Hello from the Netherlands was created by The David
Hi everyone and greetings from the Netherlands!

I've been browsing through this forum for some time now, and it has been super helpful already so far!
Since the beginning of this year I am the proud owner of a Z440LTD from '82. This bike is my first Kawa, after already having owned 3 Hondas.
It was a bargain, sitting in someone's garage for almost 15 years without using it. So the first weeks I spend a lot of time and money on replacing the filters, oil etc. (the tires were still from the 90s!). It is a great bike to work on as everything is simple and accessible, and its also a joy to ride on it after all the improvements.

This summer, it took me all the way to and through the alps which was a great adventure! I will need some help and expertise from the forum, as there is always something to repair or improve, so I am looking forward to being involved!
