Trade my Z1 for ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
29 Jul 2015 19:40
I have a entertaining offer to trade my perfectly restored 73 Z1 for two Rickmans The first bike is complete titled 75 z1 rickman original lime green with black trim. Ran when parked 20 years ago. Fiberglass tank will need lined and carbs Hurst airhart brakes rebuilt. It's a nice example and with little effort road worthy, it's sweet . Second bike is a carcuss frame roller with misc parts. tank fairing tail its a mess. . Both have title and been owned for 35 + years. Evan trade for my baby
What do we think about this
I love this bike, but two rickmans ?

I personally would be quite content with your 73 
But I'm sure you will do a fine job on restoring that z1 rickman , so go for it :woohoo:
besides, you probably have 2 more cream puff 73's in the garage any way :laugh: :laugh:

As it has been said before, the love for these bikes outweighs the financial " common sense " of how much restoring will cost. You know what it took to do your '73. Do you think it's worth the trade? If you have the hots for the Rickman and the time and finances, go for it. If not, enjoy the Z-1.. My $.02

Wow! You have more Z s than the dealers did back in the day! Did you find a way to clone them?! And Stihl chain saws too! Nice collection.
