gonna get it going so i can be back on the road next summer! - I've got a NOS set of 29 smoothbores, some mild cams & a 1015cc piston kit waiting to be installed - If any of you guys are around the Lake Lure area let me know, i need some help!

Good luck with your bike refresh! Lake Lure is about 4 hours from me (Raleigh area), not sure how much help I'd be either. But who knows, I might get bored this winter.

Welcome.
Got all those in your stable? Nice line up.
Bet you have lots of nice backroads in your way.
Leaves turning color? I'll go to Asheville this week.
Got pictures?

Other than a few vintage MX bikes that's what i got now - I had a several more & sold em' off over the years, about the only one i really regret was a 82 ELR, it had a Luther Biggs built bigblock motor that was extremely strong (EZ 4th gear wheelies!) - Considering todays prices it's doubtful if I'll buy any more :(

Vintage MX? Whatya got? I've got an older suzuki, doesn't quite reach the vintage class, but it's a classic nevertheless. I live in Swannanoa outside of Asheville so I'm not far away, I know a little bit about these things so you're welcome to holler my way if you need to.

Welcome to the forum, I just recently got back on as I've not been on for almost two years, but I'm getting my bike back.
