Yeager bought a new motorcycle

[chezuki]

Did you have the 750 or the 1100? I remember them, if I remember the seat was like sitting on a 2+4!

Lol, 600!

 

[kawtech87]

Lol, 600!

Ok, now even I want to make fun of you......











But I can't because my first bike was a lemon yellow Buell Blast.

 

[chezuki]

You know I'd call AAA for you when I find you broke down on the road side.

You'd have too, they wouldn't be able to comprehend his mush-mouthed jibberish.

Ok now damn it that was funny! I almost spit beer all over my monitor.

........Honda's version of a Dyna........

An' the Dyna's nuth'n more'na glorified Sportster......far's I'm concern'd......

Sportsters where originally Harley's race bikes. Wasn't until the '80's that they took a image beating. But in the early '70's if you had a iron head 1000 , you were king if the streets. Till Kawasaki came out with the Z1's and later the KZ's

First factory bike to breach 150 MHP off the show room floor was the '73 Z1 900. Fun motorcycle history fact.

Yup, ya still see 'em at the strip, ya know why they quit making 'em?

 

[kawtech87]

Again, Harleyrider_50 please. Heed Chezuki's advice.

The last year of the Z1 model designation was 1975. The first year of the KZ designation was the 1976 model year. And the KZ1000 was followed the year after in 1977. I think that is right. It was way before I was born. The last actual production date for the KZ100P? 2002. Although there was a 2003 model year KZ1000P

EDT: Oh you asked why! I'm sorry I miss read. I thought you asked when. No, I do not know why they stopped the Z1 designation.

Correct, they took the 500 frame and stuck this insane fast 900 motor in it. But unfortunately , the death rate for young testosterone filled young men jumped 75% that year. So they took the engine, tamed it down, less horsepower, bigger cc's (1000) and put it in a bigger frame. But for the few years the KZ 900 was out, it started the horsepower war that still rages on today.

Oh yeah! Now that I think about I have heard that before. It's been a minute since Kawasaki clinic 1

Nothing wrong with a nice Harley. But there is apparently something wrong with Harleyrider_50

I'm currently drunk and browsing with a concussion. It still makes no sense to me, at all.

This!

My first bike was a Suzuki Katana (affectionately pronounced "can-o-tuna"). I got shunned by Harley guys for it not being a Harley, shunned by cruiser guys for it being a sport bike, and shunned by sport bike guys for it not being a "real sport bike". Hell, even 2nd gen Katana guys shunned me for riding a 1st gen.

I shunned the crap out of those guys riding the DUI scooters though!!

Only if I could have seen you through my tinted visor and sunglasses to shield my hangover from the bright sun.

Around these parts the drunks ride lawn mowers. I wish I was kidding.

I vote this as my favorite Yeager thread thus far.

The funny thing is Yeager has hardly even been the topic of discussion. Or his new bike. Or anything else but Harley bashing and making fun of Harleyrider_50's posts.


Again OP I apologize for the derail.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Enjoyed this talk immensely. I think we ran everyone out! I can do this all night, but gotta get up early. I smell a INGO run next year. And it smells like bacon!! We'll let chezuki be road captain with his 600, , ,bwhahahahaha, sorry. Good nite and RESPECT!

 

[kawtech87]

Yep I gotta be heading to bed soon too.

Good night SkullDaddy.45!

 

[chezuki]

Lol, the 600 is long gone. I actually traded it on INGO!
