Please don’t laugh

#1 PostAuthor: damien.wrl » Mon Aug 24, 2020 9:09 pm

On this forum full of testosterone fuelled , knee down, flies in the teeth warriors I find myself a tad whimpish...
My new toy has arrived, came a day early but I love it... Registered the in the same year/month as my Mk2 Golf Gti ,it’s 32 years old and has done 2300 miles... going to semi strip it down and have a good deep clean, not a huge project not much else to do really ..

Please meet the shopping cart ..

No laughing here - Fab bikes and easily the best at 'what they do' hence their sales success around the world.

You could even ride up to Z-power in Lancashire to collect your resto parts - would probably be cheaper than postage. :lol:

Brilliant bikes. Used as runabouts to shops, bike club etc. so I didn't rot the exhausts on my Z1-B doing short runs. In the day I c50's, C70's and C90's, including a 1962 C102 (50cc with electric start!) which I paid a tenner for in 1975. Saw one go a while back for £2000!

That is spotless, you could wind the miles back to zero, stick a 2020 plate on it and tell everyone it was an unregistered find, no-one would question it.

I don't see anyone laughing at all, cracking discovery.

My mate had one , it was like Triggers broom, it had a couple of engines and a frame. To this day when asked he will say it was the best bike he ever had, and he only rides bike as he doesn’t have a car licence.
