Its starting to grow on me now though. The first time I rode it I thought to myself.... " "why the fcuk did I buy this" :lol: :lol: :lol: as its a bit slower away from the lights than a H2. I have also given up trying to change gear with the brake lever now :roll:


I never had any trouble switching between my Trumpet & Jap bikes.... tho' the Trumpet is r/h change, it is Up for Up which helps :wink:

I did run my Z1000A2 with "race pattern" gear shift for a day - but after nearly fookin' the gear box, swiftly changed it back again :oops:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

You can never have too many tools in your life, except the two legged variety

I'm never wrong, once I thought I was but I was

The trailer is called a PAV 41 (pronounced Paf) they also do a Pav 40, made in eastern europe before the wall came down, damn hard to find now, and going for good money.
I restored the one you se above.
