Some drivers let me pass, I give them a wave, then some try to keep me behind them, I find a hole and leave them in my fumes. Others think they can beat a bike. A few can, most can't. I just wish they wouldn't try.

Steve been wondering how you were getting on with action cam - is that the $27 model?
They would certainly hear you coming unless they are deaf - nice note !
I must be getting some sense - if some boy racer in a car wants to shoot off into the distance i just let them now - hopefully there is a Highway Patrol ahead - the Zephyr aint exactly fast but still beats most cars
The majority of car drivers here are courteous - gonna get the brain dead dickheads in anything.
Good video mate - looks like you have it sorted

Yup, it the $27 model. Took a while to figure it out with help from you guys. Thanks. This guy is my age. Some don't have the balls to ride and hate the ones that do. His problem.

No I don't know that anal retentive son of a Benidict. It was a Toyota. A Nissan surprised me one day. Had to red line a couple times to catch up and pass him. Not like the old days.

Hey Steve that camera was only $27.00 ?, Well let me tell you I enjoyed watching the video and you still passed the M F, ,at that price I am getting one. By the way there are a lot A H out there, they see how free you are and feel on your bike, and they get jealous of you, These people are nasty and just want to beat you, even though they cant., Thanks, Tony.
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

Yeah, it was $27 delivered on ebay. I was looking at one for $45 but after watching the vids from others, I decided to get this one and get a better one later. We'll see how long it lasts.
I have to keep in mind these Nimrods are in two ton machines. They ARE dangerous. Another reason for the cam. Most of them have a G sensor that saves the last clip in an accident.
That first turn, the bike got a little squirrely but I kept on the power and rode through it.
I miss my Wiseco's, these stock KZ1000 pistons suck. 8.5/1 compared to 10.25/1 just don't cut it. I'm looking for a used piston or will buy a new one this summer.
One thing at a time.

Here's another clip. 1000 PLMS CYN. Treacherous road. Stupid drivers.

Steve - couldn't quite make out the car brand - would have expected that from a Honda car driver - they are like hardley owners here - some kind of unexplainable superiority complex when all it takes is a wad of cash.
Any brain dead moron can have one. You had to get past that second car on the 1000 PLMS CYN.
Anyone who brakes around a perfectly smooth sweeper is not to be trusted - ever.
What size are your clips ?

I use to go through that CYN at 70/80 leaning so close you could kiss the ground. Wonder I made it this far. I'll add two more of this ride. I'll tell you what size then.
