Hello from tucson
30 Sep 2012 03:06
Hi all, just saying high. just picked up my first street bike a 1979 kz400b2. Should be alot of fun since my last bike was a 85 kx80 over 12 years ago. I cant wait to learn all about these great bikes. If there is anyone in the tucson area that needs an extra pair of hands hit me up. I dont have any experience yet working on bikes but i have been working on older stand up jet skies and i can turn a wrench.
thanks Mike
thanks Mike

Welcome!
Several of us make our way down to Tucson occasionally to ride Mt. Lemmon and just hang out in town for the day. Tucson is kind of... interesting.
Go to meetup.com and you will find several local groups down there.
Best of luck and happy riding!
