I have visiting rights!

[Ratti]

Finally, the big day arrived.

got home from work and shortly afterward my 'early 80's Z1000Ltd arrived in the driveway. I was not expecting this and was slightly overwhelmed by it! Sadly, I do feel somewhat like a non-custodial parent with weekend visiting rights as I am under instructions to not take it out of town and to have it back at the mechanics on Monday.

Still...this has been a moment I've been waiting on since mid 2007, so I'll take my joys where I can thankyouverymuch!

I'll post some pix on Sunday just to prove that it really happend.

yippee!

Nice. I take it there's a rebuild to complete, what's still to do?

I think he has worked his way down the list and has carbs and maybe starter motor still to sort out properly. Not sure really.

At this stage- who fricken cares? I have it for the weekend!

Suspect the carbs at least are tolerably important.

Hope you get some miles on it tomorrow eh?

[Ratti]

ya think? Sadly, am unable to ride tomorrow as I have a commitment, but all on for Sunday, rain, hail or shine!

sssh Wickle, that's our private secret man!

[Ratti]

Just got back from first outing on Z#4...If I were a regular smoker, I'd be lying back with a ciggy and a grin! Dayam that was good!

[Max Headroom]

Good news, Ratti.

Now, where are the pics you promised?

[Ratti]

Working on the pics. But good news is that Henry is home to stay.
Well until he breaks down and has to visit the mechanic again anyway.

Has had a thorough inspection of some very private bits, replaced bits that needed it ( and some which didn't ) and is so nice to ride with modern shocks!
Big grin and a very happy rodent!
