No bike should ever be restored .....it soul is lost :mrgreen:
But as soon as you take a photograph of it, part of its soul is lost.

But what if the bike had no soul to begin with…? You'd be a Honda owner

Exactly my thoughts :lol: :lol:
It's faster to break than to repair.

After some deep soul searching and ridden a few *ondas, I feel the teachings of brother Fred61 has indeed some merit :lol:

I astro project, or have out of body experiences. I see vehicles there all the time, I'll check next time if they were restored, or had their frames painted.

2010 Z1000 (50k miles, I think that is like 60 Kilometer's or so)
