Gramby
GOB was learning life lessons all over the place.
Hey, everyone. I'm Gramby. From Minneapolis in the United States. I've been a motorcycle fan since I got Hugo Wilson's "The Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle" in high school.
Now I've got a couple of 70s KZ bikes. One is a 1974 Kz400 that I'm rebuilding. That might have been a mistake, because I've never rebuilt a bike before. I have a Clymer's manual, but I kind of feel like my brain goes fuzzy every time I sit down to work on it. But it's not too bad. I just have to rebuild the top end and I'm set.
The other bike I have is a '78 Kz200. I bought it customized (sort of). The previous owner had turned it into kind of a rat bike, so some work is done, and some work I probably have to un-do.
But it runs and drives, and I just need to sort out some electrical stuff and some carb stuff. I saw One_Lunger's post on here showing his excellent Kz200, and I hope to turn out something similar.
And I'm getting a nice bonus tomorrow from my job, so I'm tempted to drop some change on a third bike, but we'll see.
Anyway, glad to meet all of you! I'll have plenty of questions. In fact, I'm going straight to the other forums to post some stuff now!
