Todays the day..

After 4 years bikeless, I bought an old ZXR750 H1 end of Nov '05 to tinker and restore.
Anyhoo...the bike is ready, and today I plan on riding her for the 1st time!!

As I've not ridden for 4 years, I must admit the apprehension is surprising me..but exciting at the same time.

So if anyone sees a guy wobbling around on an H1 ZXR G/W/B today (Stevenage A1M - M25).....allow me some space pls..

Sure...

Just got back from my ride. Bit wobbly, but it all came rushing back.

It must be that time of year - I've just bought myself a mint ZXR750L2! Well I did say I was going to make more of an effort to be green this year

I really wanted one of the new GSX-R750s, but as the insurance was going to cost more than what I paid for my Kwak it was a no go

Never mind, I'm sure my new green machine will be more than enough for me
