Hello From Scotland

14 Nov 2025 03:01

Greetings all

I joined this site a while ago but never got round to posting anything as I mainly browsed the Z1300 forum. The Z1300's are all gone now and what I currently have is a Kawasaki  GPZ1100 A1 Unitrack (in bits) and a Kawasaki Z1000K LTD which requires some attention but runs okay. For summer runs I have a Triumph Thunderbird Storm.
Hoping to gain some knowledge on the intricacies of the old Z1000. 

cheers

Billy

Hi Bill

Yes I was referring to the KZ1300 forum. I've been on that since you took it over. Prior to that it was run by a guy called David (I think) who had a few Voyagers. I don't have a Z13 anymore but I still pop on to the forum and have a read from time to time.

cheers

Billy
