Adventures in Lawn Mowing

[alanint]

I restored a 1978 Kawasaki Z1-R not long ago, after I had owned one new in Mexico in the late 70s. It was only produced two years, (78,80) and the 80 had drastic changes over the 78, so parts were a nightmare.

I got stupid money for her, but I regret selling her now. I had three of them at once during the restoration, but two were modified beyond a resto and so were used for small parts, then sold.

A true classic that offered many industry "firsts". I miss riding this bike, although it represents that era where engine technology far outstripped frame and brakes, so she could be a handful to ride.
