I'm here to learn!

Hi everyone,

I'm not yet an owner but I wanted to join this forum to learn as much as possible to help me make an informed decision to buy a good one. 
I'll be asking for you guys opinions before I buy one, if that's OK?
I've loved these bikes since I was a teen but couldn't afford one at the time. I had a family young which knocked it all on the head.
NOW IT'S MY TIME!!
I'm 58 now and NEED one!!!
Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from you.

Mark

Welcome to the fun!   That's a novel idea, doing your research before you buy. 
You'll find we have lots of opinions, sometimes we even agree, haha.  Seriously,  there's a lot of knowledge and experience here on KZR to help you.

( checks notes...)
    We always thought it near-impossible to be infected with The Dreaded Z-Bug unless one had already acquired a Z-bike.
   Perhaps you've been in the immediate proximity of someone so inflicted?  If so, do they attempt to self-medicate by applying more & more Z-Bikes and Z-stuff?
   If you've been in close contact with anyone who matches that description, well...,

Welcome to the forum. I feel that we all come here to learn that which we do not know, share that which we do or at least think we do know and to share in the fellowship of owning and maintaining older machines. This is a great place to exchange knowledge and learn that we do not yet know.
