I started riding in 2011.

My first bike was a 1980 kz440 ltd. It was running but had original 32 year old tires, bad brake master cylinder, one muffler baffle, and no air box.

I fixed it up by rebuilding the forks, new dunlops, new tachometer, new handle bar, new master cylinder, air pods, removed muffle baffle, dynojet kit, wrapped pipes, euro style grips and mirrors, and free saddle bags from my neighbor.





rode this bike for a year, received a lot of complements from Harley riders on the look and sound of the bike. was able to sell it quickly on craigslist for a good profit <-- this confirms my opinion that the KZ ltd is a beautiful thing.

my new bike is a KZ 750 ltd, I have been riding it for about a year but there was a lot of down time. this bike was purchased in non running condition but it was complete with airbox and mufflers.





I fixed this bike up with handle bars, aprila mirrors, rebuilt and painted the forks, zrx1200 shocks, z1 lowering links, custom turn signals





after I fixed the bike up to running condition I had an accident colliding with a deer at 55mph

Watch out for those other idiots
