Default Yet another new member in the UK

Hi Everyone

I've been riding for over 40 years. I have owned many Japanese bikes from all the manufacturers but since the purchase of my 1st Kawasaki (Z100A1) in 1979 I have drifted over to Kawasaki only. In 1982 I sold my 12 month old Z1000 MKII to pay for my wedding. I bought a Z750 twin then as family life demands grew even that was sold. I ended up going about 15 years without riding but after I split with my ex and my daughter passing her car test in 2005 I decided to get back into biking and bought another 750 twin. The fever has started again. 2006 saw the purchase of my 2nd 750 twin. 2007 saw a customised GPZ1100 live in my garage as well. This did not last that long as I part ex'd it against a 2006 ZRX1200R. Since then my passion for the 750 twins has done nothing but grow. I have accumulated a mass of new and used spares which fill my 2 outhouses and my spare bedroom. I have also amassed a still growing library of literature and information on the bikes, probably 2nd to none. Currently I have 8 750 twins (3 registered, 2 with papers and 3 completely dismantled projects) and still the ZRX. I also have the UK owners club for the 750 twins which we have named the LomesomeTwin as you never see another on the rad at the same time as you haa haa. We also use the knickname of 'Japanese Boneville' which doesn't always raises a smile.

I am a Design Engineer by trade and currently between contracts and in the true spirit of things I am currently working at Z-Power in Leigh, England which many of you are probably aware of. I have come across a few boxes of redundant stock which is not yet catalogued in their system. Most needs to be identified and I have been tasked with this job and also selling it on to whoever needs/wants it. If you are needing anything please shout up and I will see if I can help. I will list items as best as I can with the permission of this sites owners.

Cheers for now

KK
