I'm in Northern Ireland,so during the Winter months I avoid the salty roads with zero grip,but there are little windows of opportunity when rain has washed the salt off the road and I can escape the boredom of Covid lockdown just for a short time!

All you lot in warmer countries feel free to post up pics of your last ride out and make me jealous!

You can only buy them as a pair,unless you buy used.

I sold my pillion seat,as I don't carry pillions.

Thanks for that Skub, I shall do the same as you, as won’t be carrying a pinion 👍😊

Finally getting cool weather in Texas! It's nice to wear leather and not want to peel it off every time I stop.

I just thought, well, he's in the UK they have blokes over there lol. Next 4 days 20*C maybe I'll ride somewhere scenic, or just rip the tunnels around the city.

First run out of 2023. There's not usually much opportunity in January,but there was a small window today. It was a chilly 5°c and it felt it!

It was a very brief spell. I was home about an hour when the rain began and it's forgotten to stop!

Glad you got to get out on zed today. Yeah, typical January weather wind and rain.
Roll on light evenings, can’t wait. Bike is parked up in garage, waiting to get out again 👍

I find it amazing you can carry/use something like that and not end up fetching Bubba's soap for an extended period!

It was, Whit is very funny and I was surprised at how nervous foggy was.

I think Whit has had time to develop his 'after racing' skills and is more comfortable in those situations,plus he's more outgoing and natural than Foggy.

Foggy had that focus and had to hate his opposition,that's part of what made him a multiple world champ,maybe things like that are difficult to let go,even after all these years.

I also find it amazing! I can ride around with a holstered loaded firearm without any reason or credential, with only the lack of criminal history. Mental stability not withstanding! I ride outside city limits and shoot crap I find on the roadside.

As we say in Texas, It's a hoot

Lookswise the ZH2 has grown on me. Getting shot of the huge rocket launcher can helps bigtime,that's pretty neat in that shot.

I'd love to know if anyone can shift 40kgs off the weight without incurring hideous expense. If it weighed around 200kgs I'd probably have one already. They are a blast to ride.

New wheels and Ti exhaust would shave off 50-70lbs, I had one on order but decided to get a Z1000R
