Christmas Comes Early for Greg

I met Greg several years ago and he has always wanted a motorcycle of his own. In fact he has wanted a bike so much that early this summer he ordered a helmet in preparation for the big day. Well Sunday was the day!

Seems Greg met a fellow who owned a 1978 Kawasaki KZ750, but due to illness hasn’t ridden the bike for a long while.  In fact, the bike has been sitting outside under a tarp for the past 10 years.  Greg decided to purchase the bike as a project and was undaunted by it’s current condition, to be honest, he seems rather giddy about the whole thing.

I met Greg on a cold and blustery, Sunday afternoon to bring the ole’ girl to her new home.  KTRSD will keep a close eye on this restoration and will keep you abreast of the progress.

    Dear Rick:

    This is a cool bike, but this guy certainly has his work cut out for him if he is thinking of a “pristine” restoration. Tell him I said, “Good luck.”
