Hi from Virginia
06 Sep 2015 10:00
In all my questioning newbness, I completely forgot to post and mention I'm not a bot.
I'm located in Richmond VA, my bike is an '82 gpz750, and I like long walks on the beach.
I've been riding since I was 8 years old and this is my first kawasaki since the late 80s when I had a 220 atv. I've wanted a kz since I was very young and this bike is pretty cherry.
I'm quite happy to be here. Thanks for having me.

It will stay stock. I don't say that to disparage mods. If that's what you like, I think it's just fine. For me, I enjoy the bike as kawasaki meant it. It has pods with a jet kit, upgraded fuses and that's all. Stock all the way and it will remain that way.
Ive been getting help with a charging issue on here so I'm already using the resources. I love it.
