Met a Turbo Z1R dude last weekend
28 Sep 2009 18:27 - 28 Sep 2009 18:30
Name is Bob. I know a lot of Bobs, but this is the only one with a TC Turbo Z1r. He's got it pretty tricked out too. radials on 17" wheels, Wiseco 1400cc...oh hell, it was my birthday and I'd had some beers in me, so I don't remember all of the goodies he has in it. I do remember telling him he needed to get rid of that old POS, and I'd offer my help with that, but he wouldn't have none of that...
Dammit, forgot to resize, be back in a few...

The guy says he's an ex racer, road racer, something like that. He's the original owner. That's his baby. And one fine baby it is.
Me and the wife was soakin some suds and listening to some fine blues when the guys wife comes up asking me about my Z1 Enterprises shirt. Told her I had one sittin outside. She grabs her husband and we start talkin. He says his is sittin outside, lets go look. And yeah, my jaw dropped when I saw it.
I got his email address, so I could send him this site, and Z1's.
Think he's qualified enough to join this prestigious clan of coolness? :lol:

Why bother, I have been told hot rodding these bikes will only cost alot and make them crap to ride, oh yeah and it will only run well for a week then need repair. he should have just bought a zx6.
Good thing I don't listen to the few unhelpful jack holes on these forum or I couldn't appreciate this machine. And I do, I really like this bike. I hope the owner/builder turns up on the forum one day! Some people can truly enjoy the process of taking something common and making it unique.

Always liked Z1Rs and especially the TC versions (although I think that one is a Mr Turbo aftermarket kit, not a genuine Z1RTC).
