quail motorcycle gathering 2014

my bike as it rolled to a stop with one spark plug dangling by my knee...waiting on a AAA flatbed as the riders warm their bikes up for the special pre-show ride...


bikes lining the streets as













we arrive to the show the next day

one of the 29 S1 that made it to the u.s....number 16

Fantastic Pictures Craig!
Thanks for posting.

That 47 Chief is only a little more complete than mine. Very Nice!

I moved the thread to "Bike Related" so it wouldn't be purged.

Great pics. Some very interesting bikes and scarcely a v twin cruiser in sight. Sorry to read about your blown spark plug. That sucks
Thanks for posting

So no cycle world ride..no quail gathering ride...no go pro clips of the 900 and the corkscrew...but...perfect weather,,,super good food...plenty of beautiful bikes and women.....great music ......maybe one of the highest caliber bike meets in the nation.....

next year I plan to ride the events and get some better pictures....getting over bronchitis and when the bike took a dump the wind kind of went out of my sail on this one..Eddie and an S1 plus the very first ninja 900 to ever come off the assembly line And I did not get very good pictures...just give you an idea how out of it I was...walking around sweating bullets from 4-5 days of bronchitis...anyways...I wanted to post some good pics and share with folks...

Great post Craig...thanks for taking the time. That S1 gives me a chubby.

Did you get a look at the serial number on the frame?? All the KZ1000S1's serial numbers ranged from JKAKZCR13CA000052 to ~00084. Now if the motor number was KZT00JE30316. That motor went into frame number ~000066.
My S1 was frame number 000062 with motor number 30312. There was 32 S1 made, but Kawasaki only sold like 29. I was told the other other ones were the bikes that Team Kawasaki raced in 1982.

the person on hand at the kawasaki booth said he was the mechanic for the kawasaki museum?
he showed me a blurry printout of vin and owner names...yours was sure to be on it...you should contact the kawasaki museum...he said this was #16

they ninja 900 #1 there too
