A couple of pics taken recently of my project - thought it was time that it got a breath of fresh air! Rebuilt and fitted front brakes yesterday - hope to get them bled this week. Looking forward to some warmer weather so I can get the motor cleaned up and repainted and then I can fill that big gap in the frame! (more pics to come later)
Current Project

Other bike (and daily ride)
2004 Yamaha FZR 600
Previous Bikes

73 Mach IV (Resto)

It's an Oz version and is my 3rd of this species - although some 36 years have elapsed
since I had my previous 2 Z1-Rs (first one got stolen
!)
First saw these in NZ back at the Marlboro Series and just had to have one
!. The
mighty Croz was magic on one of these, especially around the street circuits -
huuge wheelies and challenging the factory racers.
