Seems to me that there are a lot of guys out there who run respectable machines and who are members of the club who would probably be happy to have their bikes on the club stand. Me included. But my bikes neither immaculate or standard. The costs involved in returning an old scrubber back to concourse are extremely prohibitive for most of us but out of the ashes I've built something that I'm quite proud of on an extremely tight budget. It also has to work for its keep fifty thousand and climbing, all weathers. My point is, it's a club stand so why limit dispays solely to the few who own concourse bikes when there are loads of us who don't. You would probably find yourselves with a lot more machines to choose from if you didn't Jerry. Much respect Jerry but I feel quite strongly about this.

[Pigford]

Good point Russ, but must admit, Jerry does include the odd non-standard when there is enough space. As the shows are flying the flag for Z1OC it is a fair deal to have the more immaculate bikes as first dibs
I do prefer to see the modded bikes tho, this goes for any make, except H***A's & M***D's of course

[AL MARSHALL]

i have to agree with you guys,i live only 4 miles away and am happy to be of help. my z1b is very tidy but used regularly and so is not mint,that is why i never offered it for display.

[Davy Doherty]

Paul, If I had my choice I'd say the Mk2, but bring whatever you want, a space is reserved for you. Steve F - there's a space if you want - keep me posted.

What more do yous want

[paul doran]

look guy's I spoke to Jerry this evening
five bikes is all he has on the stand
now it gets better
two of them belong to Dai Griffith's
two of them belong to Paul Scanlon
and that leave's one other
so three club member's is the sum total of the support Jerry has in this area
Jerry would gladly take clean tidy modified bike's
probably within six miles of this event there are six Zed's but why are some not supporting this event(and I heard this from another source)
the reason I feel strongly about this is basically I think not only does poor attendance let Jerry down but it also let's the club down
it's not too late to up the stake's here
Jerry would appreciate the support

[steve f]

Only 4 zeds on the stall poor turnout for this club


14 M****s on display with the smoc and 8 fizzys with the fizzy club

decent place for a show though

[Padders]

Paul,

I think a lot of us just assumed that only mint standard or some thing special like a Rickman Harris etc were wanted. I am sure now that its clear tidy modified bikes are welcome, more will be offered in future. Probably a bit too late for this meet. I would be glad to offer my Z900 once complete.

Steve stop trying to wind everyone up!!! we all know your a nice guy really

[steve f]

Paul,



Steve stop trying to wind everyone up!!! we all know your a nice guy really

just because i bought parts from you no need to tell lies shame really as if we was in IRELAND you would of gave me the parts for free

not trying to wind anybody up bit i felt sorry for jerry on the stall with only 4 bikes but hey ho the triples club never even bothered

so to sum up the show it was good but a poor KAWASAKI turnout

[Steve Cooke]

I totally agree with Russ on this whilst it is of course great to have one or two concourse bikes on the stand it would be preferential to also include not only modded bikes but also normal daily use bikes which would be more representative of the majority of bikes in this or most other clubs for that matter,it would also demonstrate the fact that these bikes are just as useable now as they ever were.Personally as much as I love to see a concourse bike I can go to a museum to see them any time but I cant to see in detail a good modified or working motorcycle,I do think that earlier requests would have been off putting to many owners who probably would have been more than forthcoming in offering their bikes if they had considered them good enough to fall within the parameters set by the original posts.

[TheBogieMan]

if we was in IRELAND you would of gave me the parts for free

You wouldn't even get through immigration you t**t

[malc87]

it must have been a good stand by the z1 owners club as i finally joined!!
steve f. the triples club (as you already know)were invited to do the show but declined. having done sammy miller day week before last,triples rally last week,and some of the members drag racing in the kawasaki triples challange at shakey county next week we decided we cant do everything.as this show was last on the already full calender we opted out.
unfortunately we cant do everything and as in most clubs it is the usual crew who do all the events
nowt to stop you bringing or showing one of your bikes at any of these events as a club member or as a private entry

[phil churchett]

Quality, not quantity and Paul Scanlon won "Best Japanese machine" for his brown/orange Z1.
If bikes aren't offered, modified or not, how on earth can Jerry hope to get a stand together?

[malc87]

well done paul on winning.
your bikes are outstanding

[bunnysZ]

fantastic looking bike and registartion as well.
