Hey guys what's up?!

I've been away from the board and the ZB for a while. Just checking in and seeing how you guys are doing? What's new on the ZB front?

I suspect Tmas has bought up all the ZBs within a 1000 mile radius of his home by now.

I haven't touched the ZB in about 1.5 years. Poor thing has been neglected sitting in the basement. I got into jetskis for a couple summers and bought a Suzuki Burgman 650 Scooter this summer. Been busy with other toys.

I need to renew my interest in the ZB. I'm thinking of buying a 160cc (is that still the biggest chinese engine available?) and bolting it in this fall.

there still might be a couple in hiding somewhere in Ontario, but from what I have read about tmas and his ZB addiction I am sure they won't last long in hiding.

tmas I'd be more than happy to come to Ontario to intervene and help you break your ZB addiction

What jetski do you have? I am hooked. I want to pickup a stand up before the summer is over. They are intense.

Yep! Biggest "crate" engine you can buy. And also very reasonably priced.

It may be silly but wouldn't you just love to try it? I know I would want to!




Not sure if I would put a KLX headed china motor in a ZB. Isn't that a sin or somthing? I don't think the Honda gods would be happy! LOL

Re: Hey guys what's up?!

I would rather do the motor swap I am working over the chinese ones. Not that chinese is bad, but you can't go wrong with Honda. On another note, yes, I would love to try 192cc.

Don,

This isn't darts or ping pong, you can't get in and out of the ZB game whenever you get bored with your current trendy hobby. You left us Don, with no explanation or warning. We've been calling hospitals and police stations, we even started checking tents and sheds behind registered sex offenders houses.
Jet Ski's? What's next Don? Rollerblades? Model Airplanes?Those gay recumbent bikes with the 12' flags hanging off the back?
Your better than that Don, you have a damn ZB.

Wow, nothing like making the poor guy feel like

The guy steps away to broaden his horizons, seek new adventures, and explore the unknown and right away he is labeled a roustabout, a lollygagger, and a miscreant. Casting dispersions upon his person may sour the man's return to the fold. It could have long lasting effects upon his psyche. Poor d0n could end up like this...
