Made the journey down to Conondale last weekend on the ZIR for the "Queensland Z owners rally".

Happy to report the old girl run like clockwork and was an absolute pleasure to ride the 600km round trip. B)

Headed down with all my mates..."by myself" early Saturday morning and returned Sunday.

Below is a few K pics taken on the day, and a vid of the trip..........


























1976 KH 500 triple
1978 Z1R D1
1980 Z1R MK2
1983 Gpz750 turbo
2007 ZRX 1200r
1982 GSX 1000S Katana
1983 GSX 1000S Katana
Don't knock my turbo lag - it gives your naturally aspirated a chance..

The Queensland rally was just a small event.

The big one was the "Z owners 40 anniversary rally" held in Melbourne the week before.

Here's a few pics I've stolen from another site... ;)

No problem there Mcdroid...

Most of the pics of the Melbourne rally came from other Aussie members of the Z1OC...

But I'm sure they wont mind. ;)

Some nice bikes there. Glad to see everyday riders not polished to hell better ridden rather than hidden although dont think you need those furry seat covers down under :S

Mad Max 2 was on UK tv last night...good to see the zeds on it!
