the Kaw is one of the bikes that i will use for my everyday ride
i'm a probike mechanic with a workshop that i operate on my own

Hi, and thanks for your replies
maybe i will get you in some sort of a bad mood

but such is life, a Harley is allways a Harley with pros and cons
a Kawasaki likewise, but when it's gonna be a chopper it's gota be a Harley
from my point 'cause i build them

Please take no offence from this i like nearly all of the bikes around the globe
and here's a link http://kzrider.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=18926 i know it's an another forum but please take a look and see for your self

well, whatever one you decide to ride is alright with me. welcome to the forum, nice looking bikes you got there, can't wait for more pics.

*jukief* · 02-01-2005

Welcome to the forum. Always happy to see Europeans here!

I agree with you about the choppers. It seems like they really do have to be Harleys. Anyway, I know I would never want to chop my Kawa; I like its traditional look.

I agree about not chopping my bike, besides i'm not really sure I'd enjoy having one because those chrome'd out bikes dont' look like they are long haul ready.

Welcome to the group.
Don't forget that Triumphs & BSA's used to be chopped just as much as Harleys in the 60's and 70's. That was the era for a lot of chopped bikes. Seemed like 1/2 of the bikes I saw on the roads back then were chopped.
