'82 KZ 440 - yep

Meet Blossom...............
1982 KZ 440 has been handed down through a long line of first time female riders
given to me with a condition: gift it to the next woman/lady/girl/grrl with her MSF class card in need of a great little beater first bike

NEW: tires, throttle cable, tach cable, speedo cable
Tags good to Sept

Condition: She's been around the block but she's a total champ

FREE to the first female to show up with her MSF card and an M1 license
(we are in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">oakland</st1lace></st1:City> ca)

Hope you enjoy the ride and will consider continuing the gift tradition when you're ready to move on yourself
Happy Riding!

That is WAY too cool!

Oh my god! That is so awesome of you to do that! I salute you!

My wife would be a perfect candidate, as she's finally getting back into riding after a 20+ year haitus, and I wouldn't dream of letting her back onto a bike without taking the MSF course.

Unfortunatly, we're in Florida, so we'll pass, but again, I salute you for a noble cause!!

Bump for extreme coolness!

MUST SAY,YOU HAVE TOO BE THE COOLIST PEPS EVER

thanks for all the pings! here's hoping the bike finds a happy home!

Wow, that's really cool!

Hope the bike finds a new temporary home introducing another new rider to the ranks.

Excellent!!

Very cool!!!

That is a great idea! Kudos to you for doing this (and I might just steal your idea, too).

Isn't this exactly what you were looking for, Mike? Or did you already find a small 2-wheeler for the wife?

It is; Oaktown's a bit far though. Actually, we have a different solution now but her issues in finding something appropriate to ride for a month or 3 made me think this idea would work for lots of people.

you are THE SHIT!!!!

if my girl had her MSF and M1 we'd be there, but that'll be in the near future.

"We Salute You"

from all the Lady Riders in the area. Way to go, Oakland girl!

Thanks for passing on the tradition and I hope to see that ride sometime when I ride up to the local "wall" Oakland hills moto hangout. Has it got any special stickers on it or anything?

It sure would be fun to do a documentary on the owners of the handed down bike. Is there a blog or something?

bike went to a great couple - husband on a duc, wife just starting up, excellent! (still waiting on a photo)
have to say again, the response from the adv community was AWESOME unlike other boards I will not mention (hello jr high school!)

very happy on my lovely 02 f650 gs (the'budgiebike' as our brit friends call them)

happy riding to all!

Awesome to see something like this!! What a fantastic way to spead cycling!
cant wait to see pics of the new couple.

That bike started its girl to girl journey with my ex-girlfriend (about ten years back), though it was the woman she sold it to who made it a gift bike. If there are old copies or online copies of the December 2009 Urban Moto (cover photo of Jesus being dominated by a Christmas elf while strapped to a '71 BMW R75 in camo paint), Tasha Welch wrote an article about becoming the latest owner of the Mighty 440 on page 14. It's her hubby who has the Ducati. So, at this point, all the threads could still be strung together. In the photo, it looks like the left fork seal needs some attention, but otherwise, the 440 looks great! You'll know the bike if you see it because it has a flower painted on the tank....
