Every now & then an old classic pops it's head up to be seen, well today at work myself & a colleague were told to head out to pick up a couple roadbikes that needed servicing.
So given the day was a beauty we're given directions and we're off to enjoy the time away from the workshop.
Upon arriving at the place we park the truck up to load the bikes on, walk into the garage spot the two hiding under covers, mmm yummy as the cover rolls off the Z1R (totally original albeit for the poxy tranzac 4-1) which is totally dead in the water (so to speak) and a 94 ZZR11 (just needs a straight service). Bloody heavy tanks to wheel up onto a Nissan atlas truck
Spotted a dual seat for a Ducati 900ss hanging on the wall & mentioned it to the owner and in return was ushered inside the house to the lounge to see a mint(I mean eat your dinner off it, it's that clean !) 78' wire wheel Ducati 900ss sitting proud as punch along one wall (hope to get a couple of pics when the Zeds are returned).
The amusing thing though about the whole deal is these bikes are all owned by a middle aged woman (good on her I say!, but definately not the usual thing you expect with a line-up like that).
Here's a pic of the Z1R anyhowthere's a good chance it may become a display bike for the shop once it's cleaned up & we con the boss to waving some coin at the owner & trackdown a original pipe for it

probably saw what damage they could do & was shit scared of it so nailed it to the wall as a reminder
