This seemed to be following awfully close behind me today...... 
'Can you guess what it is yet?' (said in a Rolf Harris accent)
20 years ago this summer, after a few years of abuse from my mates for riding cheap, nasty old bikes with no street cred - I had a 400 Superdream while they had RD 400's, I had a Kawasaki GT750 while they rode GPZ600's and 900's - you get the idea
Anyway - way back in 1992 I bought a 3 year old Kawasaki ZX10 - It was fantastic and I loved it but unfortunately someone wiped me out on it on the way home from work one day and that was the end of the ZX10.
I played with cars instead for many years but recently got back into bikes with a new Yamaha 600 but still yearned after the old ZX10 so after a last minute impulse bid on one this week it was off to Birmingham this morning to collect it.
Loaded up for the journey home.....
and safely back in the garage, not had a proper chance to look it over yet but all seems ok so far - front brake is a bit spongy, exhaust blows a bit on the joint and it could do with a service but generally I'm pretty pleased.
Updates to follow when I've taken it for a proper test ride.
