As some of you know i've been in hospital for another op on my leg, and my Z has been sitting in the garage for over 3 weeks untouched.

I have read that a few of you have had trouble starting your Z's after a week of so, so you can imagine how much i was shitting it when my mate turned the key. But i had no need to worry as it started first turn.

 

God i love my Z, just want to be able to drive it, only 2 and a half months to go..........:(

 

My VW Passat (Daily driver) on the other hand needed a battery pack to get started.........Piece of shite........... :p

 

Rich:D

what op did you have? hope it went well. havent touched my zed for 2 weeks need to drive it next week so i know how you felt, just hope mine starts on the first turn

Very long story, short.

 

March 21st 2003 i had a motorbike accident. I've had 10 ops on my left leg so far. The latest one i have had a external fixator fitted around my thigh. It all went well , but it's not very comfy.

 

Gotta get the Z serviced and new plugs soon, I'd try and start the Z every few days if i were you also take it for a couple of mile drive, keep everything nice and lubed.

 

Hoping to be at the Midland meet 27th March so you all can take the pi$$ out of me......... :rolleyes:

 

Rich :)

Glad you got it started!

 

You've got an external fixator haven't you? You'll have to start thinking of some creative ways of incorporating it into your Z once it's off! :cool: Mounting brackets for some shiny bits? :)

 

I used to have a couple of huge stainless steel 'nails' that ran the length of my femur. I thought about using one as a rear brake caliper brace on my bike, but then I bought a GSX-R750 and then a Fireblade, neither of which has a bracing arm. Maybe I should have gone retro and bought an old Z650! :)

 

Good luck matey!! :dance:

LOL, I,ve got an elizorof (sp) external fixator so the difference is it's got 6 adjustors on it, so hopefully i will be able to make something out of it.

It is all made out of titanium so maybe MAC might want to buy a few bits off me for lightweight bits for his Z.

 

I also had 10 pins and 1 fooking great big pin in my upper leg and knee, i'm still thinking what i can do with them. ;)

 

Cheers mate for the best wishies

 

Rich

Nothing wrong with a z650! :mad: :mad:

 

I'm showing my age I know but I had a lot of fun on (and off) mine.

 

Hope your recovery continues Chunk, and is as painless as possible.

There's always lubrication if it starts to chafe... :duffer:

 

 

Simon :D :D

I miss mine too after some scab decided to break into my garage and steal my GSXR750 and then torch my garage with my GPZ600R still in it.

 

 

the gixxer was found a couple of days ago in a field.

 

Doh...I thought chunk had returned when I saw this 4 year old thread pop up.

Yeah what's the deal with all this reopening of old threads recently ?
