This is the second Z1 that I restored. Made the 1st bike a good 9 out of 10. Sold that bike to Rick Brett to help fund the next one. The bike that I have now is a bike my dad
bought new in 73. I was 16 and he would let me ride it how cool was that. I would
ride into town on the baddest bike on the market. Well he sold it in 75 so I had to
say bye to an old friend. Fast forward 30 years and I buy the bike back and about
3 years later I'm about through with it. My dad now 77 still rides his own bike
but needs shoulder surgery so I hope he can ride it next spring. How cool
will that be!!!

First off, Welcome and way to go for your old man.

That will bring a tear of joy into his eyes...

Noe for the "I'm having problems loading pictures files are to large." In Microsoft paint that is supplied with all windows based units (Start-Programs-Accessories) open the image in paint, select Image tab then stretch and skew.

Start with 40-50% per image and re-save for insertion into your posting. I personally do this but skew down to 12% then copy and paste several images into one jpeg for insertion into my postings. Works well!

Any image processing program will have similar option for re-sizing an image.

As mentioned, pictures are a must... No pictures well then you must leave, this is the KZ God's rule....
