Yeah, for a very short while on Z750 L3 in snow in winter of 1986. It used to slide alot which was less scary than riding it in nice conditions when it would try and toss you off at anything over 80- far worse than an H2 OR Z1!

How often did you have to fill that small tank on the Z1-R ?? I had the big one and it was good for about 140 miles.

Worked for Arrowone in London, firstly with YDS7 250 and then 750 H---a,
then z900. Got knocked of three times in two weeks, 1st by a Thames BT Van, then a cab doing a u-turn and finally by a Rolls Royce driver throwing his drivers door open, which I removed for him.
I took notice of the signs, and retired alive.
