I quit for the most part trying to understand other guys intents and gratification at destroying a fine motorcycle so mostly don't comment about their choices, but there are times that it is hard to keep the lips sealed
However I'm better than I used to be. At least I'm giving it my best shot.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Well thanks to those who are helpful. I've been a sideline viewer for some time. Just never thought about just signing up. But I seen several threads in here that made me think of WTF!. If I had friends like this, ya know? I had several bikes over the years and like what I like but I don't try to dis someone else about what they have or how they want it. Just sayin'. It would be nice to see if someone has something someone dislikes just say "not my taste" and let it pass. I've seen things in here that have made me go Uhmmmmmmm! but it not my place to say something about someone else hard work and pride. Constructive criticism is better than just blowin' them out the water with trash talk.
Enough of my soap box, thanks to all who have left nice words.

Ron has gotten much better. He now thinks its ok to repaint a bike if you have original paint found in a warehouse, a guy that worked at the factory in the 70's who used to paint the bikes and the original paint gun he used at the factory. Then it's ok to repaint a kz.

Now how the hell did I get thrown into this for I've been off (few replies) forum for several weeks/months now.... Poor OMR... :blush:
It's fairly simple here.... Winter comes along and everyone but south westerners have to put there toys away and they get bored, Flame wars begin.... Happens every year... :pinch:
Example, do I get all pissy when others post me as the bad guy in this post when I had absolutely nothing to do with it... Nope.
Or go into chit chat.... Neighbor Hood Spat...
Do I get all pissy, naw... Game On! :evil:
So stick around, grab a bag of popcorn and watch the show... Just how it works here....
