Hello from Reading UK

#1 PostAuthor: Darren H » Thu Aug 01, 2019 9:59 pm

Hi I've just joined the club.
I have a 1977 z1000 A1 and an OCT 1972 Z1. It has been off the road for 10 years. Looking forward to getting back on the road.
This forum certainly looks like the place for some good advice.
Looks like Some very helpful and knowledgeable people on here.
Thanks for allowing me to Join

Darren

Good enough. Both bikes look very tidy. What's your plans for them?

The z1000 is currently in the process of an engine rebuild.
The z1 needs a top end rebuild and possibly a paint job.
Apart from that I'll just clean up what's there.
They don't warrant a full restoration . I like the old bikes to look there age but well cared for.
