Kawasaki ZX6R came to the shop last week. Owned quite a few Kawi's over the years, and the last to were ZX6Rs as well. But it has been 10 years. Did not realize that my hips had lost some flexibility.... lol






A few bits coming for it...

Nice looking bike and shop, too Jeff!

Copy that on the flexibility stuff. Sometimes when I first get on one of my bikes, I feel like one of my legs is about to cramp up! I just leave it sticking straight out for a minute or two before placing foot to peg...lol....

My new tires arrived today (see previous post). Two pair!

[QUOTE=Baz;12440064]Thought you might appreciate this video. Especially for the vintage bike crowd!

Baz,
Thanks for sharing. My first bike back in '78 was a 350 CL K5.
The thing was not really suited to go off road.
The gearing meant that 2 up you could climb any hill in 5th, however you were turning 1000 rpm for each 10mph.
We did a lot of miles on that old Honda.
Sold it when we bought out first house.
Good memories.

Best
Les

You're very welcome Big Les - and thanks for sharing that cool memory!

FYI: I have one coming next week.....a '73...."Candy Panther Gold"!





Barn find. Last run about 2 years ago. Had been restored before being parked and covered up......so probably won't need much.....hopefully!

[Baz]

The latest acquisition - is due to arrive here later this month. My second RC24!

Wow that’s a nice find. I love that. Great color. I’m 1 year older than that bike. Would love to have one like that but my riding days are done. Instead I look at this thread and remember the good times

Thanks RF and sorry to hear about your riding days being over. Sounds like you have some great memories of some fun times though, so that's a good thing!

Seller sent this photo today of the bike being moved into the building where it will be picked up by my transport guy next week.....

[Baz]

These are the two bikes coming along with the RC24 I posted about earlier.

And the 2 wheels...front and rear for an RC26.

I've never had three bikes delivered to me before. For that matter...not even two!

This fire pit is a neat addition to my kit. While its not a must have it makes life so much easier as I don't need to get a fire permits and leaves no mess behind. I am not sure that I am permitted to post a link to it here so is you go to Amazon and search "22 inch Portable Outdoor Fire Pit" you will find it. Its cheap, light and folds up small. Also because the airflow is so good in leave almost no ash to clean up. I am a fan.
