I'm using Firefox on my macbook pro. All I need to do is left click once on the img link and it automatically copies it for me then right click in the reply box on the forum and click paste. I guess it may be different with other browsers or on a pc?

Hi
I am afraid B2 owners tend to be getting on a bit , I am from 1964 and my brother from 67 but there are a few youngsters on here. Good luck with the rebuild ask any questions I am nearly finished with mine but will probably never be finished completely.

Yes but was yours planned or a serious shock after 8 years of not bothering he turned up early.
Its good tho keeps me young and hes a bike man.
But the quad and the monkey bike has had its time they have got to go.
I once had a Z1000 a2 i rebuilt back in 1984
I had it all the way up to 2005 and to this day i do not know why i sold it.
I had at the same time a GPZ1100 unitrac on a Q plate very cheap it was bought from the head mechanic at the local Kawasaki centre.

Thanks lads all of you I'm hoping to make it run and be road legal by March/April with no major hiccups I want to refit the injection but I have never heard it run Im also looking for a v12 jag fuel pressure reg cos I had one one the unitrac last time it's just lets you run a bit more pressure in the fuel system but we will see I could have to put carbs on after all this time.

He was planned!!

I was 43 2 weeks after he was born.

I really wished I had done it earlier though.
I would have had more if I had done.
