I was hoping to! There's few more planes up on pedestals too, as well as a giant missile from the cold war, all on display outside the museum. As long as he makes it this far North!

Had to get some fresh air in my face so I found a lonely country road. Since adding another SOHC4 to my collection Ive been pretty much preoccupied with it all week checking it out and getting a parts list together. Its going to be a while yet before you see the KO out on the road. I had to take a break so I jump on my 750K6. This bike runs and rides so good  I just enjoy riding it. I can't see my self ever selling her. I hope I enjoy the KO just as much as I have my K6.

Just a couple of burnouts and slow-rolling action shots for my buddys blog. There was an instructor for a MC safety class that wasnt too happy with the examples we were setting for his students. Oh well.
To be honest I am not sure about the exhaust. It doesnt have any markings but resembles a Kerker. Its loud and gets compliments all the time on the sound. It came with the bike when I bought it.
