Hi!

That looks great! Very nice, great colour too! A friend has a Z650, which was a great bike, and actually, i was surprised at the handling, a great fun bike, loving your honda mate. Really quite envious :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Alistair

I was actually after a Z650 but couldnt find one in the right colour then spotted this on Pistonheads. Nice to have a bike again I must say

Had a few hours on the bus this morning, a wash after the mud at the bristol show and used my fathers day pressies, Rimwax & Maguiers wax, so that took a while. The fitted a fire exstinguisher

The next job was a complete bitch :evil: The poptop came off to have the roof painted as you know, when it was put back on they couldnt get a bolt to line up on the near side hinge with the captive nut on the inside of the roof so it was left out, mainly because I had fitted the ply roof lining and they didnt want to disturb it, which was fair enough.......I had been putting this off, so took the trim off and pulled the cab area roof panel down so as i could get my arm in to get to the bracket, but the sod would not line up a the correct angle to allow the bolt to screw in!!! After an hour, with the help of my dear wife (we nearly had a devorce in the process :msn4: ) I managed to get a nut in place of the captive and all is peachy :lol: Now I have fibreglass in both arms.............which is nice :evil: No pics im afraid as the iphone was doubling up as a torch and i was in no mood!!!
