I play around on a '81 Kawasaki KZ750LTD. I ride it to work most days and the wife likes to ride around town. We don't leave town on it very often.

.what affiliate does your buddy go through? track time, track addix, nesba? i belong to nesba...

i am not sure which he goes thru, i do know it is the all import weekend when he goes, as he races his triumph crotch rocket when he goes, i think it is in aug but i am not sure anymore. he also has a BMW crotch rocket and a 99 harley dyna wide glide.

I was planning on getting out this weekend to edo some riding, but when i got home friday at 3:30 i didnt feel very good and laid down for a nap, woke up at midnight barfing, went back to bed woke up at 3 pm again not feeling well at all. ended up taking some drugs, eating some chicken soup and drinking some diet 7up and now at 5 am monday morning i am feeling okay again. go figure i slept all weekend feeling like crap and now that it is monday and i have to go back to work i feel good again.

J&P's open house is June 24th.. We plan on going ~~taking the bikes if it isn't raining~~ I was down there Fri, since I had the work truck I couldnt get in due to the road distruction going on I could have taken the detour but figured it was to much of a PIA..

I got the frame of the trailor together, now I am going to paint the car top carrier and the frame to match the colors of the bike Once I get the trailor done we (my wife,son and me) are planning on taking the bikes on a short camping trip

I am also planning on going to J&P's open house, My buddy is getting a hotel and staying all weekend but i will just be up there for the saturdays events, that is providing the weather is nice, I dont mind riding in a little rain, but not a whole day of rain.

Fords and Yamahas what else could you want. I hope I can buy a Yamaha FZ6 or 1 someday. Any YZF would do too!
I have to be good to my sweetheart first! You know how that goes.

the FZ1 is an all around do everything bike...if you are an experienced, or inexperienced rider, the the FZ1 is for you...i'm not a big fan of the FZ6 (as far as looks go), but i hear that it's a good bike also...
