It just amazes me what the effects of sun over a long period of time can be. Now I know why I have never seen a grey Z1 before :lol:

He must really be attached to it

Some times it's not the money that counts Paulie.

Davey - will you be fitting the NoS kit now or later

You'd better take some WD40 with you for your travels - it's not use to the wet

Davy is well used to wet weather on a Zed never you fear
and He ain't afraid to throw a Zed around either
I seem to recall Him wringing the neck off a 73 on wet roads
single disc too
so you lot get your umbrellas up cause all I hear are crocodile tears

difference is He was on a standard Z1
you are on a modified Z1000

no contest
the Z1 is more frightening anyday
