My 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 MKII. It's still in Montana and needs to be brought down here so I can get it all back to running condition again:

Check out that sissy bar, lol...

Its just a stock photo, but this is the first real motorcycle I had. 1973 Chapparal 80. I was 7 when I got it. The second is a photo I found on the internet. It is some elese pic of the second bike I had. It was a 74 Honda CL125. My mom has some actual prints of both somewhere, but she lives 200 miles away. I wish I still had the 125 it was a tank. I did all kinds of riding on that thing.

Here's a pic of my CB before and after. A fellow hit me head on going at some speed. 3 years it took to put a Volusia in the garage. I am really happy with the bike, and grateful to be back in the saddle.
I built the CB as a ground up and miss it very much. The Volusia; I think I will like as well.

Man that would pi$$ me off, if I lived. Glad to hear you did.

Thanks; yeah funny that. I woke up hearing the ambulance attendant saying something like," he's rambling about his bike again." I straightened him out pretty good, letting him know I was aware and concerned.
I've been running a 2003 stock Volusia with a few aftermarket bits on it. I didn't think I'ld like the riding style, but do; a lot. Great looker to boot.
Thanks for the reply.
This is it.

donny662 · 01-10-2009, 11:46 PM

That is awesome!! I'd love to be able to pack up my scooter and store it by my desk when I got to work.

cutlass79500 · 01-10-2009, 11:48 PM

im sure it will MSgt Egress . when i say i lucked out on mine i really lucked out. picked it up on craigs list not running for 150 bucks . was a little worried after i bought it they said they pushed it up and down the street it wouldnt start. was an older mans bike passed on many years back. he drained the carbs and tank before he got sick. when i got it home i looked where he pulled the fuel hoses i saw a mud dobber nest in 1 and the line was still off . i put a battery in it and replaced the gas lines .it turned over about 3 times and started . ive put a few hundred miles on it the only problem i had about a month after i got it was out for a ride started to run a bit rough come to find out the oring that held the main jet in split and it was laying in the float bowl . its unbelieveable what these things are worth now . might just sell it if the right collector wants it

i hate to see that happen especially to a classic that im sure you were proud of .as long as you were ok

cutlass79500 · 01-11-2009, 12:05 AM

probbibly one of the stupidest things i ever did . i spent 6 months restoring this z1 big bore kit and al 20k original miles . sold it for a grand needed the money to move to georgia for work

callen246 · 04-28-2009, 09:35 PM

Here is a pic of my super sport. I guess it's considered a classic since it is 28 years old but I have a hard time thinking of it as a classic if it was made when I was 33.

Wild Willy · 04-29-2009, 01:51 AM

Here are a couple of mine. 83 V65 Magna's one of each color.
