My son lives about an 90 mins. North of us and he said that he had a buck just standing in the middle of the road last week, just staring
at a doe and it would not move even with him honking the horn, he said he had to bump it with his truck to get it moving.

Now I could end all this nonsense by simply picking up my bow and they would all disappear instantly.

I hope you all like this very clean / like new 550.
Please join me in welcoming Dave Martel / fastdave to being our December Bike of the Month
Im going to share some before shots here of the bike. Man oh Man was it rough.
Daves buddy lent the bike many years ago to a guy he was in the army with who needed
something to drive. Well to say the least he didnt take care of it and never returned it .
Dave worked with his friend to recover the bike and after many false starts managed to get
the bike back .
Dave probably has way more than what the bike cost in restoration work , parts and labor.
But bottom line is that he did a fantastic job of bringing this Kaw back from the junk pile.
So a Big KZRider applause to Dave for letting me share his ride with our membership

Congratulations!

I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Dave your bike is looking better than new out of the Kawasaki dealer shop.
You did a great job with a lot of loving attention to the details.
Sadly i can not vote twice for your bike. Have to say that i love all the BOTM builds. The owners do a fantastic job
to keep their bikes stat of the (70´ decade) art .

Better Late than never .
Tied up with wifes parents in the nursing home about 80 percent of the time . Fun Fun Fun
But taking a time out from that to get caught up

I hope you all are enjoying DocRot / Victors fine January Bike of the Month !!!!!!!!!
Vic has done a outstanding job creating a real masterpiece of a one off machine
Look at his build thread that goes back 6 years. I was very happy to get Victors permission
to feature his KZ/ LTD / 1000 bike here on KZRider
Please take a minute and write a post here to Victor to let him know you like his bike
Later
