Whoa up there big fella....take a vitamin & return to ya seat
If you would like 2 kno more......I suggest you ask b4 just assuming or gobbing off
The guy has owned it since 1976 or 78....how many cycles have you kept for that long?????? After many hours of enjoyment in original condition, he bought another, then another & so on & so forth, but could not bear to part with the old girl...TRUE PRODUCT LOYALTY if you ask me.
Anyways he blinged a bit of this & that, mainly motor stuff, & he found himself at surfers drag strip (yes u young whipper snappers, the gold coast used to have a drag strip that didn't involve men dressed in womens cloths)
This was the reason for the so called bastardisation of the rear end with a single shock extended swingarm etc. The man has rebuilt the thing countless times, spent thousands of dollars, & shed a few tears too no doubt over the years, because he loves this bike....always has, always will, but with a comment along the lines of " If ya want a single shock bike, why not just update to one" I guess you just wouldn't understand now would you
Not every1 has the money to just get sick of sumthing & go trade up the next day... M8 I'm not real keen on the seat either, but when someone has put as much time money & effort into 1 bike for over twenty years, I give credit where its due.
Your completly entitled to your opinion, but get sum backround info before ya just start shooting off at the lips...
ps if ya look hard enough you can see a standard (apart from paint)Z9 in the backround.....& even tho this was a PURPOSE BUILT drag bike, it was street registered till a few months ago.
Yeah I like Kawasakis.
LUV ya work mate !!!!!!! that was a rather nice example heh........pity we didn't get any shots of that *bronze* example that was following us through Warburton/Alexandra on the trip home......
