Well I just moved back to the states after getting out of the military(was in Hawai'i) and go to school over here in Normal, IL now. I know I saw a few from this area with FZR's, just seeing who is around.

Ya I am still waiting to get mine out for the spring I just got a 94 600 as I sold my old bike in hawaii figuring I wouldn't be able to make the payment's now that I am out of the military and a college student. Well the bug bit me again I needed the enjoyment but I am having some rich idle problems so once that get sorted out I can enjoy myself again.

No but I did pick it up on CL in tuscola new fork seals, rebuilt top end, new factory pro emulsion tubes , full SSR2 exhaust, new tires all around. Only problem is a few of the plastics are scratched and 2 cracks but I am a pretty good painter and decent bodyman so that is simple. Total of 9k miles, ordered a jet kit for it so that should clean up the idle problem already put the factory pro emulsion tubes in last week as we figured that was the problem.

Looks to be a ride coming up here in Bloomington on June 25 the Traveling Vietnam War Memorial will be coming through that weekend and there will be a ride if anyone is interested I know I will be there and my dad and a few of his harley buddies will probably make the trip(all vietnam vets). Im an OIF vet but still got to show love for the old guys.

Lol hell know its storming like crazy out right now, I have to run by sportland here in a few days to pick up a new cover for the bike so I will grab the flyer when I am there. And now that I look at the date I might be wrong about it sure looked like the 25th to me but it might be a night ride.
