Petrol Shortage Over And A Late Ride Out
Petrol Shortage Over And A Late Ride Out
Today I sent the long suffering out in her car with a petrol can to get some juice for the Kawasaki. When she got back we aimed a gallon of unleaded into the tank and wheeled out the old girl.
As Big Gay Als (bum) Bandit needed an mot he had come to my house on that, and mot’d it around the corner at Stratford Road Motorcycles. We got suited up, and went for a ride to Northamptonshire to visit the owner of The Lonesome Twin Kawasaki Z750 Forums to see if he was still around, and sort out some problems with the website.
I made the executive decision to take the scenic route up the A5 instead of the M1 motorway for this journey. It was gorgeous, the sun shone brilliantly and there was no wind, and taking it easy through the countryside on the Z750 enabled me to take in the autumn colours of the trees.
We encountered a lot of other bikers, out making the most of the crisp but bright autumn day, along the way. The journey was only around 20 miles each way, and seemed to go quickly in both directions.
The guy we visited had taken his Kawasaki Z750 twin off the road for repairs, but we enjoyed a bit of a chinwag about bikes, websites, and friends old and new. Before long it was time to go home again as Big (not quite so) Fat Gay Al had to get back to collect his offspring.
The journey back was also event free, but I took a bit of a detour and went under a bridge to hear the echo of the roar of the Z750 twins single predator pipe. NIIIIICE 
Now I’m just waiting for some headstock bearings and then I will dismantle the front end to replace those yokes (see the last post) before it’s winter rest.
