Sunny Weeklend my Zed threw a strop - Break out the Kettle

#1 PostAuthor: Tonto » Mon May 28, 2012 8:14 pm

Not sure if I should have posted this on "The Shed" thread ?
As the weekend weather was stunning, my Z900 decided to throw a strop: first the clutch, now the brakes have "thrown in the towel" - virtually unrideable !! Why did she wait until the sun came out to play ? Feck Feck Feck !

All was not lost as I liberated the Kettle: not ridden her for a wee while: she aint quick but really does ride well for a big old girl. Sounds lovely on the pipe !

If I can master Photobucket here's a couple of pics of the little "minter" taking a well earned break.

Now that summer is over there is plenty of time to get those bloody calipers off my Zed !
Cheers Tim

Loverly - I had an "R" reg kettle back in the early 80's with chrome Allspeeds - great old barge :twisted:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!
