Default About me?

Hey folks,
I just joined up.

I have been riding for about 17 years off and on. Started with a '77 KZ1000 (Loved it). Then got a 86 ZX11 (Loved it even more). Would take another one if I could find it in good condition at when I have the money for it. Then I got a '93 KX500. Funny thing is that when I was growing up I had the mindset that Dirtbikes weren't good unless they were Yamaha and street bikes weren't good unless they were Harleys. Riding rice burners was against the American way. So now I may be a traitor but I really think that finding a better, lower maintenance bike at a lower price is really what America is all about. "Capitalism" Get the best for less. This is why I ride Kawi's.

Now I have just bought a 95 Vulcan in good running order, at least until last weekend, for about a grand. I like the bike and am still trying to get used to it. Especially after riding forward leaners for so long. I have gotta get rid of those running boards. I will be getting online here to get helpful hints of how to keep this thing running. I hope you guys don't mind my questions.

Maybe one day, if you are riding here in Colorado and see a well dented red vulcan we can share a drink and a few stories.

Welcome to the forums! KZ's rule!!! Not too many of us here ride Vulcans, but we'll help you the best we can.

(Get rid of those highway pegs, too; they'll flip you if they catch on anything.)

Welcome Warren, sounds like you know what you're doing. Hang around here long enough and you'll be crazy like the rest of us.
