Couple of Moto Martin Z1000s

Pretty sure that 2nd Moto Martin was in Streetbike.
I have it somewhere.

Both of them are out of Streetbike; the black one from reader's rides issue 32 and the other was featured in issue 31.
The Rickman was aswell, issue 13. Had 2 good fold out posters from early 80s mags a few yrs back....treasured them but were stolen
CBX6 powered Egli and a GPZ1100 powered Moko. Got a big article somewhere on FBI (Fast Bikes International) and their Egli kits featured a supercharged GPZ11 being put through its paces

Just a spurious tale...was riding a K100 2 up in Switzerland in the 90s. Getting comfortable pushing the envelope on their engineered alpine roads - folding up the pegs, getting used to the kidney punches etc. Until I was passed by a gaggle of 70s vintage jappers - like I was taking tourist photos Kinda killed my happy mood until i caught up with them at a cafe later. Think there was 4 Egli frames, a Ken MacIntosh and a couple I didnt recognise. Every one of them were prime examples of functional artisans.
Who said art history lessons have to be in the classroom?
