Newbie In The North East

#1 PostAuthor: bigclive » Wed Nov 13, 2019 6:30 pm

Got myself registered on the site today! Bought a Z900 A4 a couple of weeks ago. Love it! Not pristine concours resto but a great ridable motorcycle. Will be looking to find out more about my bike's heritage, and subtly upgrade the couple of parts needing improved. I've been a (Harley) rider for 25 years but there's room for different experiences in my life! Only previous encounter with a 70's Zed was when my brother (a journalist) brought home a Z650 on a test ride. I needed a shot. I fell off. Bloody Bridgestone (plastic) tyres... hope not to replicate that!

Welcome

Nice looking A4.

Apparently there 'isn't' a law agains't riding a "pristine concours resto" and they ride just as great when they are shiny and clean.....Honest.
