Another new member from the UK

Post by relisysxx »

Having read Crispy duck's introduction I thought I'd better also say hello from the UK, not only from the UK but from the same town!
Anyway, I owned a '79' about 20 years ago and always regretted selling it, so bought myself a 'Z' project that was imported from South Africa to restore, then a few weeks back I spotted a 'hoard' on Ebay so promptly bought that as well so I am now the proud owner of three CBX's and a truck load of parts! (and a full garage).
The Silver bike is a 1 owner UK bike that has only 7000mls on it but has been dismantled since around 1992 I reckon.
The red bike is a CBX1000A that was imported from the US and was also dismantled a few years ago
The last bike is the South African 'Z' that is is one piece but needs restoring.
There is also a spare motor, carbs, a new tank, a new 'A' tail piece and loads more!

The red bike will be the first to get some attention now I've just about finished my current restoration

Well if the Kawi is an indication of your restoration skills i will certainly be following along on the CBX build.
