Rain Ride with a New Rider

[flynrider]

Looks like a great first trip. Nothing like a bit of weather to highten the sense of adventure

I can relate to your friends affinity for the old KZ. My first bike was also a well worn KZ400 that took me all over the Western U.S. They are tough machines and with a little effort, you can get them running like new. If he hasn't done it already, have him visit the late Odd Ivar's site at KZ400.com (an amazing resource for the bike). There are also quite a few very helpful KZ400 restorers at KZRider.com.
