I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

That bike ain't got enough horsepower to peel a skin off a grape.
That bike couldn't run 10's even if you dropped it down a mineshaft.

“On my tombstone they will carve, "IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME.” - Hunter S. Thompson
“In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.
On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.”
― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
"I've spent most of my money on alcohol, women and motorcycles............the rest of it I just wasted." -Johnny2Bad
