I bought a 1975 Kawasaki kz900, brand new, in 1975. I rode with an open face helmet. No water cooling. Flexible frame. Jeez. When we were kids. I was 18.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I think THE best part of the Scran would be the company kept which you'd have to give this a 10. You're a good bunch. You know the bike that's been getting my focus lately has been a Kawasaki W800. I must be getting the retro/Steve McQueen craze. Dan's Enfield is a gorgeous bike, and the piping on the seat looked good on the Tube.

[@gzk6nk]

I had a W800 and it really looked like a1969 Bonnie in cherry red and cream. But it was a bit lacking in both power and braking, but probably no more so than other retro 800s with one front disc.

[@terrydenton3474]

Ive had a W800 and regret letting it go . they hold their price really well. Have a test ride on one they are a great bike. Im sure your will want one after the test ride.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

@@terrydenton3474 I think you are right, a test ride would seal the deal for me. I had a conversation with my Kawasaki dealer yesterday and of course the W800 came up. He wasn’t sure when, or if, they would be getting one in. I have a couple bikes that I’d need to sell to make room for a new bike so next Spring will probably be the time to make the move for me.

[@glenncaukill1320]

Exactly. Passed my test in '82 and pretty much been riding ever since. I don't need to get my knee down, am not into 0-60 times, but I do like a good long swooping scenic ride and the occasional tour - the highlight of mine being the Alps. Biking is all about what you want it to be, and not what others think it should be. It's refreshing for the soul. You either get it or you don't. I get it. I love it. I'm never giving up (until I physically can't get on a bike). Until then I'll carry on, enjoying the camaraderie and banter that you get even from other bikers you've just met! Great vid TMF and great comment bikesforme.

Just watched this video for your comments on the Z900rs. I'm tempted to indulge myself and get one. I use a Beeline satnav and really like it. It's discreet and simple though does struggle navigating large roundabouts and complex junctions. You get ysed to it though. I've just returned from touring in Normandy and Brittany on my RE GT650 and the Beeline was excellent locating holiday accommodation hidden in deepest, darkest countryside. I will get to Gilks one day too!

[@boblynch7535]

Hate to date myself, but I owned 3 Commandos in the 70’s. 2 750s and a 850. Dead reliable and no oil leaks. Went out on group rides with Harleys and Bmers and most often the Commando was the first to start in the morning. My only issue was with the 850 and that had an early Boyer Brandsdon (?) electronic ignition that left me high and dry in Wyoming’s Snowy Mts. Anyway, the Norton in the Gilk’s run we knew as the “Interstate”, Norton’s touring bike. It may have only been marketed in the States.

Well well well! How are you old boy? When was the last time we met up, over 20 years ago I think?

@@geoffakachuckstrummer Nearer 25 years I think. Glad to see you are fit and still riding a Kawasaki. I have now retired to Cornwall and sadly been riding BMW's for the past 10 years. This is about to change though!!
