Left just after sunrise for a good run home through some marvellous countryside. If you're planning on a visit down under I highly recommend a tour of our south west. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Total Km for the trip = 1,891km ( 1,175 miles ) image.jpeg image.jpeg

Straight forward 400km run to Albany today for the new front tyre. image.jpeg It was perfect riding weather, mid 20's a tail wind and the sun on my back. ( not rubbing it in honest..) image.jpeg There was a 20km gravel road detour which made things interesting but fun. image.jpeg image.jpeg After th...

Yes Warren it's hard with this sun



But my biggest dilemma is that the front Pirelli has gone
off big time.



I have sourced a new one so a gentle 500km ride over to Albany for a replacement tomorrow. Thanks to Albany Motorcycles

Made it to Esperance, a few minor glitches raising their head but nothing to be too concerned about.
Today's pics for you lot up there.

Stunning , the wave rock looks like a massive wall of death. Keep them coming just what we need to see on a miserable day in Blighty :D I sympathise with you, the weather here is shite too....... Apparently image.jpeg image.jpeg And to give perspective to the wave image.jpeg & its goodnight fro...

Here's another rock near the Wave Rock. They call it - Hippos Yawn. You work it out , lol

image.jpeg image.jpeg The Mkii took offence at me riding my non Zed and threw a tantrum this morning. She flooded herself and tried to flatten her battery so much that it took the trusty kick starter to get her mobile then on the shake down a main fuse went. Was it an omen, who knows but what the h...

We seem to spend so much of our time here showing, discussing and researching about the rebuilds of these wonderful machines and not so much about being out and about enjoying them as they were intended to be. So here goes a plan I have for this week.The 'Plan' is a somewhat loose plan. I have a few...

Another Zed bloke on the other side of the country was offloading some parts to finance his J project so figured I'd grab them and see what I could use on the A1. Thinking I might go the mags and leave the wire wheels in the shed for now. Rotors are 6mm without grooves and will totally rebuild and r...

Have decided to replace the lot, why gamble. And if I'm going to order from overseas I may as well fill the box with some other gear.

Took me a while to find this thread, didn't realise its been that long. Its been a wet long winter down here but finally getting some decent weather to lift the covers off things and getting the drive back to continuing down the rebuild road. Barrels have been measured, honed and cleaned up. Head wo...

Somewhere along the line the camshaft bushings have been blasted, don't ask me how or where they were but it has happened. I put it down to going senile..... Question to the masses, are they best in pairs i.e. do I have to buy the total 16 of them or can I just get the 8 that are rough as guts and p...

All the good stuff is 'up there' ....

Selling the Luminous Navy Blue body set i got from Doremi. Been n the bike for a year and has a couple of wounds namely a chip on top of the tank from a wayward rock, chip on the from curve from mechanic hitting it against the steering lock when removing and a few light scratches that will buff out....

Put the original paint set back on the MkII and Im kind of liking the black theme. Was always going to use the original set just wanted to work out if the Blue was ok or stay with the black. Either way I have found out a painter on the other side of the country who does repro Luminous Blue. Probably...
