New to the site but you guys have already been helpful just from reading previous threads. I have a KZ1000 1978 model in great shape. I have only had to do some minor repairs to have my bike in the wind.I bought it back in March of 2011 (my first street bike) and I love it!

Howdy, Chris!

Nice bike - looks like I'd be hard-pressed to keep up with ya, but when you're ready to ride - drop me a line here.


We've got several days of cold rainy-ness ahead ... perfect for bike maintenance!

Thanks all for the compliments! I am lucky to have a mostly original bike including the pipes. I live in Lincoln County TN near the Giles county line. Would love to ride with some Local TN and even Ala folks.

Ed I would love to do some riding over y'alls way!!

Thats looks to be a nice clean survivor, Not many of those left out for the public to have. I'm no purist by any means but I'd have to tuck that one away for a resto. You need to pat yourself on the back for that purchase!
Oh, and welcome. B)
