On to number 3 this year, this will hopefully barring any curved balls be straight forward, just do a few minor changes and go through all the running gear to make sure is good, anticipate a problem with fuel tank lining that has been coming off in strips but at a push will just have to change tanks temporarily. Will book an MOT for next week and push myself into a corner. Pics show first 2 I have done this year and the Red one am doing now. First step was to buy and fit an Odessey Extreme Battery

LMAO! Mark, you and I have the same disease and would get along together great! I collect the Voyager ZN1300's like you collect the KZ's. I also collect recumbent trikes and restore them. Got 11 of them now, plus 8 bikes.

I hate to say it, Mark, but your pics give you away on what you said the other day about no room to store a tire changer! I see lots of room, like under that pool table being used for a workbench (another reason I knew I liked you, because I use the top of a washer/dryer for my workbench!!!). I also see lots of wheels under a bench that will eventually need tires on them! YOU would quickly get your money's-worth out of a good tire machine! And, if you ever used one with a no-mar bar instead of using spoons, you would like it! I started out only wanting a machine to hold my wheel solidly while I used the spoons, but after a local dealer allowed me to use his machine and bar to do a few tires for him, I was hooked. The bar and solidly held machine makes the job so quick and easy. Actually fun!

Anyway, I love your KZ collection! I'm jealous! And, I wish I had the space to store my Voyagers and sidecar rig in that you do. I take it that you don't play pool much anymore? I don't blame you! I would rather work on the bikes, too! Maybe put your table-top on some kind of easy lifting system to raise up for a quick game!

How I envy your great workshop. All that space, AND a nice armchair in which to sit and admire your efforts.

Is there a race going on and no one told me about it? 3 in a year? And I thought 1 in 3 years was the target. JEEEEZZZ!!!!

Lol This is a simple one Kawboy just needs going over, also 3/4 of way through build on another which I will finish hopefully sometime in April. Then take a rest for a year when tickets start to run out

Lol Trikebldr don't have anywhere as near as many as you, that must be one big carport and patio you have along with a shop full of tents. You lads are lucky across the pond you have a wealth to choose from at often really good prices, there aren't to many left in the UK and the majority that are here are US Imports. I am going to have to shift some shortly but always struggle to part with them have never sold one yet, think about it, then never do. Lol the pool table gets a game very rarely now always covered in bike bits but with some covers and doors over it makes an excellent workplace. I think this red one will be a quick job have had it off the road for 2 years now needs to go back on for this season, been working my way through tonight changing brackets, nuts bolts etc and cleaning as going along, will hit front and back brakes tomorrow change fluid and make sure all is sliding nicely on the calipers and pistons. Will then fire it up hopefully before I look at the carbs and forks all is looking good though at the moment hopefully won't have to touch much for it's ticket any other works I want to do can then be done after
