It was a good show Retro. I seems to be getting bigger every year.

By the time I check out the show then the car park I've had enough. It's almost to much to take in all at once for me.

Yes, I actually drove past at around 11am, cops and speed traps everywhere...   It looked packed

Personally I would love to get my hands on a Kawi 900

You should do it! Trust me, you won't regret it. 

I can't tell a lie. I would love to have a Z1 in my garage also.

Ok Stev-o I know you have to be getting tired and bored with that old Z1 by now. So you ready to let it go When donkeys fly right. Haha

When pigs fly, actually DHall!    As much as I love to ride the Z1, I've really enjoyed riding the H1 lately.  Great bike around town whereas the Z1 is more suited for the open highway.

Yeah Retro, cops everywhere, we took a wrong turn on the way and came across even more of them..

Stev-o , My mates son rode his dads Z1B to the show and told his dad it's gutless, couldn't stop and handled like a bag of spuds.
bloody kids.

Well, if he is comparing it to modern sport bikes, he's prolly right.

He was certainly comparing it to modern sports bikes.  When i'm on my CB  I think it's slow etc etc

and i wouldn't have it any other way. I love it when people come up and say nice bike or I had one 30 years ago.

Ive been asked a few times if I restored it and when I tell them its original they are amazed.  It's my pose bike and my pride and joy.

Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK. They have all the cool Vans and the cool sayings. "Giving it the berries" and "Giving it the proper beans". I love it.

Actually I've never heard of either of those sayings. A much more often used one is 'thrashing the fcuk out of it!' but I don't think we have the monopoly on that one
