Z1OwnersClub GB

less than 2 weeks till the calstock bike show in calstock cornwall (7th-10th aug) i know a few members from the southwest area are going to attend this show what i am proposing is a rideout on the saturday morning to somewhere in north cornwall/devon (route and destination to be worked out this week ) as i am very local to this event and involved in the vjmc and gpz900 owners club i am posting a similar message on my other forums, hopefully there should be a really interesting mix of classic machines on this ride from zeds, to ninja's as well as my mates from vjmc which include cbx1000,nc30,rd500 lc,rd400,and a 1100 katana to name a few.roughly speaking the idea is to meet at the wooden pirate ship/playground area at 11.00am on the saturday morning i will be be wearing a red zpower t shirt and a nasty scowl (nothing personal its just the way i look!!!!) i will post another message with definate details nearer the time. if you need to contact me then send me a pm. no worries hopefully the zed will be finished by then???
hope to see some of you soon

What would a wolf want with a sweater?

Dunno 'bout the others 'but I'm riding down on Friday with Steve and Taffus and prolly pick up a Piglet on the way. I'm hoping to find some el cheapo accommodation Friday night and return Saturday evening.

no sorry pilgrim there is no planned rideout for sunday, the show is a bikeshow/regatta with the sunday being mostly the boaty type stuff with most people scooting off home quite early in the morning

is anyone camping at the site ? I am hopeing to down friday afternon stay over until saturday afternoon.

cheers Rimmer

Is there still a rideout planned for Saturday as I might ride over for that.

Me and Steve are camping, Ralph is staying in a local Hotel

Taffus what time you going down.I am looking at leaving work a bit early on friday and riding over dartmoor "weatherpermitting".Is the camping on a prebook basis.

cheers rimmer

the rideout is still on (leaving at 11 ish) but obviously its dependant on the weather which aint looking too chipper at the moment it will be a case of suck it and see, however i will be going over on friday at 4.30pm ish (after work ) so hope to meet a few of you soon ps.the camping is a turn up and pay job, no need to pre-book
cheers

Glad I didn't take my Zed.

I lunched the FJ on the top of Dartmoor Really not 100% sure what happened, but I think it was a strong wind gust. One minute I was riding in a straight line the next we were both sliding down the road. I wasn't hurt but I'll need a new lid and waterproofs. The bike'll want a new fairing, handle bars, levers etc, etc Just what I need when I'm skint as fek

'Kin 'ell Ralphy, hope you're OK mate

Good job it weren't the Zed

Sorry to hear that Ralph. I have a FZR / FJ master cylinder and lever if it`s any good ?

shit ralph,sounds like a bad one! at least your still able to talk about it which is the main thing. a machine is replaceable a person is not so take some positives out of the experiance, i had a spill on the gpz a couple of months ago it was my first for nearly 15years and it was very minor so i will take it as part of the rich tapestry of lfe, when i left you on saturday and went up across the top of kelly bray and back towards home it was very windy just kept the speed right down.(im shit riding in the wet anyway) hope it wont cost too much to fix and as been said already cheaper to fix than a zed!
looking forward to the south west rally next month!

Good to see that your OK Ralph, sorry to hear about your spill, just goes to show that we are such vulnerable motorists at the mercy of not just car drivers, but anything else that can thrown our way.
Look after yourself Ralph
