Classic collectable rolled into work today

[sAsLEX]

whatever the the bike, it should be out on the road not stuck on display.


Its a shame to see classic machines just sitting there doing nothing.

What better end to a dead bike though than sitting proud as punch in the lounge!

HOw do you know its not running ? Could just drive it in the back door down the hallway past the ktichen and it to the lounge and have it living there instead of some cold damp garage!

That Z1R is regularly used machine, and the 900ss had a current rego plate on it so I'd say it would be used on special occasions.

If the 900ss was mine it would only be brought out on very special occasions, and apart from being hard task masters to live with the thought of risking a classic like that whilst having more liveable mounts at you disposal just isn't right. You've got to respect a machine like that for what it is not just it's image. The MHR Mille I had wasn't an every day mount but it got used but it was a hard beast to live with

That Gal has taste. Can you ask her who her cleaner is, mine is getting a bit slack.



You mean it's not normal! Damn

This woman is pretty full-on the house is a big old villa & is about halfway through a restoration so she's got her hands full.

If it was me in that situation both the Z1R & the 900ss would be inside the garage is as old as the house, no doors & a dirt floor. The only thing keeping the Z1R & ZZR 11 from view is the car parked in front of them

Yeah it's definitely drool material, but Greg started his in two kicks from stone cold. He's done a beautiful job on it! He's done 10,000k's in ten years on it! Most of that was the SI trip!

How long ago did he do the SI trip I remember talking to a guy on a green frame "replica" a few years back in Moorhouse ave, he was travelling with a guy on a Guzzi

I used to do just over 8000km year on my Darmah, as long as you are prepared to pay (time and money) to maintain the Bike properly there aren't any reliability problems

Quite likely was Greg, I think it was a few years ago. I'll be catching up with him next week, so I'll ask him. Don't think he's had it out for a while, but he does ride it occaisionally. Anyone got an idea how much it'd be worth? I'll ask him that as well.

Gutted The owner of the Z1R came & picked it and the ZZR up on the weekend, so didn't get to return the bikes personally and give the 900ss a good looking over

Got the Z1R running sweet as a nut after new coils & points, along with a total strip & rebuild of the carbs plus some other bits n pieces and dialing everything in. So the owner is wrapped apparently, I know it went well when I tested it out after finishing, just that bloody pipe lets it down (whoever put it on the bike needed a damn good ).

Just phone them and ask if you can have a look at the bike.

That's a bugger.

Oh BTW Bill, the ZX-10 is coming along well in it's restoration mode. Still a long way to go though.

Once my oldgirl is back in action I'll shoot up there for a blast & hopefully get some pics

how many times does $42 go into the cost of replacement sliders though
