Really, don't feel p*ssed or feel like you missed out on something..........we got NOTHING accomplished, just a bunch of "I wanna be different" (noticed) stuff. All in all, it was always selfish and really pointless..........and put a huge heartache/worry on our parents/loved-ones. And now the guilt of all of that, when it comes to raising our own, has made the majority of us a bunch of liberal (it's all ok) knuckleheads that stand for nothing.Chili said:And I'm still pissed about that as I was 13 at the end of the 70's. Oh well at least we had big hair and Glam rock in the 80's :bang:
True........the triples were way cool. Always had a hankerin for one. Still do.motometal said:but dude! your screen name! you had Kawasaki Triples like the H2!
Man, when I moved to SoCal from Florida in '79 with my Road Runner and Kawi H2 I thought I was in Motor Heaven. Cruising Van Nuys in the RR on Wednesday nights was the best, but after my first ride on the H2 to the Rock Store I knew I needed to get rid of it for a bike that could turn. The triple was a monster in a straight line, but asking it to wind through a curvy CA roadway was never in its repertoire. Now the KZ900LTD that replaced it was a different story. Ah, the memories...motometal said:but dude! your screen name! you had Kawasaki Triples like the H2!
I was referring to the fact that it replaced my H2. BTW, the KZ900LTD was the fastest production motorcycle at one point in its existence. That was the first really scary-fast motorcycle I ever owned. :laugh:Jaybird said:Good stuff, Tony.
Rick, I think you will find that the KZ900 was a replacement for the Z1900 (circa mid-75)
At the time I was barely 20 and knew that if I didn't get something that handled I was going to kill myself on that bike. I had other considerations, then, as well. The neighbors never appreciated the racket the bike made in the mornings when I left for work or the copious clouds of blue-white smoke the thing belched while warming up in the driveway. The KZ was infinitely more neighbor friendly. :laugh:motometal said:For me, it's not about turning corners (we don't have many roads with good corners here anyway). It's about the smell of it, the sound of it, and just having something different.

Tony, do you have any pictures?
