Resurrections

Bringing old machinery back to life!

 

A Kawasaki Z1: An amazing motorcyle!

You can restore a machine, or you can resurrect it. Restoration means bringing it back to new; resurrection means bringing it back to life. As they say, it will only be original once, and we respect the patina, not the pristine. The objective in all of our resurrections is to return a machine to perfect running order, not perfect condition. With that in mind, let's go!
