This is what is missing from my current 70's collection, I love the sound of a kawa triple. I wonder if I can convince the financial controller that 4 or 5 bikes are really necessary and a good investment!!!
Some more pics of the current 3 bikes.........

Here's my dad's 400/4 which I very much have my eye on!

I took these photo's last month of my brothers S1 and H1b.
The H1 has since been fitted with a new exhuast system as 1 silencer had a slight dink.
Thanks for putting the photo's up John.

Continuing on the Kawasaki triples theme...

I bought this on ebay



Found out it was featured in Motorcycle Sport in June 1970













This is how it looks now

1976 RG500

Gorgeous.. Tell us more about the history of that one mate.

Why thank you kind sir! Well, it's supposedly ex Steve Parrish, and he is currently checking his records to confirm, but you know how it is with old race bikes, who knows, they all got changed about so much. This bike is an XR14, and has loads of ex Heron nice works bits on it, air forks, works swing arm and remote reservoir shocks, works tank and filler. Must be one of the few not painted like Sheene bikes

You win the thread with that Dingo,fantastic

We got our Montgomery from them a couple of years ago and found the same

Don't you mean 38 years ago?

I have a couple of T160's a 75 and a 77, and a GS400. Unfortunately the photos are too big for here and I have no idea how to reduce the size. Other sites are much easier to upload photos on.

A couple of my 1977 Laverda Jota

Good to see another '77 Jota - was it originally silver like mine (gratuitous excuse for another pic ) ?



Some cracking bikes on this thread guys!

Yes it was... But I wanted an orange one, but I only paid £300 for it as a none runner (ignition module fault) in 1980... Those were the days! I sold it about 5 years ago.
