local run on the Z1000

I had a trip over to the bikers café at South Queensferry overlooking the Forth Bridge today, there were huge amounts of tourists, I didn't take pics when there as tbh, it's predominately Harley based, and not a great deal of Japanese classics, but all very good humoured and the old girl got some attention.

Just took a couple of snaps, nice to get my electric starter again, thanks Pete!

I guess that's the view point up on the 904 Dave, some impressive views up there.

Spot on Kev, there is just a small layby outside Newton village but it frames the three bridges really nicely.

I also had a quick run back down to the Hawes on my ELR later on, it's amazing the difference fitting B7 plugs on the outer cylinders has made, I now have a perfect plug colour mix on 2, 3 and 4, the l/h no1 is still a bit rich, but I reckon that cylinder has a bit of an oil burning problem, (and always has, it was the one that used to foul on start up) but compared to the previous running issues, it is like night and day.

It really has been a curious issue, and it might be a bit of a cop out but at £4 a plug and for the occasional run, I can live with it

Great pics. You have given me even more motivation to get my Z1000 back on the road.
