Seen her on facebook, she is definitely a challenge mate. Let me know if you need any bits.

Hi Bevan.

Long time no speak, welcome back. You’ve done a great job on your restoration, it looks amazing.

Re the petrol leak I have had the same problem. I have tried all sorts and not managed to fully solve the issue. It is fine on the centre stand so I am going to swap the bowl gaskets for genuine Kawasaki ones as soon as I can find some.

Hello,

Hi Doug and welcome.

Obviously I applaud your choice of engine change. Can we see some pictures of your work?

Is that really the same bike?

Now that’s great save and a real challenge. Are you going to attempt to restore her?

That is quite shocking news Karl. I do wish you a speedy return to health and all the best wishes for your family. Stay strong pal.
It’s such a shame you won’t be there mate but I will raise a glass to you. There is a possible 14 twins going which will be by far the biggest gathering in the UK. I do hope to do it again and that time you will come 👍

.Excellent. Will be good to meet again mate 👍
