yeh the old girl puts out a lot !!it is still my favourite bike in the stable by far. So much character .......and if it could only talk, what tales she could tell.....
One thing from last years CDT which I was really happy about - was the way I could just sit of Nelso's shoulder as we pegged down the Princes Hwy - just drop down a gear as I watched him set up to overtake - and peel out with his Rex and just overtake......well anything really![]()
the old girl might have had a classic Triumph waft thanks to the oil mist on the headers
but did everything else pretty well.
One bike I can't wait to take on a CDT though - is still to be built. The granddaddy of the ZRX........now that will be fun up Mt Darragh with 16" tyres !!
