Finally back on the road.
« on: May 08, 2009, 10:16:30 AM »
About 2am this morning my GPZ750 Turbo roared to life.

All winter long I was told by the storage facility manager that it was being stored in a climate controlled unit free from the elements...

WRONG.

It was on my trailer still strapped down. and my cover was stolen to cover a HD. WTF!>!>!

Enough ranting... I'm over it.




















#$%*ing bastards.



Anyway, we have battled numerous things to get to this point and all I want is to ride it this season before it gets a full teardown.

Fork seals
Tires
Brakes
Wheel bearings
Broken shift shaft
Chain
Sprockets

The list goes on.


But I rode it to work this morning on a shakedown run and it goes like stink.

I just wanted to share my joy with all of you on my first ride after loads of setbacks.
