Great loss to all that knew him was created by kz10006
This Tuesday the 5th we lost a great man. My father another kz lover passed from a heart attack. He was never a poster here since he wasn’t up on technology to much but he loved all the kz’s he owed over the years. Between the kz’s and classic cars the projects never ended. Here is a pic of one of his favorite ones that he did finish. We all miss you and love you may the winds always be at your back the sky’s clear of rain and the road never ending

My condolences.
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.

My condolences as well, he mentored you well Brian. I lost my Dad in 1972, industrial accident. I still think of him everyday as I still use his hand tools. Your Dad had that old school Z style going! That is what inspired me as a teenager in the mid 70's
He's up there now talkin Kawi Z's with Elmer Trett and Puppet.
It's never easy.
