It's alive ! (meant to post in "Daily Chatter")

After a long cold hibernation I finally managed to get the Z13 to start: usual hair dryer trick on the carb bodies and a blast of "easy start" in the air box and she wheezed backed into life, and was soon on full song and sounding bloody lovely. Really hope she behaves better this year than last .

Here she is with a wee bit of choke - after 5 mins with the wife's uber powerful hair dyer


Not posted pics before of her recently acquired very BIG sister - a flat 6 1850cc monster, fitted with obligatory free flowing pipes sound like a Porsche - what an engine: Oh My !!!!!!!

Not popular in the UK but Ive always had a soft spot for the F6C Valkyrie - !





Roll on Spring
Cheers Tim

We've seen your bike on here before , Tim, but again I am struck by that fantastic paint job.
That's quite an impressive collection of bikes! What is the power delivery like with the F6C? Certainly an eye catching machine, and you likely won't meet another one when you go out with it.
I'm really envious of your garage space.

Nice bikes! Glad you got the Z started.

Lovely paint job. Must have had a cut and buff following the paintwork. That's the "other half" of a great paint job. Nicely done !!

And then there's that pretty little RG500 tucked waaaaaaaaaaay back in the corner. Rare as hens teeth over here. Never see them out on the road. Would love to see a retro of these and the RZ500. Let's just say I like leaving a trail behind me so you know that I've been there. ( Catch me if you can) My Dad used to call me "Big Chief Smoke'm Up"
