Greetings from The Netherlands!

Hi Guys!

After some difficulties I finally managed to register to your forum. There is this 'Register' button on the main page and it definetly doesnt work. So I was kind of bummed out about that and i sent an e-mail to the admin but haven't got a reply yet. Though stubborn as I am I tried the Login button and hey! Another Register button, Let's see if that works! YES!!

Little info about me:

Name: Boudewijn
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Country: The Netherlands
Current bikes: 1983 KZ200 and a 1993 Jawa 640 (350cc 2cylinder 2stroke)

Previous bikes: 1983 KZ250C, 1993 Suzuki GS500E, another Jawa 640 which I sorta turned into a 634 model, 1986 Suzuki GSXR-1100, 1996 Yamaha XTZ 750 super ténéré, 1991 Aprilia AF1 125 Futura

So why do I want to join this forum? Well, pretty obvious I guess.. I recently bought a KZ200. My first bike was a KZ250C but at the time I did not have the knolegde and/or experience to appreciate a little bike. Now, 7 years later, I stumbled on a KZ200 and I just fell in love.

So I'm here to hopefully find awnsers to my questions, read some of your interresting stories and just hope to find a happy bunch of people with an interrest for cool bikes.


Also, English is (as you might have noticed) not my first language so there will be some grammar faults.


Anyway that's it for now. If anybody has any questions I will be happy to reply.

Sorry about the registration issues. Have no idea why the register button all of a sudden wouldn't work, but I've fixed it now. Welcome to KZr! Always nice to see fellow Europeans join the community. We're a bit out-numbered around here... ;-)

Thanks Boudewijn for the additional pictures.
Feel free to add more throughout the season.
I hear flowers are coming up over there.
Still too much snow here.
