I've been lurking on the site for some time. It's been very helpful.
I appreciate the effort that goes into keeping the riff-raff out.
I've been working off and on restoring a '74 GT380 for the last 4.5 years.
The bike sat outside in a field for who knows how many years. Very rusty and crunchy.
Just about ready to re-install the engine. I've yet to deal with the gas tank, instruments, and exhaust.
I'm 63 and live in Lincoln, Nebraska. Home of HVC Cycle and Kawasaki. I currently ride a '01 Suzuki Bandit.
First bike in my teens was a '72 Honda CL350. Had a minor run-in with car pull out in front of me.
Lost my enthusiasm for a long time. Bought the Bandit about 12 years ago. Been riding ever since.
I've done a frame off mechanical resto of a KZ550 ltd that I purchased from by brother.
Didn't keep it very long. Not a big fan of the custom style.
I've also done a mechanical resto of a '78 KZ650 that was born in Lincoln.
Sold the 650 to my brother with the caveat if he ever sells it I get first dibs.
