Newbie from the West coast
12 Oct 2015 06:48
HEy there, Hows it going guys! Im a fairly new rider coming from the east coast. quickly fell in love with riding on accident. buddy was to trashed to ride so i had to take his bike while my buddy drove my car. Never noticed how free you feel on two wheels. Ive since gotten a bike and like messing with the back roads around here. Would love to meet more people in the bike community and hear some cool stories and find new areas/routes to hit!
Cheers

Too trashed to ride a bike so he drove a car? Are you trolling?

Welcome to KZRider Raw-B! What bike did you end up purchasing? Post a couple of pictures of it if can. Helps if you put your model information in your signature line. Saves from people having to ask each time. At least your buddy, or his friends, wisely took steps to keep from riding.

Welcome. Yes pics, need pics. :lol: I had a friend like that. I turned off his kill switch. He was too drunk to notice. Lights worked but it wouldn't start. :whistle:

As of right now, im still in the harley game.. My buddy does have an extra kz900 im helping him restore. We are in the works of it and talking about him letting it go to me. Price is in the air. But i really like the look of it! What would you say would be a solid price range to throw at it?.. its a 76 and overall as of right now i would say it stands at a 6-7/10.

Oh man, if that's 7 out of 10, I'd hate to see what 1 looks like. You've got your work cut out for sure. I'd say you're looking at $3000-$4000 minimum to get that rust bucket looking decent.
