Sun out, couldn't resist a pic of my old girls
« on: February 06, 2020, 04:21:46 PM »
Sun was out today, so rolled the old girls out of the garage for a polish, a photo and breath of fresh air, even though the K1 wasn't fully dressed for the occasion......

Cheers, Andrew

Look good,  was a fabulous era for bikes.

Seeing your Kawasaki there,  I may have seen and spoken to you at Newlands corner about 18 months ago there. Parked within the main bike area front facing the trees,  pipes to the downhill but more or less central in that area?  think I was admiring the original pipe set.

Thanks all, appreciate your comments.

All I can do until July is tinker and polish, polish and tinker but hopefully July be here before I know it.

K2-K6, yes it was a great era for bikes and I'm glad I was part of it. I do get up to Newlands Corner (Guildford) and usually park over by the cafe so it's very possible we have spoken, although my Z900 pipes are the excellent Doremi replicas.

Phil, Z1/Z900 prices have been going mad, although they seemed to have slowed down recently which is a good thing as it means more realistic prices are being asked. Still a lot of Chancers trying to sell old tat for high prices though.
