Whilst trundling home from West Cumbria half asleep I spotted what looked like a Z1B going in the opposite direction (towards Cleator) it certainly woke me up it looked like a great bike, the weather was a bit dodgy and not the sort of day I would take my pride and joy out - Was it You?

Yup I've seen him race before he was quite handy if I remember correctly, was it a Z1B ? I forgot to say that it was on Tuesday about 3pm.

There must be a few Z1B's up here in Cumbria, my old mate Bug who lives near Carlisle has one he uses all year round and is still in good nick, its painted in A4 Green (I really like the Blue ones for some reason).
I will have seen Rob at the TT a few times - late 80's early 90's top bloke.

I have an A4, its still work ongoing and likely to be for some time yet, "house alterations" got in the way in August and I may make a re-start next week as I have some time off work. I know of another Z1 in the Carlisle area and I work at the same place as Bart - it makes you wonder just how many are tucked away in garages?
