My new Zed

Quick update...
With a lot of help from many friends; the bike is ready for rego (minus tyres).
Enough stock bits are on to keep 'the man' happy for the inspection.

Also; I CAN RIDE!!
With the shoulder feeling lots better and most of my hand strength back, I took the Zed (my first time riding it) around the block a couple of times.
I'm in luuuurve.

As of today Zed is registered and on the road!!
w00t!

Well done Lurch.

Nice, congrats on getting back on, and the new bike

Saw the 7fiddy in the flesh today - looks great ! Very nice shade of red, with pinstriping that almost reminded me of a Ducati Monster ? Lurch was very happy to be back out riding - even with the weather being a bit hideous.......

This is exactly the sort of bike he needs for the daily commute, weekend fang and all-round riding. The M109 can be kept for those long weekend rides, and Goose - next step Historic rego.

From your place I had a bit of a fang back down Coppins Crossing.

Much fun had. That thing is *soooo* easy to tip into a bend

Nice, stripes are a little Ducati'esque but still very cool

I thought that too.. but it's green on the inside
Awesome pick up

Thanks guys. Needless to say, I'm insanely stoked with it
It's nice to be back on a Kwaka.

I bet ! Those new Conti Attacks would have helped as well.........

These Conti's are freaking fantastic. I loved them on my XJR, and these new RA-2's on the Zed are even better.
Highly, highly recommended.

Quick update.
Now that rego is all done, I've been getting out a little and enjoying the bike.
She also got a good bath on Monday:


Since that photo was taken, I've fitted some wider bars and different mirrors.
Also ordered a belly pan today

Bring on summer+the twisties

Quick update.
Carbon bits are on, as well as the belly pan


(Carbon bits are the side panels and the Z1000 radiator shrouds)

Also made up a video camera mount over the last few days. Using a tripod head and a bracket:

What mirrors did you end up with. Got a better photo?

Nice zed mate. Watch the cops with that tidy tail, I got booked the other day, $230, 2 points, if your going to keep it put a red reflector on the back of your bike, that will at least drop the fine if you get pinned, ride safe
