  • New Arrival

    Well i havent been around for awhile, been busy working 2 jobs plus overtime
    but did manage to get my XS running well this year, ok i must admit its only been the last 2 weeks just when its starting to get real cold. Anyways i guess one advantage of working long hours is you can play the sympathy
    card when you find a new bike. And here she is a 2007 Kawasaki Z1000 with just over 7000 on her. Pulls like a steam train, handles really well,stops on a dime and the upright position means after riding her for 3 hours you can still straighten up. [IMG][/IMG]
