2025-05-18 Distinguished Gentlemans Ride in SLO

Post by dcarver »

Rode the 1979 Kz1300 to the Distinguished Gentlemans Ride in SLO. It was the only Kz1300 there. Imagine that. There were two Vincents and a shitload of British bikes. With only two Vincents, does that make the Kz rarer than Vincents? :lol:

Enjoyed the video as always.

Let's be real: NOBODY associates ANY rider of a KZ1300 as "Distinguished". And NOBODY associates Carver riding ANYTHING as "Gentlemenly". But alas, like many mysteries in life, things ain't always what they seem....

Right on, my friend....
