Z1OwnersClub GB

Hi everyone

After a 33 year hiatus, I decided to get another bike. All of my close friends have continued to ride and have eventually persuaded me to return to two wheels. The last bike I owned was a rather 'gawdy' Z1B (Reg No: JMF 143N ). My 'new ride' is a rather lovely 1978 U.S import, KZ1000 A2, that has had a few mods and a custom paint job (pics to follow) although some of these "mods" will be changed during the next few months. First things first is to get her running smoothly as there are a few issues, which I suspect may be expensive! Historical vehicles are not cheap to run / maintain but isn't that half the point? I do like to tinker - it becomes a hobby in itself - and I can see that my new hobby will have me with my hands in my pockets regularly.

Anyway, Hello to everyone out there and I hope I can get along to some of the 'gatherings' soon.

Steve

Those calipers have gotta go!

Very nice, another zed on uk roads !

Thanks for the welcome guys and I'm surprised at the amount of "local members" - Farnham, Farnbronx (I like that ) and Wokingham being the nearest.

Unfortunately, she isn't running too great so I have booked her in with Mark Hutton, at Lindford, to have a look-see.

Apart from the colour of the calipers it looks good...

I dont use the term lightly Steve.
This was the view from my bedroom window at 3.30 am when the fire brigade kicked the front door in and had me in a headlock, starkers, whilst evacuating us to the church hall. Took five hours to put it out and i had to break into my own house to get a woolly hat and a pint of milk about 5.00 am whilst not being seen by the fifty guys with 'dont run me over' jackets outside my front door!
