I rode with the police as a motor marshal for the Masters Nationals held over the Labor Day weekend.
I made nine 18 mile laps on Saturday and ten of the same on Sunday.
It was a total ball!

Pete wants a weather permitting hall pass to the nurses office...call his mommy go home early 
we have valley fog.. :sick: ...110* inland at night meets the cool coast and by a.m you are in london ,cant tell if it is sunrise even some days.....riding the blind movie screen to work this morning...waiting for bambi and her mom to appear in the low beam and lose my life finally....things to ponder while doing 40 mph in the gray 20 foot round moving bubble @ 5:30 am
no rain gear purchase yet to try and ride until frosts....so i may puss out before long....oct a.m's on the pacific coast go right through winter gear that works inland to ride with snow...go figure...

no but really...
we are not seeing pics of other kz folks and other areas and choice of shots or decent story about a ride and maybe a close one or a tip picked up from experience and such... we are answering the same questions over and over ..needs done i know...but...and...even though i dig all the old pics and drag stuff and motor builds and hybrid and everything...shit a ltd 250 bobber is cool...a belt drive 305 gpz is the slowest bike ever made....i want one bad.......
but ...jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez........enough building and lets ride and talk about riding and plan rides,and make time,and shoot film,,,,and share it....if your anything near my age,now is a good time to get that bike running, my knees may be needing a rebuild before my bikes all get running...if this happend i would be looking for homes for some bikes..and the 45 yr old gaskets are all starting to leak i bet...shit my brother( who was always dying to get back on bike and gave me my first xs650 for nothing) blew his head gasket on a Tuesday afternoon after working in the garden...he was not even near a bike when it happened..and he never did toss a leg over his own registered bike and point it away for an hour or two,never did get around to it...
...my point.....i think there is a reason why we see so few KZ's on the road....they are being worked on ...not ridden
maybe the name around here should be KZnotrunning ...not KZrider

LMAO
if any of you have been following my threads this spring and summer, you know I been sortin out problems with my bike, but regardless, I been ridin it, if nuthin else test runs,to see if things were gettin better. I normally take it out for a cruise on weekends of at least 10-20 miles per trip, which isn't much, and fortunately I haven't had to push it anytime. If I don't have to transport anything I normally hop on the bike to go to the post office or just run around town too. My intention was to have a bike I could commute the 23 miles to work on this summer and I still intend that for next summer.
LOL knee problems, disc problems , I got those too but short of bein on my back, I intend to ride.
