  It's not often you get to see someone turn into an Old Timer right before your very eyes. It was kind of scarey...watching that old, shakey, painful limp to the line. :o

Should get the head back anyday now. The bottom end still has to be pulled down, Cases have to be cleaned, Jugs opened up, Crank has to be balenced, then we can start building.
Chris has not got all the funds in place as yet, so he's not rushing, that will start when next season is looming.

Kawasaki 2001 ZRX 1200R is my primary ride.

I could not live with an old CB as my only ride, but as a second tinker bike. It's fun...

Bodain - are you on the ZRXOA.ORG board as well??

   Sam, The avatar is the character Bender from the animation series Futurama. He's a wise cracking, sarcastic, beer drinking anti-social robot. Except for the anti-social robot part a bit like me I suppose. ;) Once I'm computerized I plan to get a picture of my bike up as my avatar.

   I think Mr. Rieck can see you in his mirrors now. :D

Don't own one, but my dad has a Ducati Multistrada 1000DS that is, I have to say sweet!  Amazing torque and just a blast but not a very comfy riding position.

No I don't have anything newer than 1985 and that was only because it was a great deal. Whiule I do appreciate the quantum advances in power per liter, handling, braking and such, hey all appear to be generic cookie cuttered items. The fully enclosed multicolored wild graphics do nothing for me. To me a motorcycle has spoked wheels. And an exposed engine.

I agree, but I must say the mid to late 90s Ducati Monster looks, sounds and rides like a 'real' bike, if you can get used to the incredible torque from the V twin??

I have a 1983 GSX-1100 E
To me it's a modern bike, as it's younger than me  ;D

Sorry, I forgot the fact that it's still quite old  ;D
And also that I'm not a gentleman...
