Quickie divorce...

Besides, it would take me years to get any of them on the road.

give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise
bald and unconvincing narrative."

 

You'd be better spending the money on one that's complete rather than
that collection of scrap.

 

Oh, I know. It's just that I could see myself with that lot filling up the
garage.

Ooooh nice. I've wanted one of those for years. Ditto with the dilemma
though. I kept Bike magazine's 1976 review of the original one for
years, unfortunately lost in a house move.

I can still remember the writer's description of how when the exhaust
broke, it sounded like he was being overtaken by a Massey Ferguson.

It was the supposedly the fastest production machine (132mph IIRC) of
it's time.

 

But Alan Cathcart says that the original 900SS would do 140mph,
and a Z1 133mph....

 

They sound like that with a working and complete exhaust system.

The gearchange is a little, shall we say, Aveling and Porter.
