New KZ owner from St. Louis, MO

Well technically I'm from just across the river in Maryville, IL. I just picked up a very clean '82 kz440LTD Belt and I can't wait for the nice weather to get here.

I was linked to this site from kz400.com. Someone over there mentioned the Relay Ride and I had to come check it out. I hope you all hit your goal. If any help is needed in the St. Louis area, let me know. I already posted on the facebook page and in the thread for Leg #3.

Love the bike! Looks like a clean classic. It is my understandijng the relay is open to anyone with a KZ or to ride along with someone that has a KZ. I would think that means you qualify. Welcome to KZR!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. The bike definitely needs some polishing but it is pretty clean for its age. The PO took very good care of it. He owned it since it was new.

Moving south sounds better everyday. This midwest weather is killing me. It was 70 degrees yesterday and I'm watching snow fall today lol.
