If we would of only knew to save them. I remember when the local Kaw shop, still had them in the create and couldn't sell them.

Years ago my brother would buy them as basket cases. People would bring them over in milk creates, shopping carts or whatever. He only paid $25-$50 for them! One day he sold them off and we threw away all the extra parts. Hind sight is 20/20.........

Looks like a European video by the fenders and plates. I loved the H1 and H2 every since the first ones I saw when I was around 8 years old back in 1969 for the H1, by 1972 when I was 11 I dreamed of H2s. Not kidding, I was that young and into H1s and H2s and still have my 1974 H2 after all these years. Really they leave a lot to be desired as a street bike, but fun just to be different. One thing I dream of is people that make youtube videos, please, PLEASE, can the music! Every one has music that makes me want to beat something with a bat! OK rant over, I turn down the sound on *every* youtube video. Put fake harley sounds in there, bird chirping, dog barking, fake porno sounds, I don't care, just no more music that drives me to want to kill something.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I'm with you on this one Ron! They all seem to add that headbanger music. I enjoy the videos but turn off the crappy music! :angry:
