All it takes is a date, time, and place and I'm there.

  • If it tastes that good, eat it yourself.

They are gonna watch from the vehicle wishing. Ah, but wait I have a picture to post of my riding partner when I get home.:P
So you're down for a nice weekender or more around the boundaries of Michigan? Sweet, I will post you on the dates. After the middle of June seems like the ideal moment in time.
And Suhweet MK II!!!!!!! VFN! I wish that I owned one. I have two LTD's and now that I have over 10k invested in one I am going to have to trade the other for a MK II or better a Z1R!

Hey Sean, What do you have to do to your KZ to get it going?
Do you need parts or what?

Hey Sean, I've got heat, power and tools in my shop. If you need help just let me know.
Moving a 1000cc motorcycle up any kind of steps makes me nervous.

Wow J, that's a real generous offer! I got heavy duty bills to pay over the next couple weeks, but after that I may have to hit you up. 'Course once you see the rag tag fugitive fleet of Kawi parts I got, hope it's not..."and stay out!":laugh:

Here is a link to my thread.

Kinda embarassing that I have made no progress in 3 months. Too many bikes and too little money, I guess.

Yeah, I checked out the pictures of your bike. WOW! IT sure looks like a lot of work to do, but it can be done, I have stuff going on with every bike I own right now. It seems like it never ends. Looks like you have to ride the Honda and work on the Kaw. You just have to get after it.

Hey guys, the bike club I'm involved with is hostin' a ride Memorial Day weekend. We'll be ridin' from Kalamazoo up to Interlochen MI(Traverse City area)to stay at the Cycle Moore campground and any of you guys are invited. Probably should warn ya that most(but not all)of the club is chopper guys but they all love to ride and can appreciate lots of different bikes. There are tons of great roads in the area and I intend to spend the majority of my time checkin' 'em out. The campground is cool too, with a full service bike shop, a little museum with several rarely seen bikes(including a killer H2 Kaw)and more. Camping is $6 a night for bikers and free if you're a vet or active duty! Here's some links...

I think this could be a great time to meet some of you guys so you can help me escape the monotonous drone of v-twin blubbering. If ya wanna meet for the ride up or have any questions feel free to post 'em here or pm me.
