Thad on the left - that is me on the right

What a surprise - the "son" on TVs' show Nip Tuck, John Hensley, showed up and was a fan of the retro KZs. Also started racing in October at SoCal's Willow Springs Raceway... coincidentally... Thad was his teacher. Best part, Thad did not realize who he was when he taught him to race.

The show actually created quite an interest in the Pridmore KZ

Larry - The bike was invited by Cycle World, so I was unable to provide my own build board. The provided a very brief board as seen here

There was rumors of a possible article on the bike, but until it happens... just rumors.

Saturdays attendance was very strong at the show. I was pleasantly surprise, since there was so much discussion of the economy slowing sales. But that doesn't stop dreams

How about treating us to a link of that bike starting up and a little throttle?
