I am way too slow. I just came by to post the link to the story and there's already a full discussion.

Since I wrote it in July but it didn't run until December (due to scheduling considerations way beyond my control) I figured by now Les thought I was totally full of BS and there was no story.

Gotta keep at least a shred of credibility...

Little woman allready donated a 4'X5' stained glass window we removed from our other home we are redoing to put the article, pictures and a shirt in. I really thing she was more excited than I was. It really is a proud moment in our adventures together

@ motociclista...

Some of the cleanest builds I've come across are right here on this site.
Clean restorations to custom builds... B)

With that in mind, why not do a KZRider article on some of the builds here w/images to show off what us old/young guys can do with a 30 year old Kawi... ;) And we're doing this ourselves and not having someone build/modify/fabricate/paint etc... as witnessed in these build off shows. All through our own personal desire, determination, blood/sweat and imagination.

Bet that grabs some attention in the build off world we see these days...

Just a thought...

Yeah, Les. Was looking to send you an email concerning your paint job. Yeah. Awesome! Props to you. This year when Moto GP comes around let's all have a kzr rally. Would love to meet you and your bike in person. Who did that paint?! I have to have a trick paint job with the idea we mentioned earlier but can't quite get it solidified just yet. Keep up the good work! If and when I tackle my next project I will call you to do my swinger.
I can't wait till summer!!!!
