Bob, the fella on the right had a bad accident last Saturday on his Kawasaki ZZR1400, he was ran off the road by a car on his way to meet me.

He has a badly broken Left forearm, broken Femur, Knee cap and the cup (acetabulum) which hold the ball of your hip joint, he's also black/Blue/Orange/Red all over his body with bruises.

He'll be 76 years old in a few weeks and is adamant that'll he be back on a bike as soon as he can.

Silly old fka.
Heal fast Bob

Is that a Z900? They tick quite a few boxes for me, apparently the LED headlamps are pretty good, except faster and less economical.
No, Z H2 SE, it’s 1000cc with a supercharger

Slow day at work so I went for a little late 70s jolly on the 78 CX500 with my mate on his 77 XS400,
Riding along with plenty of time to look at scenery is a new experience!

Parked up for a smoke, bike in the sun thought no more of it. Screens bloody cracked 300 miles in... Wtf.
Rode it straight to the dealer to get it logged and see if KTM will replace it, pure fking raging.

KTM need to sort their st out.

I wouldn't go near a new (any) KTM without clear evidence of proper QC.
