    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.....
