So the 1st Saturday after graduation, I was ready to go to my Granddad's shop to get MY motorcycle. When we got there, my Dad said that it was upstairs. Now, I had been going UPSTAIRS ever since I could walk pretty well and I had NEVER seen a motorcycle up there. He sent me up there 3 times and on the way down for the 3rd time, he handed me a parts book for a 125cc Jawa, saying "It's up there, you just have to put it together! :huh: :ohmy:
Well, I DID manage to put that one together and it wasn't until later, that I actually appreciated what he had done BTW, my Granddad did the SAME THING to my Dad, except I had to put EVERYTHING together except to spoke up the wheels (that was already done). Whereas my Dad only had to put the components together. I had to assemble the engine, trans......etc. Dad claimed he wanted to give ME more education. Got my 1st Japanese bike (a 66' CB72 Hawk) while I was in the U.S . Air Force In Japan in 1967 - 69'. My Granddad passed away on Dec 68' and I kinda got away from motorcycles for quite awhile, until about 10yrs ago and I started getting into the Hondas again and joined up at the SOHC4 to deal with some of the SOHC4's and others. Now Here I am with my 1st Street Kawasaki and it's an 83' GPZ1100 that I picked up off ebay for a reasonable price and was only about 2hrs away.

welcome to you sir and congrats on the very nice looking scoot.
Thank you for the welcome AND the comments on my newly acquired ride! I'm kinda proud of it myself. I thought it was a good deal, but didn't realize just HOW GOOD, until I started finding out the specifics of this year model GPZ. THe more I learn about her, the more I realize just HOW good of a deal I got! I have wanted a big Kawa Four ever since the 900 Z1 first came out and it took quite a while for me to get one, but I finally DID!
Take care, Bill;)
