Jeff , Put the wheelie picture up so we can see you when you were skinny.Roy

This picture was taken at Santa Pod in the UK. Way back in early 1979. My hair was just a little longer than today...

That bike was a composite of 2 bikes. My original Z1 was crash damaged by a friend. I was working on his Suzuki GT550 at his house. He borrowed my bike to go get some parts, and came back with far too many parts...

I was fortunate to find a complete rolling chassis from a racer who'd used the engine for a sidecar outfit. So the engine was a Z1A engine in a Z1B frame.

The tail and rear light was from a kz900, the headlight brackets from a GS1000. The engine was 1015cc 10.5:1 compression 0.410" cams, 29mm smoothbore carbs and a 4-1 pipe. The bike ran a best of 11.3 at120mph through the 1/4 mile, and was used as everyday transport. When I sold it in 1980, the engine had 50,000 very hard miles on it. Over 30,000 of those miles with the big-bore kit.

In 1979 I had 3 wins and 5 second places in heads-up drag racing at Santa Pod a couple of other places.
