Back in the stone age, I had the pleasure of meeting and watching Kenny Roberts ride at Laguna Seca. He left a great impression on me. Not much later, I remember seeing a Kenny Roberts bike at one of the races. To this day, it has been one of my favorite bikes.
Fast forward a few years. Every time I went to Dan Goins' place I secretly eyed the killer KR he had sitting in the corner. After a few trips, I begged, implored and groveled to give me the chance to build such a historical bike.
He finally loaned me the frame and lo and behold, it took me forever to get it built but when I came across some Czechoslovakian made 70s Barum tires, I knew it had to be done.

As everyone knows, Dan is one of the best guys out there and I appreciate given the opportunity to put together his bike

The tires for some reason remind me of the old Class C tires that made Kenny famous. I can still see him gunning the huge 750 around the San Jose Mile
