Owned about 5 years, but off the road for the last couple.
Big thanks to
@3rdGenSteve (And his Pencaitland Garage Services) for delivering me from a valley of grim bikelessness into a sunlit shiny red upland of speed and lean.
Collected yesterday afternoon, 160 miles across central Scotland showed her purring like a kitten, and accelerating like a cat that's had its tail trodden on.
Update
@Prelude91 
More/better pics to follow when I get round to it...

That's quite a bike history. Lots of nice Honda's too.
I always fancied a GPz, although I didn't ride a bike until well after they stopped making them. Always preferred the looks of the GPz550, with that great paint job. Although the 750's were supposed to be brilliant, eh? I think my old instructor had one of the first CBR6's too - it had 83k on the clock and ran like new.
(I think the first CBR6 was 1986?)

I want a bike now..
But the only one that I can actually drive is the Honda Zoomer.

Much as I love them, I wouldn't generally recommend people get into bikes. Zoomers
are cool, though
Or a MotoCompo?

No worries, just glad you enjoyed the run home.
Looking good in the pics, hopefully get out on a few runs soon, make the most of it before the weather gets any worse.

I've never seen someone come out like this.

I guess in your circles it's usually something more flamboyant?

Like wearing pink flamingo shorts?
