My name is Jim. I'm in my late fifty's and starting over with a 07 FZ1. I started riding when I was 5 yrs old with a Rupp. I have continuously ridden and have had a motorcycle in my garage ever since then. I have ridden motocross, enduro's, flat track, ice, desert and roadrace in my time here on earth. My last bike was the best sport tour bike ever built, Ducati’s ST4s. I used to own and race a factory 1974 Kaw H2R and built a HD Sportster that I set LSR records on as well one at Bonneville. Three years ago I had 8 bikes in my garage but today, just the FZ.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3, non-small, non-operable lung cancer and have been dealing with through radiation and chemo treatments. I have been given a life expectancy of 2-3 yrs. While it would be easy to lay down and wait for it, I’ve decided getting back into motorcycling is the best possible thing to do. I feel pretty good and think I’ll have the strength needed to use the bike this year, next summer I don’t know. Money is a huge concern and I recently found a low mileage 07 FZ1 that I can afford. It is completely bone stock so I have some work to do on it.
I’ve been reading the threads here and increasing my knowledge of this bike. I’ll be asking some basic questions show please show some patience with me. I’ll try to keep the stupid stuff to a minimum.
thanks again,
Jim
