That's one crazy rear wheel! Looks like he welded 3 rear together.


Seen a few Z1300's around Christchurch - all clean tidy examples. The fetch reasonable coin now.


What I find amusing is I remember looking over one when they were first released and thinking they were huge. Looking at them now they are relatively small bikes by comparison to some of today's giants.

After seeing her in action, I suspect Rachel has borrowed them.

Doug died tragically did'nt he? Can't remember how? From memory he ran electric motors on the front wheel to keep it spinning for the gyro effect, or was that the pommy bloke who went round the Isle of Man? Memory stick is fading.....

Hahaha...I'll suss her out! Yeah can't remember how he died. But yes, he used to run a wee motor in the front wheel of his KX250...his fav bike of the time!

[Katman]

Yeah can't remember how he died.

Microlight accident.

Helll No.
I tried it a few weeks ago on the GS1000, and crapped myself. The 1300 is like 50% bigger again. No, hell no, no farken way.

But...it'd be fun to give it one wee try maybe :P

Believe it or not...it ain't shopped! He used to tear the tail light lens out of the Z1300 and bring it back to earth.

ok, heading well off topic....can anyone remember the name of that chick in the 80's, used to tow her road race bike to manfield on the back of her XJ900?

[Katman]

Karel Pavich.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Had to be!

Doug Domokos? Bloody legend!

I saw him do a wheelie both up and down the steepest road in San Francisco over parked cars both ways not touching the ground with his feet even once on the show 'That's Incredible' hosted by Fran Tarkinton, Cathy Lee Crosby and John Davidson.

Karel Pavich.

She went out with/married a bloke I loosely new. Lester was his name. Worked as a mechanic for Vinsens when they were on Beach Rd in the mid to late 80's. Nice guy.

[jaffaonajappa]

Don't feed the trolls please people.

XJ900s wheelie not too bad. The new XTZ1200 is farken phenominal for wheelies. Once you turn the TC off........
