Greetings from the Catskills

Hi folks. New member here. Just picked up an 82 KZ1000 LTD. My 82 Oldwing and 89 KLR 650 were both down with electrical problems and I saw this on craigslist and couldn't resist. Advertized as "Barn Fresh... Guy said it was sitting for ten years. He bought it, drained the gas, put new gas and a battery in, and drove it home. I bought it. Checked the tire pressure, oil, and started riding it. Made it back and forth to work three times now without catching fire, blowing up, or any other mechanical weirdness. So far so good.
I've always wanted one of these. Kind of "the one that got away".... as my first road bike was almost a 76 KZ900. In a blinding flash of insight for an 18 year old, I realized that if I got that as my first road bike I probably wouldn't last the summer. So I bought a Suzuki GS 425 instead. But that old KZ has haunted my dreams for low these many years now.
So. I've finally got one. Now just have to figure out how to make it comfortable to ride. Glad to be here. Now, off to the technical forums......

Finally got to feel what you have been missing....These are a great motorcycle...sorta like the Energizer Bunny....just keep going!

Welcome aboard!! Now, about those pictures..... Ed
