I didn't have time for a real ride yesterday so I decided to just ride around the hood to run some gas through the bikes. As I am doing this I spot a bike in one of my neighbor's driveways. From that distance and angle at first I thought it was an 80's vintage Honda. As I approached closer I confirmed that it was a Kawasaki maybe a KZ1100, 82 or 83. No one was out so I didn't stop.
I made another pass and a guy was out in the drive way. I stop and introduce myself. Turns out that it is a KZ750 E1. He has owned it since new and the bike has been in storage for several years. He has just this season decided to put it back on the road. It's a nice survivor, all there, V&H exhaust, pods and 24,000+ miles.

Yeah, all the other guys in the hood have Harleys for the most part. I guess it's the age group. Bunch of FGOH as my son says, (fat guys on harleys). Ha Ha!

I had a similar situation about 18 months ago. My neighbor saw me riding the 1000 around and offered me his GS750 at a price I couldn't refuse. After I got that one running it made me a tidy profit. Not long after that another had a naked Goldwing for sale but I passed on that one.
