    Wicked bike! And welcome :)

    I've been thinking of move to New Zealand, never been there, but it's far far away and looks awesome.
    What city do you recommend for a non-kiwi who wants to work in the fabrication industry? (preferably machining with CNC machines) :D

    Anywhere but Auckland or Wellington unless you enjoy traffic jams and long commutes

    Welcome. Always room for a biker chick. ;)

    Why does that look like a turbo? Did 750's ever get that body style, or maybe just in other parts of the world?

    Pics of the police bike!

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    That would be a XJ750D. It is the only fuel injected version in the xj line. Unfortunately. It was only available in limited markets.

    Thankfully now, the old boy is up and running, who'd have thought spark plugs were so important :/

    If you can put up a photo of your valve cover it will make it a lot easier to work out

    I also have a XJ750D here in Christchurch, nice to see that there is another one here in NZ.

    Christchurch in the South Island is pretty good for machine work etc.
