Congratulations to Ed. Wonderful 650. Ed has been so happy with this bike he has never bought another motorcycle since the purchase. That's a long term relationship to be proud of.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Congratulations Ed!
Your bike always brings back fond memories of my youth every time I look at it. As if time has stood still at 17 years old (1977). It amazes me this bike has looked this good every single day of its existence without any restorations whatsoever.

The home page tribute is fantastic. The bike looks great in those pics.

This story is too cool. It should be in the pages of Motorcycle Classics.

Congratulations Ed. I've been inspired by that bike to dream of owning a 650 one day. And thanks for the sound advice you enthusiastically offer!

I will enthusiastically join in....Ed's bike is a constant source of amazement & inspiration, ....I have heard it described as "the day gets a little brighter when you are standing next to Ed's bike" And the man himself is one of the most helpful folks on here...(no mean feat, that!) I still hope to buy you a burger someday, Ed! Thanx SO much for taking the time to help us newbs & not- so newbs keep our babies on the road, and congratulations on making BOM, AND thanx for making the home page look SO nice, LOL!
