hello from the uk

thought i better say hello from the uk, just brought a 77 z650 c1, not to bad condition but could do with a few bits sorting /changing.
spend most of my time building tuning racing classic volkswagens so thought it was about time i had a aircooled bike
cheers rob

Welcome Rob...welcome home:)

Howdie Ho....

We love images here so post at will...

OK, we like ball busting as well, so don't take offense to what you may see on this site! LOL!

OMR

got a few things lined up to do, needs the jetting sorting, some better rubber and a repaint. want to get rid of the rear chrome fender and sort a seat that has some foam in it.
but just being back on two wheels is good for me, took 8 years to convince the girlfriend to let me have another road bike
cheers rob

Hi Rob. Welcome! You'll have a good time on this site. Lots of great people with lots of great info here.

What part of the UK are you at?
Happen to be from Scotland?
I was stationed there on a submarine drydock back in the late seventies. It was at a place called Holy Loch, near Dunoon, Argyll. Beautiful country there!
Would have loved to ride it on a motorcycle, but there was no one hiring them.

Nice bike BTW!

Welcome.

That is a nice C1.
I like blue and vote to keep it that way if the paints good.

There is some 650 specific info available here as well:
www.kz650.info/ .

The rear fender was one of the first things to go on mine.
I had been without for so many years, I found one and put it on for a while.
It came off again soon after. :laugh:

Do you know about at least three other Kawasaki sites in the U.K.? www.z-power.co.uk , www.inter-bike.co.uk , and wwwmotorcycleproducts.co.uk ?

now i have been hear just over a month, must say very good site/forum.
none of the normal b.s you find on some classic vehicle sites
bikes coming along well and still enjoy it even though it is getting cold and wet hear, wakes you up on the morning ride to work.
cheers rob
