when she was blonde, it used to take her ages to dye her roots brown....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

think I proved that today by having great fun changing the battery on a car, did it in the end after I got the right size thing to fit!!!!!

Oh and apparently riding a motorbike is an extreme sport that uses up no callories

Sorry to go back to old post, but as they were part of my history, I have to say that old smokers always were, and probably still are, good fun now.
Although the Falco would always be my favourite, a win on the double rollover lottery this weekend, would see a smoker in my garage. Never ridden an RG500 but in past years did lust after one.
Did have a good play on my mate's 500 Kwack triple, went very well but never got chance to fully test the handling (??).
Had two KH350s, which were fine in their time, plus a Suzy T350 twin and GT380 triple.

lol

i also had the kwacka triples - 250, 350, 400 and 500

very swift in a straight line... but an interesting approach to braking and cornering....

My mates and I cut our teeth on Kawasaki triples. I loved my S1! However, one of my mates completely rebuilt an H2 750, made a lovely job of it and wrecked it on its first outing. It got itself into a big tank slapper while accelerating on a straight road and spat him off. However, he did have a reputation for crashing so I'm not sure that the bike was the problem! Fortunately, he wasn't injured.

I've never had the chance to ride a Kawasaki triple though I always wanted to. Used to love the smell when behind them - though that didn't last too long as the 400/4 was soon past them.


I did get a ride on an MV 350 sport though and I'd not swap that for a go on a Kwack triple.
