We had a great couple of days :D More pics :) Stafford Show 1.JPG The stand + Steve and my Z1's at packing up time.... 'Zed Man' (Brown) sent me this exploded photo of who he thought was me being caught out looking at detail and rivets, or as my wife Bev just said 'being an anorak'..... :shock:.......

Welcome from me too Paul, good to see nice UK A4 - like the Duke too.

Cheers
Andrew

Now that does look steep..........

Great looking Z1R!

Good project, I particularly like the tracer rounds on the handle bar......

Welcome from me too - lovely Zed you've got there; lime green, black and white would be nice......

Why not visit the club stand at Stafford next month (13th - 14th), plenty to see and do, plus you'll probably be able to put a few faces to names on here - not always wise!!

No mate, not me, I've had my head up my arse today but will be out on the Z900 tomorrow once I've done a bit of gardening for the Memsaab!

The bike's looking great - who did the paint?

Yes Garry and I had a nice 140 mile round trip the other week, great ride out, I was on my latest project, which is also nice and clean and I got a similar comment from the Middlewich show two weeks ago, and yes I do clean mine, if only to get all Garry's two stroke oil off :lol: :lol: :lol: Yes, a...

Garry, my reply was to Simonic’s post and maybe I should have quoted it - I know you ride your bikes and keep them spotless, as I try to do.

Nice collection you've got there Philippe, but keep the GPZ with its original finishes - you wouldn't restore a piece of antique furniture would you? - and as it has been said, they're only original once.

There's a comparison test in August's Pratical Sportbikes between a 1983 Z1000R, a 2000 ZRX1100 and the 2018 Z900RS Cafe jobbie - I know which one I'd sooner own.

A stunning bike, but it must be ridden and then polished if need be and not just polished.
