Hey RonKZ650 was created by kawtoy
A few weeks ago I bought a bunch of 'Classic & Motorcycles Mechanics' mags. I got a few years worth and have been flipping through them each night at bed time. So last night I am reading the issue from April 93. I get to the "Show Us Yours" and what do I see? A half page write up and pic of Ron's 135,000 mile Z650. I can only assume it is yours. Not sure what your last name is but this guy is Ron H from Lakewood, Colorado. It has to be you right? Do you have a copy of the issue? I will try to scan it and post it for all to enjoy. Nice pic of 78 650 and 79 KZ1000 MKII. So sorry to say Ron I was thinking of you last night while laying in bed :dry:

Kawtoy, that last line was funneee! (and a little bit distrubing).
Makes me wonder... How many of our members have been featured in a magazine? Mark Wing? Lorcan? Scrapper?

I went to see Ron twice and it sounds like him, although that part of Colorado is off a little. Ron is in Wheatridge colorado, which is just the next city to the west of Lakewood, closer to the mountains. I have seen one of the 650's he has but I don't know which one you saw. If its the one with spoke wheels, it still looks new, like 2 years after it came out the store new. Keep up the good work Ron, and no more weird comments Kawtoy

Thanks for thinking of me :P Yes I was in that magazine. I have it somewhere around. I actually live in Lakewood in a 1898 farmhouse, work in Wheat Ridge, so I'm basically in Wheat Ridge mostly.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
