YC has an extremely battered GPZ, had some fun getting it out the van, bits flying off left right and centre

AND it's got pink and blue stripes, it's gonna match his colourful blue purple and white race leathers...how much persuading dya think it'll take for me to get him to pose in 'em on it?

I'll hold him down while you get him into the leathers Maria

He has described these horrific leathers, but we alll need to have a good laugh at him wearing the,!

I had one - a wee red one the same. wish I still had it for commuting with. You couldn't sniff at a wee 500 which did 60mpg...

And could sit all day cruising at 80mph.

The standard downpipes rot away, but I put on a secondhand set of S/S Nexxus 2:1 with a raspy can. Sounded good. Tyres last ages on them. Just look after the engine, regular oil changes, and Silkoline FST Pro down the carbs every winter time to prevent carb icing. They run forever.

Front suspension is a way too mushy as standard, but flush it out and put in heavier oil, and it's way better. Look after the rear shocky - ie keep it clean...
