A friend of mine owns a motorcycle shop and had it stored in a shipping container with a bunch of other parts bikes, including a kz550 next to it. He forgot he had it till I made mention of looking at another kz1000 at the "giddy-up" chopper show in New Braunfels. He bought it from a tow yard for next to nothing and is offered for me to buy it for $300. Solid project and everything is there, minus the keys. We hooked up a new ignition cylinder and power, she turns over so the motor isn't locked up. I'm very excited to start this new project.

When are you going? I'm going to be Austin on Sunday to go to the show with my son. Wanted to go tonight but the timing for an evening event wasn't working out. Really wanted to watch some of the racing tonight. Sigh.
