Hi, I'm Freddie, and I own a 1998 ZZR600, a lovely machine in very good condition. I am married, have interests that include photography, piano, writing, and drinking lots of wine - not necessarily all at the same time. I live in a very rural location in Suffolk UK and I am old enough to be your grandfather - in fact, chances are I AM your grandfather. I have 2 grown daughters and several grandkids, as well as a great-grandkid. Despite my age, I am active and happy, and find the ZZR a tad uncomfortable now, but still enjoy getting my leg over (the bike, sir) when weather permits - something that comes around every decade or so, here in the good old UK. Nice to be part of the forum, will post when I can, have joined primarily because I like the Kwackers, and if you can excuse the liberty, I also wanted to ask a question that concerns my bike. I will post that soon. Cheers!

You'd have to be well into the triple digits to be my Grandfather!! Welcome ! This is a great forum. Lots of friendly knowledgeable people. I'd imagine you've picked up quite a few bits yourself along the way. I had the privilege of many years ago of spending 3 months in the U.K.. That was back in 1974. I'm told that U.K. doesn't exists anymore. Same here, but somethings never change. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the club Grampy, but if you think you are the only old geezer here, think again.

We have a broad spectrum of almost all ages here from kids working on their first mini-bikes to folks in their 70's and possibly higher.

Thanks all, just to clarify, I am 74 - but I'm still young inside!

Welcome from another UK member (first grandchild due in March).

The ZZR600 is a great bike, I bought mine 32 years ago! Long gone now though. Smaller bikes are all you need even though the zzr is good for 150mph; big bikes are really only about vanity, particularly over here in the uk.

Ask away, we are a helpful bunch and any question, however stupid you may feel it is, is valid. We have all learnt new things due to apparently stupid questions this past year.
