    Something old, something new

    I was at a friend's shop the other day and got to see a rare piece of machinery. This in an '85 Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo. That's cool and all, except as a former Kawi dealer he bought 5 of these; sold 3, kept one to ride, and this particular one he kept in a crate. He pulled it out the other day and cleaned it up, bike is still on the original MSO. I'll quit jabbering now and post the pictures.






    I'm sure those of you still rocking Twisted Sister, teasing your hair, and wearing eye makeup are suffering from an acute condition of your acid wash jeans fitting a bit tighter in the mid section.

    I'm just imagining the sleeves of my snap up satin jacket billowing in the wind

    I'd bet Kawasaki would be intere$$$ted to see this and possibly try to add it to their collection/museum?

    I'm generally partial to well-ridden machines, but seeing something genuinely original and untouched is something special. My dealer (Sonny Angel) recently retired after 60 years in business, in the same location. He had some special stuff in the attic. One in particular -- they dragged out a 1975 Norton Commando, black with gold striping, still new in the crate. That was something to behold.
