WHAT A TRIP. I ve been bellhoppin’ part-time about a year now, and I never saw
a guest roll up on a motorcycle before. It blew me out because he was ridin’ what I’ve
been wantin’ to buy—a new KZ900. And, man, that bike really looked classy, like it
belonged right out front.
Anyway, I got to the curb about ten steps ahead of the other guys and said, “Wel-
come, let me take your things and how do ya like your bike?”
“Super,” he said. And all the way up to his room I asked him everything 1 could
think of. Is theKZ900 the sameasaZ-1? (Yes and better.) What’s it got new on it? (New
set of matched carbs, audible turn signals, safety flashers, cushier seat—those kinds of
nifty touches.) What’s the engine like? (You can’t do better than the Z’s 903cc DOHC
Four.) Where’s he been? (Touring half way across the country.)
Then I stalled around, showing him how to open the curtains and turn on the
lights, so I could ask more questions. Like, what was the best time he’s had so far? (On
the bike, having no place to go and lots of time to get there; off the bike, in Santa Cruz
with a very together lady named Linda.)
And after we talked about performance—I mean the bike’s—I figured I’d better
split. And goin’ down the elevator, I decided when I buy a KZ900,
somebody’s gunna carry my things into a place like this, and
Kawasaki
he’sgettin’ two bucks like I did. I mean, that’s class.
lets the good times roll.
