Its good to be back! Its been 2 years. . .

13 Jul 2009 21:09

Well, i was pretty active on this forum up until two years ago. I just had a great engine rebuilt, beefed up my bike and was cruising it around, when i was accepted to law school and had to choose 1 vehicle to take up there. At the same time, my bike fried a piston ring.

Which means that i was stuck driving my 66 Plymouth valiant around. With my rare trip home and staggering law school related poverty, it took nearly a dozen trips back home over two years to fix my rings and get my dear Kz back on the road. But now she lives! And i am extremely happy.

I'll have her back up here in San Antonio in no time. I can't wait to drive around some of the hill country drives up here.

Welcome back!

I'm not sure that we need more lawyers, but any lawyer that rides a KZ is alright in my book! :woohoo:

I completely did not realize Kawasaki people need lots of pro bono advice.

Either way, its going good. I just need to find a solid way to solve oil leaks, so i can wear my suit while i ride to work. Any solutions y'all can think of?

Nah, i'm just talking about the leaks that develop on KZ's all the time. If its not the alternator cover, its the value cover, if not that then the bottom of the jugs.

It wasn't serious. I just dream of driving my bike in a suit.
