Hi, I registered yesterday... just dropping a line here.
I'm Leon, 32 years old from The Netherlands.
I've been riding for 8 years now. First bike was a 1989 GPZ600r. After that a 1992 ZX-11/ZZ-R1100 C-model. A great bike. Blew the enigine and rebuilt it. Dropped it and got a new paint job... 2 weeks later I blew the engine completely and got me a 2002 ZX-12r midnight bleu/gold in july 2004. Dropped that one last november and still rebuilding... should be done in 2 weeks from now.

Hi folks, new to the forum here, just signed up a few days ago.

First started riding in 1961. A dozen or so bikes later, I'm on a 2003 Concours. I've gone in and out of motorcycling, although always had one (and up to four at a time) in the garage.

I bought one of the first Honda CB-750's to come into California in July of 1969 and rode the livin' crap out of that bike. Hardly a day went by that I didn't hit redline many times. Put 56,000 miles on a Yamaha XS-1100 until my first divorce. Then I needed something lighter to ride solo and got a 1985 Honda CB700SC Nighthawk S (still have it).

Most unusual motorcycle I've owned was an early 60's Honda CR-110 road racer. I happened to find it for sale in the San Jose Mercury of all places. Bought it for $350.00, raced it once and sold it to a collector for $7,500.00 twenty years later.

Now, as a mechanical engineer I have designed a spin-on oil filter adaptor kit for the Concours. As it turns out, it will fit many other Kawasaki models directly. Going for model-by-model qualification right now. Check out my website at www.bergmenengineering.com for more info.

Any questions on this kit, please do not hesitate to contact me, I will be glad to help any way I can.

JMHO

Dan
