Ok ok another one from over the pond!

How did I get here...well google actually while searching for more info on a kz550 a3 that i recently purchased. We did not have them over here in the colours you did and certainly not with only one disc up front....scary stuff!

Anyway a long term zed owner with various bikes: z1, z900a4, z1000 j3, lawson replica, gpz1100 b2 anything pretty much pre 84 4 cylinder zed with twin shocks...and if my darling wife is reading this I will never fess up to how many bikes I have and you will never find them all....why am I interested in little zeds as well? god knows why they have recently got under my skin.

Anyway enough from me. Hope to talk to many of you and contribute what I can back to the site!

Cheers.

Paul

I know what you mean. Mine points out that you only have one backside so you can only ride one bike!

The rule is that I dont bring any more home, so most are safely in a lock up, but working on the premise that to a woman one bike looks like another they do change about a bit in the garage at home, and as I point out to her "ask no questions get told no lies dear!"

The others in the garage shot are not mine I have to confess (phew I hear you all say!). The two 1100's were in hiding in a friends workshop until I could get them home. They became quite a talking point with all his clients.
