Hello to all..... I'm new here as of tonite. Looks like a good site for bike and ride info. I've been riding Kawasaki's since 1978. My first bike I ever owned was a 76' KZ 900. I've owned a 76' KZ 900, 78' KZ 1000, 80' LTD 1000, 80' Z1R and numerous Kawi dirt bikes. As you can see, the majority of bikes I have owned where Kawi's. I have raced a few at Firebird, mostly just for fun. I've been out of biking for about 4 years now and getting ready to buy a Kawi Concours within the next 60 days. Looking forward to some rides through this forum. I don't know if any of you local riders from Az remember the Sport Bike club back in the early 90's. We would get about 150-200 sport bikes together twice a year. Spring ride would meet at Bell/I-17 and run through Wickenburg, Prescott, Jerome, Sedona, Flagstaff, and back to Phx. Fall ride would meet at Country Club/McKellips and head to Payson, Heber, Snowflake, Globe, and back home. I was running an 80' LTD 1000 then, probably the oldest bike in the bunch, but it ran great and kept up with all the others. Those where some good rides. I hope to get some rides going through this site sometime after September.
