New member from Western New York
19 Jan 2016 14:40
Hi all, I currently live in western New York just west of Rochester but will soon be relocating to Hiawassee Georgia. I hope to hook up with other riders in that area and am pleased to see a new member from Blairsville which is just over the mountain. I am returning to riding after a 30 or so year break. Promised the wife I would wait for the kid to grow up before I started riding again. Picked up a KZ550A2 about 4 years ago and have been commuting to work and doing some weekend riding. I have used this site to help keep up with the maintenance and repairs and so far so good. Thanks for all the great information. Dana

Hi all, finally have relocated to Georgia. Bike needed new fork seals so while I had it apart I also installed progressive springs. Wow what a difference in the ride! The Cushman club is having a rally here and I took a 10 mile ride with some of them. Interesting bikes!
