(FLF Kawasaki KH250) Love it or hate it, you have to admit it’s different!

Mac found this ‘Beauty’ under a tarpaulin laid in some ones front garden, as he’d seen nothing like it before, he had to have it.

A few years on –  and every component part has been replaced, reconditioned or newly fabricated.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out with this one, especially with sourcing old parts and making new ones (like the fairing ‘bubble’).

Mac met a great bunch of blokes when building this bike and found out that if you look, there is a wealth of experience and knowledge right on your doorstep. The network of old school builders is out there – and they want to help!

It sounds and smells beautiful (for those who remember real two strokes).

Unfortunately she has to go to make some room in the garage – but will be on show at the bike festival next week.
