Meet 'Shrek' (Z1000)

Picked it up from Stoke on Trent last Monday.

I think that might be tad quicker than your old bike

It looks like its been well looked after, I do like the exhaust

Very nice bike John - you'll have fun on that.

Love the look of those four pipes, always thought bikes looked better with pipes either side, more balanced.

Does it sound as good as those pipes suggest it does ?

Yes Mart, she sounds awesome, I've got to get used to the extra power again but at least the riding position is quite comfortable.

love it real eye catcher the pipes are great looking many happy miles

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!! it looks stunning   get some lessons booked at a wheelie school 

Looks like a proper hoodlum tool   .... enjoy your new bike John

Beautiful, just beautiful .... and in the correct colour too

Cant see that as a problem considering the "main" contributors have either replaced or augmented their intruders too! Over the past couple of years this forum has evolved from c800 only to "we are all sick and twisted love bikes and a laugh"

Certainly a head turner, great looking machine John.

Sick and Twisted - speak for yourself. I am calm, kind, considerate, do not swear, blaspheme or fart in public, especially in front of girls (so you're OK Justine). I don't steal - unlike Peter and Sim and Mal and probably Mart, Alan, Mick and the rest of you (the cups are on loan from Route 59, Squires, the Barn and the Ponderosa.), I don't attack abuse or otherwise terrorise knob-head car drivers. I don't dog others off, insult or upset, windup or take the piss - that's Sims speciality and he's good at it. I don't wish ill of anyone (except David Cameron, Boris Johnson, twaty car drivers, the taxman, all politicians, people with more money or hair than me, my next door but 3 neighbour, my bosses, all Capricorn's and minger gingers....oh and cats, most dogs, lottery winners and Steve Christian - hated him since primary school) I always give businesses the benefit of the doubts and would never say things like - 'Don't use Custom Cruise - they are crap' or 'Don't take you van to Walkden Commercial MOT and Repairs on Walkden Rd, Walkden, Manchester tel 01204 706070 because they even more crap'. I don't believe all wrongdoers should be put down (like Sim does), only those that piss me off and I believe that this is a free country with free speech and has a fair and open attitude to race, creed, religion, sexual orientation and immigration - unless any of that affects me and then they should be shot! - There...feel much better now!

I also do not correct people as it can undermine there self esteen, confidence and self value nor do I place the blame on others - but you are wrong wrong wrong and wrong again. Pillion Missus is the guilty one with the camera!

Damn and I thought Sim was the one with issues

There are worse people than Sim? he's not that bad really.... is he?

Think there's been a slight mix up with the 'Johns' Peter. John (Stingray) bought the new bike and didn't do the rant- John (aka Johnboss or me) has a Pillion Missus and wrote the rant.

On the subject of rants - does anyone know how long it is after you've nicked something that it is no longer classed as nicked - just curious?

ask peter

Personally I think you ought to ask Sim as he's still on the job so to speak.

& John I apologise if I've got the wrong one, I'm putting it down to the hot weather addling my brain or what's left of it???
