    Pretty sure the one pictured is the one which was at the Southern Classic festival - parked in the pits.
    What doesn't show up in the pics but did in the metal is the wave discs - they stood out like dogs balls and IMO spoiled the whole thing.
    Opinion was split about 50/50 like/dislike.

    The owner said he'd ordered a GS1000S copy of the Yosh ones Croz rode - and was not looking forward to the bill - around $60k.

    Couple of people talked to me about the actual cost of building a Z like that. It could be done considerably cheaper - but the name gets the premium price...

    was that on the basis of them doing the work on their own bike? Because yes, you're doing it as a hobby so your time spent is invaluable, literally.

    This is a business venture, it seems like, and so every input has to be accounted for in the output.

    Does Croz put them together himself?

    So lads, what's it worth: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used...1277351629.htm

    I personally wouldn't pay 15k for a high mileage (ugly) old Ford with a slipping transmission no matter what public servants anus had graced its seat...

    I'd go $5-6k for that, I'd much prefer an EL LTD though.

    But you did pay for it via your taxes.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    You don't get to charge an hourly rate when making bikes like that.

    I wonder. Would anyone pay to have the limo Jenny Shipley parked her arse on?
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.
