Just back from 1st ride this year :-)
01 Mar 2025 07:58
Hi Z-heads,
i am just back from my first ride this year.
Startet at 11.00 pm at temperature of 4°C and cloudy sky,..but some little rays of sun were spotted...., and done about 130 miles,..was great, cold, ( about 4cm`s ), and always a very fine feeling to be back on the Z1000,
...and as ever: No time for some good pictures....So, just here at home, and get a hot shower, the last 30 km´s over the highway been very cold ...no more than 4-5 degrees C and cold wind ,..brrrrr.
Have ya all a cool and good start into the new bike season!!

Only wooden houses and paper tiger walls should be afraid to the sound of the Kawi Power Bikes.......

Jealous.
Temps have been quite nice here for a few days, but the amount of salt & salt dust still on the roads that will cause countless tiny pits in polished aluminum has kept us off the bikes. It's s'posed to rain enough next week that most of the salt will wash away.
Chompin' at the bit...
Good Ridin'

Scirocco said pussy, ha. Did 30+yrs of construction, that's just simple within 5 second conversation at the local tavern. I can pull off better then that with an array of communicable diseases as a comeback, hehe.

Hi Rolf,
fine to see, that you´re also back on the streets,..but there are really a lot of old ice...NO salt on the roads??.( take care for corrosion, or wash your bike after riding, or it will be terrible rust,..but i am sure, you know that better than me..
Happy season for you and all the best!!
