Hi all - new member in Surrey
Hi All,
I never really know what to put on these "intro" posts, so here's some stuff about me.
I recently joined the forum after lurking around as a guest for some months, after a couple of mates with Zeds put me onto the forum. I didn’t have a Zed back in the day and I still don’t have one now, but there’s something about a big aircooled Kwak that stirs the soul
I have a pair of aircooled GPzs in the garage – a 1982 550 (which I’ve owned from new) and a 1982 750. The 550 has been off the road for a few years and is awaiting a rebuild. The 750 is a special with different frame, running gear, big bore kit, CR carbs, etc. I also have a 1977 KH400 which is a little rough around the edges, but is great fun to ride.
I have found a lot of useful information for my own bikes/projects on this forum and hope to be able to contribute something along the way.
Mark.

Thanks for the welcome everyone
Sounds good to me, Swampy. Are there many forum members down this neck of the woods ?
Yes Dave, that was me. Thoroughly enjoyed Cadwell - can't make this year as it clashes with a family wedding But I will be at Donington for the CBT Trackday and 4 Hour endurance
Any Kwak is alright by me I'm in Croydon maybe we could meet up at bow hill or similar when spring finally gets here

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum, are you by chance the owner of the rather delightful P&M that was parked up opposite my ZXR750 at Cadwell last year?

Apologies Mark for not making the connection. I believe i was talking at you through one of Pluto's bacon sarnies at Cadwell. I was the Blue 1000J parked across the path from you.
I didnt photo youre bike and regretted it. Any chance you could help out there. I know its a faff so i hesitate to ask.
See you at Donnington.

Hi Al - no worries. It was good to chat with you & Dave at Cadwell. I thought some of the Zed owners I spoke to would be on here somewhere.
I'll try to post a couple of photos, but I currently don't have a photo hosting account anywhere and I'm not paying PB to do it !

Dont bother with PB in my opinion its an absolute waste of time. If you trust me, e-mail it and i'll put it up. I use PB but that situation wont last forever.
By the way; Darin and Rob (owner / operators of CBT ) are on here as well.

Welcome from me too Mark (Farnham, Surrey), I've had a number of Zeds in years gone by, but got back into biking last year and bought a 93 FireBlade - will be on the hunt for a good Z900 when the planets align...........
Cheers
Andrew

Al - Thanks for offering to put up the picture of my 750 for me. In the end, I re-enabled my old Imagshack account. It cost a few quid, but at least it means the photos I've posted on other forums will reappear !
Anyway, here is the 750 at Cadwell
And the 550 awaiting a rebuild
