Kawasaki KMX 125

This is me in 2003 with my Kawasaki KMX 125.
It is a water-cooled off road motorcycle which I found to be also very good for street riding. It runs so fast like a turbo-charged machine and can endure very long distance travel. We have been together for less than three years travelling along the streets of the beautiful city of Cagayan de Oro and its nearby towns and municipalities especially along the coastal road of Misamis Oriental, the northern part of Mindanao, Philippines. I've loved this bike, all its features, except for being a two-stroked engine bike which is very good for off road competition. But I do not compete, I only love to ride. So one day, I had to let it go with a plan to replace it with a four-stroked engine motorcycle.

Kawasaki Z400

This is an image of a Kawasaki Z400 motorcycle. My first motorcycle is exactly like this bike, however, its color was green. I bought it from a friend in 1984 after I resigned from my job as a cost accounting staff of Nippondenso, Phils. I rode it for almost three years in the busy streets of the cities of Makati and Manila not to mention some of my trips in the provinces of Luzon, until I finally sold it in 1987. I don't have any documented story about my Z400 except for all the memories of the joys and happiness it had brought into my life. They linger in my mind and these memories make me craves for motorcycles.
