hello, not new to kawasakis, but kinda new to the forum thing. been riding off and on since i was a kid. from like '88-2002 always had a few bikes, mostly kawasakis and hondas. had to quite riding due to injury, didn't get back on again until late '06. have owned just about every year kx125/250 from 84-97, lots of good memories on the green bikes. also a few kx500s, an 85 and a 92. since 98 i have wanted a aluminum framed cr500, finally built mine recently. after i told myself no more bike projects for a while, i accidentally found a basket case '86 kx500. just found a '08 kx450 roller to be the donor. this site looks pretty cool, neat to see guys digging the old kx stuff. can't wait to build my new bike!
