On 11/18/2018, I turned in front of traffic at a stoplight and was hit by an unlicensed driver. He had a green light but I thought I could make it on a flashing arrow. Wrong move on my part. I paid for it with a broken leg and groin injury we don't talk about in mixed company.
Anyway, I am now recovered and moved on to building digital pinball machines instead.
Up for sale is my 2001 Kawasaki Concours 1000 (ZG1000) in good/fair condition.
2001 Kawasaki Concours zg1000
condition: fair
engine displacement (CC): 987
fuel: gas
odometer: 112378
paint color: blue
title status: clean
transmission: manual
The bike needs different front forks, a headlight lens, a left turn signal, and some TLC. All side plastics have cracks in them
Fluids are good. Front brake pads were changed recently. New rear pads have not gone on yet.
The Michelin tires have less than 1,000 miles on them. I actually bought them coming home from the National Rally in summer 2018 so there is lots of life in them.
I have 2 keys for the ignition and multiple keys for the luggage. I have a clear WI Title in my name ready to be signed off (once funds clear or cash paid).
