Fantastic video. Also massive respect to Carl Cox as I do not believe he gets the recognition for all his backing and passion he has and gives to bike racing/riders🏍🏍🎶 Any chance of you and Carl doing a KZitem video together?

Priceless! This is what KZitem is for. Let us know when you get to run that, I for one would travel to see and, more importantly, hear that going full chat. GS1000 was my first dream superbike back in the 70s. Posters on the wall and everything.

Beautiful machine, it's pretty these old school machines, a not easy awakening, big sweats, but it started! I own a 1100 gsxr from 1988, and if it hasn't turned for a long time, I take my time with it, disassemble the candles, a dose of magic product in the cylinders, bleed carburetors, and expose the sun to chase away the ambient humidity. Gradually she coughs a little, and she starts again without suffering! 😜 Good luck, they are superb! Phil.

Bob's your uncle? :D We met back in 2019 Michael at PI for the IC, when you rode for Team NZ under Cox. I provided you with a bunch of pics of you and the team racing. I was a guest of the NZ team doing some photos and just hangin with the Kiwis. I've built a couple of street legal XR69ish tributes .... you can see one of them over on my channel. Glad to see this one coming back to life, the framework is certainly a master class in brazing.
