Sorting through some stuff ready for the move found this picture of an old friend of mine when I lived in Switzerland 80/82.
1979 Kawasaki Z900.

Hey nice picture Nibby.
Mine was a 76 Z1a metallic blue with a cafe racer seat 4 into 1 system loved it and wish I still had it if only to look at.

Fs1e
RD250
RD400
(20 yr gap)
Kawasaki 500
Suzuki 750
Honda VFR800
Suzuki bandit 1200

Given them up now though , I was very much full safety gear, by the time I'd reached my 50s and got it all on , then the bike out of the garage I'd lost interest

I say given them all up but I still have a soft spot for the XJR1300 in Kenny Roberts yellow64429
When I was 16 I was too young to sign the finance for the fs1e so my dad went in to do it , the yellow and black one I wanted got upgraded to a DX in red because it had a disc brake and a separate 2 stroke tank
You wouldn't think it would be possible to be disappointed getting a bike at 16 but inside I was gutted, all smiles and thanks on the outside though , my mum was totally against it as I suppose most mums are

I’ve been trying to get my bike out for a few weeks now but the weather is truly crappy. I could wash it when i get back but I’m just too lazy!

This global warning thing isn’t really doing what it says on the tin!

Her heels are like a side stand on a bike they will sink in and she and the bike fall over hence the board Andy :)

Ah right....Do you don't want to ride her then Phil....Sorry about those rude thoughts....
