Big bummer was created by riverroad
Well, I'm in Kansas city, but my bike ain't.
Test rode it Thursday in the rain. Everything was fine until I lost #4 cylinder. Limped home, did the diagnostics, and have figured out that the carb boot is broke.
Apparently, the vacuum leak that I had a month ago, then suddenly fixed itself came back to haunt me. So I'll be ordering some carb boots when I get home.
I drove the truck instead.
Made it to the HD plant. Test rode a Glide and a V-Rod.
V-Rod was OK, pretty quick, but the forward controls felt ridiculous. And I thought the Gixxer I rode last week felt ridiculous.
I really miss my KZ.
Gonna go try a Buell today, and Maybe a Dyna or something.
Good thing my bike broke at home and not halfway here.
Did I mention I REALLY MISS MY KZ??

Go ride the new Suzuki 1250 Bandit.The
closest bike to a KZ you can get.Just
remember,"If it ain't Jap,it's probably crap".

I agree, the MC magazines were very impressed with the bandit! Also impressed with the new (ugly?) KZ1000! "Made in Japan" really means something now!!
