New Here...well, in Australia

#1 PostAuthor: davidz1b » Fri Jan 18, 2019 3:12 am

Hi everyone. Long story short. Last Z owned was a Z650 back in the 70's, never made it to the 900! But now I have time, I'm restoring a Z1B which has been going for 6 years! About 80% complete, every nut and bolt. Don't have as many services here in Australia as you do in the UK, so it's a bit harder to get things done. (In fact, some parts are with Smethurst now as I couldn't find the same standard here!) I also have a Z1 which will be the next project, and it definitely won't take 6 years, I've learnt a lot. Am also on the lookout for a Z1A. Appreciate any future help you give me.

From not owning a Z900 'back in the day'to now almost having a complete set of Z1's is quite an achievement, well done and welcome.

Welcome from me too, distance is no barrier where Zeds are concerned - there's lots of advice to be found on here, some of it even good....... :lol:
