I've just discovered the site and joined today. Thanks to Lorcan for helping me sign up, and thanks to everyone who's contributed to such a great site. My story? I have an '84 engine that came from a wreck, installed in my KZ650 drag bike. In 1985. Yes, it's been sitting for 40 years, waiting for the stars to align so I could get back at it, possibly a world record for procrastination. What can I say, life sort of happened in between. Anyway, no guarantees that I'll be able to follow through, but if I don't there will be no excuses for not having the resources to work with, thanks to all of you and your contributions.

Hi Patrick and welcome to the gang. 
Keep us up to date and let us know how things pan out. Hope to see you get the bike back on the road.

Welcome Patrick!
I haven't touched my 750 turbo dragbike for nearly 20 years either, so don't feel bad! You're not alone!
When I retire though, you're all fucked
