Just noticed you got 2 x Z Kwackers... 8)

Oh How I used to dream about them when they first came out, spent hours sat on them in the Kwacker shop in Cowick St Exeter... :roll:

Can't see one on E-bay without considering buying it... One day... :P

Hi layne yes been a member of Z1OC for just over 3 years now, and maver-nick always wanted a Z1000 when i was 18 and saw one,but couldnt afford one, over the years had a steady stream of twins triples and fours but still hankered after one then about 3 years ago saw one on the drive of a house, been stood for nearly 9 years but i had to have it, it realy was a pile of crap got it for £400 spent £1,200 on it over 2 years, it helps im a metal polisher by trade and worked for a plating firm, then sadly end of october last year got rear ended at a junction my immaculate 78 Z1000A2 written off!!!. Insurance put a pre accident value of £3,000 on it minus a £300 salvage so i got it back plus a cheque for £2,700
its cost me about £500 to repair it, its repaired now just got to pick the bodywork up from the painter saturday week at donnington classic bike show, it dont perform or handle like a modern sports bike and ive had a few of those but the buzz i get from riding that big Z is priceless where ever its parked it draws a crowd i love the thing!!!!!
