What's a Z-1?
« on: November 22, 2012, 10:59:03 AM »




I love this thing! I finally got around to restoring and riding this critter. Fast reliable and comfy; what more could you ask? Plus I've ridden it for thousands of miles without once seeing another one. ;D ;D ;D

Z-1=  http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/kawasaki/kawasaki_z1%2072.htm

Still very sought after and HARD to find!!! Even the early (77/78) KZ1000 are hard to find.

I hope you guys don't really think I'm not familiar with Z1s! It's like the deer crossing thread I did awhile ago; tongue firmly in cheek. ;)

Explanation accepted!!
But with the same tongue in cheek, you have some that ask what does SOHC stand for or why is the DOHC Honda nicknamed as a TWINKIE!!!

I've always used "twinkie" in reference to a twin-cam 88. And what's your tongue doing in my cheek? ;D

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
