Hello from rainy England!
03 Dec 2012 10:26
Hi there,
I have just joined the club. I am in the rainy UK on the south coast in a county called Dorset. I have always loved Kawasakis and have had 2 KZ550's. I came back to biking this year after a 12 year break and recently bought a KZ750 Ltd which I came across by chance in a dealers. It is a 1980 bike, and was in the USA until it was imported back here in December 1995. It's not in bad condition, neads a little TLC, got just 17,800 miles on the clock. The bike has been resprayed a sort of blue and the tank decals are missing, so next year I will respray her back to her original black. Oh and she's called Cally as I am a bit of a Blake's 7 fan (UK eighties sci fi show). Will post a picture if I manage to press the right buttons!

My great grandfather came from England and his name was Rainey. Imagine the implications! This is the place to be with a KBike! Enjoy!
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
