New From Raleigh NC

[catseye]

Recently found a 81 KZ 750 LTD in a shed while on a photo shoot. Needless to say, I bought it and took it home with me. It's been sitting for years, but all there, and after replacing a few wires and a fresh battery, it fired right up.

I used to have a KZ900 back in 76 (paid $2400 for it brand new, IIRC), so this is kinda nostalgic for me.
I'm having the tank treated, doing some polishing and buffing, going to take it down and rebuild it into a cafe as soon as I get it running well.
Looking forward to getting together with the locals. I found out about this site yesterday when a guy with a very cool CB750 came by a store in Downtown Raleigh. Was told of an active group, which interests me a lot.

My wife tells me it was a great idea getting this bike, because keeping a 25 year old BMW up isn't costly enough...

Welcome!

There are several of us around.

Everyone I've met so far has been extremely good people.

We have a facebook page, "do the ton triangle" that runs a lot of the get together info and such.

I know your vices well, as I share a few.

Daily rider is a KZ900A5 and the long term project is a 1960 BMW R60.

Cheers!

AHH, thanks for that facebook link. I heard about that, and this site from the guy who owns this:

Naturally, I had to run over and talk to him, and I remember everything about his bike, but not his name...
