I bought a Z550 once as a box of bits, sorted out the wiring harness,
powder coated the frame, painted the tank and side panels gloss

years and then he passed the box of bits onto someone else.

Does that count?

attic space above the garage was where the water tank lived and you
wouldn't believe how much water is contained in a cold water tank. It
was worse than usual 'cos I was on holiday when it happened
