I have always loved this site and I have been a regular watcher for years. Some of the bikes and skills of the bike builders is inspiring. :D

I have posted a new thread in "The Bottom Shed" which should you see it explains that I need to move some of my current non Kawasaki sh*t (not really) to make a space for a zed sized bike. My dream is to one day be in the grown up "Projects" section. :D

So, hello everybody, I hope that you are all well and enjoying your bikes.

Hi Tony, nice to speak to you as it were, once again. :D

You may have worked out that the thing I am starting this thread with is "my" Inazuma GSX.

The bike has been passed between my friend and myself twice. He bought it, got into a finacial problem so I bought it from him acting like a "friend" pawn broker. Once he was back on his feet he took it back but then had a change of heart so a deal was done to make it mine. Properly. I did not need it but the deal was good without taking the mickey so cash changed hands.
Another project that I will showing soon enough (that will be for sale) is my recently acquired nitrous Hayabusa. I'll safe the story about this one for another time other than to say for now that the busa was hideous to look at. A shell suit on wheels! :ghostface
He it is with it's previous owner.

The Busa is being built into a kind of Yoshimura X1 replica. It has lightweight Marchesini wheels along with Brembo calipers and a whole lot more, so once done should be a cracking bike for a busa fan. In theory this should get me onto the Kawasaki zed ownership ladder. :D
