Some stunning bikes there. Looks like a must go to event.
Great post.

That's a very nice mk11, colour is great but I particularly like the beefy looking back end with the swing arm and brake hanger plate.

That's very interesting, I didn't realise that the twin coils could fail on one side. You learn something new every day. Thanks.

Great selection of classic kawasaki's. I had a lot of tuning work done on my J in Towcester in the 80s when TTS where in moat lane. Not been back for a long time.

Happy birthday. Thats a very good looking 50 year old.

Some very nice bikes, especially the moriwaki. Looks like a great day out.

It's just that a couple of times I've seen someone at the side of the road take pictures of passing traffic and wondered why. Thanks Kev

What was the site where you found the photos.

My j has 1170 kit, hot cams, gsxr1100 carbs and other tuning work all done in 1985, and ran perfectly fine on original coils until I stopped riding it about 15 years ago.

One of my favourite rides. I was there on Friday on my J and called into Winkle brewery for a swift half of shandy, surrounding roads towards the leek side are great as well.

If it's just the threads that are an issue they should be easily repairable. There are some good inserts about nowadays and most engineering firms will do them for you. Much better than Helicoils.

My mate had one in red in the late 80s and it was a great bike.
A bike in that condition shouldn't have any difficulty in selling.

Lovely bikes the A2's especially in that colour. I agree with philippe about upgrading the front brakes as my A2 had twin discs from new so it wouldn't look like a modification.
