Wow...time literally flies. Have not been here for awhile so I must have missed a lot of exciting chats. My laundry list is long but time is against me. You all know what I mean if you have kids growing up.

Some quick updates from my end:
- Despite not knowing which direction is north or south anymore, I did manage to restore a couple of F11 barn bikes. I will post pictures of the F11 soon (gotta love those enduros, too)
- Still working on the XTR2 but barely (not enough to post anything)
- Half way through restoring a 75 H1
- Still have '75 H2C & '69 H1 that not sure when I can start on them

A friend from work told me about his father who bought a bike new in 1975 and put on 19k miles but he has not touched it for 30 years or so. I asked him if it has 3 cylinders but he said it's a 4-stroker so I didn't bother. To make a long story short, one day I stopped by his father's house with my friend and he asked if I wanted to take a look at the old bike. When I saw the bike I couldn't believe it.

Thanks Barry...good to see you're still active on this board, too.

Yes, very nice Z1 and very lucky me that the owner finally let her go to me. :D

The interesting thing is his brother also had an identical Z1 that was also purchased new the same time. However, that Z1 was not well kept at all. A few years ago he traded with me for a '94 ZX7R running motor with all electrics. So now, I own both bikes from the brothers -- 1 is in impeccable original condition and 1 is in run-down condition. How odd?

Hi Cody...I always thought of you when I look at my H2 with a new chain on it. You bought 2 sets of chains (very good price) for me at Mid-Ohio years ago. Thanks!

Hi Carlos...very nice to hear from you again!

Totally agree regarding the 2nd Z1. Thanks for reminding me about my board...not sure I even remember how to login anymore. :(
I just wish I can find time to freshen that site with new pictures and videos which I do have a lot accumulated over the years.
For now, I will sprinkle a few here on this board.

Thanks Chris! Do you still have the bike? One of my favorite modified H2's...just love the looks!
The link below will take you back to 14 years ago. Just wondering how many owners of those bikes are active on this board? I know Barry B's H2A is on the list.

Seriously, when I collected the info, it was a real joy the see the passion from the owners. I wish I have the time to keep up the site and the "Triple of the Month" tradition...may be some day I will relive the site again. I am still paying for the server and the NAKTC.com but I don't mind at all.
