Saying "So Long". Having reservations, though.

01 Dec 2010 17:05

Kids:
I have made up my mind to get out of the Z1/KZ scene. I have been "rebuilding/restoring" my Z1A for over 6 years now, and she isn't even close to being finished.
I realize there are a lot of members that have joined KZR since my last post! So it is time for me to put this behind me, at least for now.
The reason for this post is not just to say goodbye, but to let members know I will be listing many, many Z1/KZ900/1000 parts in the classifieds here. Most of the items are brand new purchased from Z1 Enterprises but never installed or used.
I will always admire the big KZ series of motorcycles, but I have to admit I recently bought my dream bike.......
a 1983 CB1100F. I will remain a lurker here and someday I sincerely hope to own a Z1 or big KZ. :)

Say It Ain't so Mr. Jim!

Don't go away, you know Hildas will never match Kawasaki's, so don't limit yerself on the information side of things. B)

You know where you belong, we allow for temporary aberrations because we know some distortions in the ethos are normal.

Regards

You guys are great!
Like I said, I will remain a KZ lover, but after 6 years of this project, it IS time to move on.

I hear you Jim.
The 1100Fs are nice bikes.
I will look for your new project pix on CM.
Does this mean your Element is getting new stickers too?

Hi Rob. Good to hear from you here.:)
I haven't had my Element for 2 years now.
I traded it for a Maxima; which has a MotoGP sticker on the rear window. :laugh:

I had a 83 1100F nice bike, smooth decent power, but my Z1 w 1045 kit was better IMO

Good luck on what ever you decide Jim, but no need to say so long.

I will refer you to a passage from "Hotel California",

" Last thing I remember,
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave."

Please keep us abreast of you're current efforts, even if they involve Hildas.
