Our Latest Acquisition

You know how it goes, you know someone who knows someone who knows a guy who’s got an old bike they can’t ride anymore and don’t have the time nor energy to fix. We heard tell it was ‘vintage’, so off we went to check it out – and ‘Lo and Behold our latest project was born…

She’s a 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000

We found her in a sorry state!

 

 

She looks down at the heels

and more than a little worse for wear

 

 

but underneath all that dirt, grime

and twisted wiring

She’s still got a few miles left in her and we think there’s more beauty to behold!

Over the next few weeks, she’ll be restored to her former glory with a make over that includes a few upgrades. We figure we’d start her out with:

• a new ignition
• new rims
• and maybe a new power kit

We’ll take an even closer look at her over the next few days and decide what she needs.

Well that’s all for now. Check back often to see what progress she’s making. And feel free to post your questions and comments.
