My uncle to parted ways with his kz60 all jet black bike he told me was a classic one of his loved things, but do to his age he told me that he wanted to give me the bike, so now a owner of it, he told me from siting it needs a carborator kit or something with seals of some sort because it smokes not sure after he rambled on hahaha but i will have full details on it more soon? im not sure if i want to ride this bike or just restore it and keep as a classic

 

Very, very cool, Davey!! That's some uncle you have! How long has it been sitting, and what year is it? Do you already ride, or would this be your first? Post up some pics; we'd love to see it.
Welcome aboard. Let us know how we can help.

 

its from the 70's from what he told me not sure , will have pics soon, its been siting for a year or so just need tad working nothing much, didnt ride it and im not sure how i feel about riding the bike might just keep it as a classic for show or just fix it up and sell it, im not a big bike fan one cant ride a bike in bad weather plus i feel there are to many morons on the road and i do not want to end up ran over and killed and leave my daughter father less

 

I won't argue that statistics are grim for bikers who crash. However, I'm also willing to bet that those who survive are the ones who "prepare for the crash" before they leave their driveway. Many of us on here ride in all kinds of weather and temps. The difference, is that we know our limits, dress in proper gear, ALWAYS wear a helmet, and don't tempt the fates (yes; plural) by riding as if there is no tomorrow. Those who DO, typically fulfill their own prophecy. There ARE morons on the road, and unfortunately some of them are bikers!
Stay with us. Take a riding class. Fix up that bike. Get and WEAR proper gear. I think you'll find it to be a great experience. Glad to have you with us.

 

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to KF

As mentioned, if you decide to take some classes, gear up and prepare for anything, then you may really enjoy the new ride or maybe another ride out there that catches your fancy. There is absolutely no replacement for being on the open road or hitting the trails. I am an addict to riding in all kinds of weather, although there are days that sitting next to the fire is more tempting.

 

Welcome to the forums!


Well you'll hear no arguments from us about the "morons" on the road. All the experience in the world cant prepare you for a drunk driver or some tool texting on his or her phone. But there are things that we can do to increase our ability to handle most situations.

 

yeah i know but im still selling the bike
