Patton's Z1

Am posting some pics of the Z1 in my sig, acquired years ago for my son and riding partner, who graciously allows me to garage and maintain it for his regular riding enjoyment, although the bike was born three years before him. Of course my sworn caretaking duties include extensive road testing between riding adventures. Yes, he too is addicted. And we both enjoyed taking the motorcycle riding course together several years ago. Cross-country trips to Sturgis, Yellowstone, Glacier National, Cannadian Rockies (Bamph National Park), Devil's Tower, Blue Ridge Parkway, Daytona Beach, etc., him on the Z1, me on the LTD. Helps keep me young at heart, and truly a Blessing. Not afraid of 500 mile days on these bikes (but prefer more casual 400 milers). Okay, on with the pics in sequential postings. Lots to come, and here's the first one, so please stay tuned.
