Lost a Buddy was created by mopguy
Lost one of our riding buddy ( Larry Jonathan Birk age 42 ) this weekend at Yonge St. and Gerard St. Saturday at a about 3:00 PM in downtown Toronto due to a collision with a pedestrian, I could not ride all weekend just thinking about it, even though we are having great weather. This morning I had to get the shock out of my system and went for a 200K ride all on Hwy 401,the Hwy of Heroes. This Friday we are all going to get together and have a party and remember the good times we had together and we are all going to rev our engines together for one minute in the memory of our friend Larry, God bless his soul.
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.

It's never easy. Condolences.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
