I had a 74 Z-1 in San Diego in the early 80's as my only mode of transportation. I drove it everyday and on long road trips everywhere, Texas. Colorado. Oregon and Canada. I went through chains and sprockets like a camper goes through flashlight batteries. Other than that the bike was a dream, still one of my most favorite bikes I've ever owned, along with a Suzuki gs1000S, which by sure coincidence is also up for auction right now on this site.", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701716178, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121203, "authorName": "macbec29", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/macbec29/", "bidAmount": 11250, "content": "$11,250 bid placed by macbec29", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701716244, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 13121324, "authorName": "Wilcoxsaw", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/wilcoxsaw/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Macbec, perhaps now that we are both old our chains and sprockets might last a while longer\ud83d\ude09", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1701716540, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121345, "authorName": "Wilcoxsaw", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/wilcoxsaw/", "bidAmount": 11500, "content": "$11,500 bid placed by Wilcoxsaw", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701716595, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 13121488, "authorName": "macbec29", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/macbec29/", "bidAmount": 11750, "content": "$11,750 bid placed by macbec29", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717022, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 13121502, "authorName": "macbec29", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/macbec29/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Nostalgia is a bitch", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1701717081, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121511, "authorName": "Kaymatt", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kaymatt/", "bidAmount": 12000, "content": "$12,000 bid placed by Kaymatt", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717124, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 13121535, "authorName": "jrf", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jrf/", "bidAmount": 12250, "content": "$12,250 bid placed by jrf", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717221, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 13121559, "authorName": "macbec29", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/macbec29/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Uh-oh looks like the deep pocket collectors are making an appearance", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717323, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121565, "authorName": "jrf", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jrf/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Sold on 12/4/23 for $12,250 to jrf", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717342, "type": "bat-bid-reserve"}, {"id": 13121577, "authorName": "ccorato", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ccorato/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Nice ride!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717382, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121582, "authorName": "motcat", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/motcat/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Someone should call the police and report a stolen motorcycle", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1701717396, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 13121601, "authorName": "Kaymatt", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/kaymatt/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "That was a steal!
