Nice clean H1 that Warren! Yes it is that! I must admit I did want to change mine out too but since it doesn’t get much use I left it for now..

theres mine

Nice Bill! H1 also? They are all coming out now! Wonder how many more stashed away

Lovely looking bikes aren't they. The first of the true race reps with decent performance in every area. Full 3 years before the earliest blade.

here is my ZXR from 1992 while touring in Europe, it can be done (when much younger!) but the rear suspension nearly stopped me walking.

Cheers Lee ,i'd love your 1000 by the way

3 more weeks minimum eh.. went to refill the ale stash to last a couple more weekends.. 4 day week now working from home and holiday Monday so 4 whole days to do jobs! did a couple of bits on J.. waiting on bits.. did a bit in 750 engine.. waiting on bits. Painted the rusty old umbrella stand! Cleaned the guttering.. time to drink some of that ale and buy stuff I don’t really need on eBay

Isolation has sent me even dafter bought these today the Laverda i sold to my mate and bought it of him again with the
T140 relic he got from USA couple yr ago

Well, I've painted all the fence panels & I'm half way through cleaning the soffits, facias & gutters. Once I've done that my other outstanding house jobs involve large quantities of cash, which being self employed & out of work, I don't have.
Our local council, in their inifinate wisdom, have stopped collecting our green bins altogether, (garden rubbish) so need to keep any gardening work to a minimum. They seem to think we can just dump it in the garden until this corona virus thing is all over !! Unbelieveable !!
So, might have to take the bike out for an airing. A tank of petrol is much chealer than doing our en-suite !!

Started work on this half finished z900 resto which was picked up from a guy in Germany.

I had a zxr750 H1 when they first came out, from Keith Parnell near Falmouth, with its race looks and handling. Felt like a rocket to me at the time with 105bhp. It was a bit heavy on the wallet, 3k before needing yet another rear tyre

Hankered after the later single seat K version but couldn't stretch the finances. Finally got one 7yrs ago, as an ex track bike, which started me on restoration projects:

very nice boys

Finished washing my facias & soffits this morning, then changed the oil in my Triumph

Lovely sounding bikes them triumphs. I worked at a local dealer when the first Daytonas came out and road test always involved the through the tunnel route

Passed my time today stripping cleaning and setting up my Triumph TR6c clutch and giving the cases a little
clean
