ah but I didn't. I was more concerned that the thing would drop into the sea. The tax disc is out of date and on the wrong side of the bike too, and the pilot bulb is bright blue, but apart from that it's legal.  :o

I see the Wightlink ferries in the background - I was on them at the weekend. Were the pictures from Portsmouth?

Gimme £2K and you can ride my 1975 Z1 away.

It's taxed, tested, and laying 147 horses down at the rear wheel.

Wiseco 1135 top end, 38mm Mikuni Flatslides, K&N's, Harris works pipe, 50 shot NOS kit, JMC swingarm, 3 spoke mag alloys, various other bits replaced with aluminium to lighten it further.

I ran consistent low 9's at the Bulldog this year, with my fastest time being 9.05 @ 152mph.

Its also very cheap for a Z1,I used to hanker after one of those when they first came out but I wasnt quite old enough to ride afford one.

It's about the right price for one that is no longer standard.

I've ground the pegs at speeds of 70-80 through the twisties and there is no sign of it wanting to let go.

What probably scares me more than anything is the brakes, it's still on standard discs/calipers and they are next to useless when compared to modern day stuff.
