Yes I now own a shiny Kwak Z1000 in green (of course). Hopefully pick up in the next week, so might get time for a blast before it gets really cold!
Oh and keeping the Hornet as my commute bike as I love it so.

Of course its green - thats the only colour kwaks come in.......... isn't it?

New bike? but you've only just got that Hornet..... and the SV before that! Do you like changing bikes every season?

Sounds nice, but aren't they similar machines (apart from the kwak being faster)
Surely you can only use one backside at a time?! :roll:

They are similar in that they both have two wheels and both are unfaired, other than that they are totally different animals. Law, yes I do have a bike purchasing problem. In 3 years this is bike number 12, no I'm not kidding. The Hornet is my everyday bike, literally everyday as I have no car licence. The Zed is my sunny day bike, although not many of those this time of year! I fell in love with the Z1000 the day it came out and always wanted one, a mate bought one from new and has not got the chance to use it much (1000 miles on the clock). He said I may as well have it off him as he just never uses it so I got a really good deal. Not quite sure how I tell the missus that I have yet another bike! :P

Tell her it's a mate's, and you're keeping it safe! Oh and riding it as well to keep it working.

That's why chocolates and flowers at random, for no reason, are a good idea. Then they're more accepted when you do have a reason.
