Well actually it's a Kwak Z750 twin. It does 110 (with rope to hold you
on), 55mpg an it goes round corners. It looks like a bike should, pulls 20 -
max in top gear and sets off every car alarm in the street. These things
WILL be classics. So there.

Quite amusing after lunchtime drinking session, rolling back into the office to sleep the beer off with Jim singing 'When I get my value mum, when I get my value mum' I could swear on my copy of the single ( b/w Motorhead ) the line goes "....

Course you forgot to mention that a bike will be nearer hallowed SOB status if it has zero oil in any suspension component and at least one strip of gaffer tape on the seat. >> Stay informed about: It's not an SOB, it's a classic

But I fancy a twin just to see if they're as crap as they're > made out to be (I have ridden one, actually). Used to have a 750 twin engine in a sidecar outfit .. It was actually an amazing outfit engine, just powerful enough with just enough torque .. It was only made for the 'Battle of the Twins' though .. Up to 750 four stroke twins and up to 400 cc two strokes. A most excellent series. Mind, it _was_ in the early eighties .. -- .............................Paul - xxx Seti 1934 wu in 14730 hours <a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu</a> >> Stay informed about: It's not an SOB, it's a classic
