    XS gets a stable mate.

    Been looking at this thing for a couple of weeks,spoke to the owner on the phone an finaly got round to taking it for a ride this avo'.
    Anybody under thirty may as well stop reading now.
    It's a ZR750 Kawasaki,one owner,27000 kms.
    First impressions weren't very good but,to quite,to smooth,no tourqe.
    Then I realised I wasn't riding it,hav'nt had a four cylinder for six bikes now.
    So I drop a gear an wind it on,suddenly doing more speed than my licence would approve of,but still no noise an so smooth it's spooky.As for tourqe,well it is a four I guess so I'll get used to just smoothing off into the distance at a far greater rate of knots than the XS could dream of.
    So very happy,but Custom Chambers are getting a vist from me once the other half get's over this bit.

    Congrats Jackrat.

    A good looking traditional style bike there.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Nice choice, Jack.
    Hope the new pipe will be a megaphone, not a tractor muffler canister thingy.

    It's bright red so I might end up writing my own "how do I get out of this ticket thread"
    A new exhuast would have to be a 70-80s style four into one.
    Anyway work again.
