I finally caved in to my desire to get back on two wheels. It's been 11 years since I last rode a motorbike, and I'm now the proud owner of a 1996 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 (couldn't afford the Triumph... yet!). I found Zef on ebay, it looked like it had been well maintained, and was in great condition. After winning the auction we took a quick (?!?) trip to Mudgee, about 500km's from here, to collect it. It was a great ride back for the first 400km's, then just outside Armidale it started raining. By the time we were 50km's from home, it was dark, raining and foggy! Not conditions I want to ride in again in a hurry!!
