Hey all, dont post much here, usually just read
Ive got 2 KZs, a 77 KZ650 B1 and the one im taking on this trip my 82 KZ1100 with all the Vetter goodies.
Whats so epic about the trip? Well it will be me and Tina, so 2 up, 6000-8000 miles and 6-8 weeks on the road. We have very few set plans or time frames other than "hey that looks cool..............lets go there"
The rough idea is to camp for 2-4 days, then motel...........repeat. Even though the bike has a full Vetter compliment.......its not enough space for the 2 of us. When I first bought the 1100 it had a trailer hitch on it that I quickly removed. After much thought..........I put it back on and got a small tag along trailer.
Here it is on a test run.
Though I have to take her a little higher in the RPMs to get the same acceleration, and allow more room for braking...........she handles it with ease.
Now I know many will say........"a trailer? WTF?........take your car!" And thats fine, its not for everyone, Ill not try to convince you otherwise.
Heres a short vid of what it looks like from the trailer.
Tina and I wont be leaving until the end of the month sometime (remember that "no plans" thing?) But we are going on a test camp to Tybee Island GA next week. Ill start posting pics and maybe some vids then.
