Up till 3 AM working on the brakes and latter that day took the KZ1000E for a spin. Little stumbling at 25-3000rpm about 1/3 throttle but hopefully it'll sort itself out. Don't think the oil's been changed in 30 years. But after changing out the motor settled into a smooth hum, loving the power band with the exception that the bike sits taller than I am long in the leg, but still a lot of fun to ride. So I took it down for a lakeside drive on a warm Seattle indian summer afternoon. I had forgotten how much fun it is riding a naked bike, how nice again feeling the wind...and getting a bug facial. Next week the Avons replace the 30 year old Dunlops and I get to see what the old girl will do in the twisties.

went riding last weekend with my new video sunglasses they are awsome for riding. just before the video got my axx handed to me by a hotrod Harley. the yamaha I was riding with lost his right side fairing at about 100mph to our defense we both had passengers (have a feeling wouldn't have mattered)
