Cousin is back riding..

Post by ZRX61 »

Sold his Blandit 11 or 12 8 years ago, recently bought an RD400 & has been restoring it (but will now be parting it out). Yesterday he bought this which is in remarkable condition for a 27yo bike in the UK.

A few days ago he was trying to pick between a '99 ZR-7 & a '07 Z750-S, then this ZZR popped up

He does detailing for a living, or valeting as you call it for some reason.
