Celebrating The LadyBug 1 Year

Dear friends,

What a ride this year has been! Today this small and home-like blog just turned 1 year old! I am having mixed up feelings about this but they are all positive in the end. When I started this blog I wanted to make it easier both for me and for my family & friends to see what I am doing. Before starting this blog I had constant questions about how and what am I doing and what are my plans. Now the plans are out here for them to see and to ask away questions. In this way I never got the same question twice - as I used to :) 
This blog went through a couple of phases where I had no clue how it would look like, how many tabs and subjects I would talk of, and as time went by this place became larger and larger and from posting pictures I did with short lines of description it turned out into a "full time job" :) Maintaining a blog and finding ideeas to write about each day sometimes can be quite of a challenge and I am proud to say I have done this for a full year and never missed a day! I dunno if I will keep going in this pace or I will ocasionally take some time off and not write for a day or two - most certainly I would need to do that in August, when I have the Church Ceremony + Wedding Party...
Along the way I met some adorable/gorgeous/amazing/creative/funny people in this trade and I must say I love bloggers and I love blogging! If one would be able to have it for real a full time job, now that would be something! :) Unfortunately as far as I tracked, here in Europe is not that frequent - rather in the States, where as usual the possibilities are unlimited, but maybe as I will blow the 1 year muffin I will make a wish for it ;) Anyway... if I would wish upon a star I would also wish for blogging conferences and meetings... closer to Poland :) and I would wish for inspiration and time and patience and subjects and freedom of speech - all combined make the perfect ingredients ;) 
***
I would like to thank each and every one of you lads/lasses for sticking around and reading my stories or just enjoying my pictures. A grand thank you also for the lovely ladies and gentlemen who took their time to write to me or comment the posts I had until now :) A big hug to my awesome husband and my family back home for being the best supporters I could ever have :) A warm bear hug for Bekah for being there and supporting me along the way :* and for Bonnie and her amazing skills in taking photos - she is the one who got me started into #traveltuesday :) also for the delicate Carina - all the way from Australia - who has the most yummy reciepes and adorable warm light pictures :* and loades and loades and loades of hugs and kisses and muffins for everyone reading this! If ever you are in Poland/Romania while I am there, just drop me a line and I shall be your guide :) 

P.S. I would dearly love to hear your opinions on my year so far and if you have any tips/tricks or suggestions for me, up your sleeve :)  I will dully note it down and see what I can alter :) Have a lovely weekend, dear sweethearts :*

Yours truly,
A Thankful LadyBug & An Adorable Moose

Kawasaki Z 1000 R Special 1

Le molteplici specials su base Kawasaki Z che ho scovato un pò di tempo fa sul portale giapponese Bikebros.co.jp sono, a mio avviso, davvero degne di nota e mi sono ripromesso, nel momento in cui le ho trovate, che avrei condiviso con voi questi autentici "gioielli".
Anche in questo caso, purtroppo, le informazioni e le immagini della moto sono davvero scarse.

La base di partenza di questa realizzazione è la Kawasaki Z 1000 R dei primi anni 80 sapientemente modificata e resa attuale con pochi ritocchi estetici e sostanziali interventi tecnici. Il look tipico delle maxi anni 70 è rimasto intatto e il carattere da muscle-bike è stato esaltato dal possente retrotreno e dallo splendido terminale nero a megafono, prodotto dallamericana Kerker. Oltre alle nuove misure di pneumatici, la moto è stata resa più "equilibrata" nelle proporzioni anche con ladozione del nuovo manubrio.

Dal punto di vista tecnico sono stati effettuati molti interventi che spaziano dal nuovo forcellone prodotto dal noto atelier nipponico OVER, alla nuova forcella a steli tradizionali su cui sono installate pinze Sumitomo di provenienza Yamaha. Decisamente splendidi i nuovi cerchi a razze prodotti dalla Galespeed. Anche il motore ha subito modifiche di un certo rilievo: oltre alladozione del nuovo scarico e di nuovi carburatori Keihin, la cilindrata del quattro cilindri in linea di Akashi, originariamente di un litro, è stata innalzata a 1105 cc.

Semplicemente meravigliosa!

Francè
