Kawasaki h1 500
Today I picked up a tidy 1975 H1 500 Triple Not very classy but a bucket load of fun and reminds me of the old days.
I didn't expect to win it (bloody ebay), picked it up from Daybro, the guy had dozens of Kawasaki triples and an 09 naked Bandit he uses for a daily run. He is a bit on the short side and was complaining about the seat hight even though its on the lowest setting. How does that old song go "short people got no reason to live" Sorry of any of your have ducks disease O well going to remove the carbies from it now, the centre cylinder isn't doing much work (exhaust cold)
See ya later Phill

Re: Kawasaki h1 500
Sorry Dekenai, Its ......... Green!!. As for photo's, I have no idea how to do that I will have to ask one of the kids to do that for me tomorrow. I realy wanted a H2 as that was my first road bike, but a couple of scotch's and a six pack made the bike to much to resist at least bidding on
Hey Gus a nice little 400 four might be a good LAMS bike for the lad.

Re: Kawasaki h1 500
Damn nice Phill. My brother quite a while ago now had a H1 that Karl Zegers built for him, (think thats how you spell his name), brilliant job, turned it into a race bike with lights. Had a power band that when kicked in, felt like you were blesssed with an additional instant 50 HP. Drank fuel like there was no tomorrow! Whilst Phill has now mentioned another pruchase, I too would like to come out of the closet with my recent addition...
