New KZ 750 owner from Kansas
03 Aug 2012 13:56
Hey guys, just recently purchased a 1977 KZ750 from my father in law. It has 7900 original miles. The bike runs great. Its just been aged by the sun. I look forward to getting to know some people on this forum site and to learn some things.

Welcome from another Sunflower state resident. Whereabouts are you?
It looks like you have a good base to start from. It should clean up quite nicely.

I'm in Marysville. If you see a little house icon under the member's post count, you can hover the mouse pointer over it and a pop-up will show what that member has entered for a location in their profile.
I believe there is at least one member in the Hays area although I can't think if his username right now.

Welcome to KZR!
And nice find you've got there.
Only 7900 miles too.
She's barely broken in.
