Short story

A friend and myself were due to go to the Isle of Man this year on our sports bikes. 2 weeks before we were due to go, I ruptured my Achilles tendon and ended up having an operation and my leg in plaster. So..... the only way to go was to load up the Z13 with 2 lots of gear (plus crutches) and sit on the back with my leg in plaster. I can't say that it was the best of journey's sat on the back of your own bike for 240 miles each way knowing that I would not be able to ride it when I got there, but at least we were both able to go. Needless to say, the zed attracted far more attention than either of our sports bikes would have done!!!!
