Kawasaki KZ400 shakedown

yesterday was a nice sunny Sunday
well for me at least..
early in the morning I left with Michal Dudzinski on his kz400 four inline from Amsterdam to Utrecht to meet Jerd on his SV650, Miob on his cb750 and Zoran on his KZ400 twin for the kawaski KZ400 twin shakedown. Miob finished some parts for Zoran and that seemed the perfect reason for a trip along the Vecht. it all started very nice. Miob knew a nice old windmill to take some nice shots but when we stopped I noticed Zorans rear tire was a little flat. it turned out a nail was sticking in his rear tire.... We "fixed" the tire and decide to skip the scenic route and go back to Amsterdam a.s.a.p.
halfway, the front brake of the kz400 started to make some very strange noises, the front light almost fell off and when we came of the highway we noticed the kawa engine was smoking...
but we made it and had a great time, ha!
after we drank some hot thee at Zorans place, Jerd went back to Rotterdam and Miob allready left us earlier on. Zorans bike needed some rest so Michal and I decided to go to Halfweg on our own to make some action shots. something we wanted to do with the group but we'll do that next time if we have more luck.
