[]Kawasaki had a good stand at the Show with a nice selection of bikes.  Unfortunately I didn't get chance to visit properly as I was  involved in the Kawasaki Triple Club stand for the whole weekend.

The Show must have been a resounding success as there was a massive crowd of people there

I managed to win a prize with my H2c which was presented by Steve Parrish

Nice one on the win. However, can I suggest you don't squeeze Steve Parrish's hand too enthusiastically. He looks in pain.

Rog!!!!! is that purple peril original, or has it been rebuilt?.

Its been completely rebuilt Geoff, BUT using all the bikes original parts  or where replacement parts were required I sourced N.O.S (New Old Stock) parts from a number of contacts from around the world, specifically a contact in New Zealand.

Don't ask about the costs.... :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed: however I wouldn't change it for anything its totally stunning and great to ride apart from the brakes  :mfr_lol:
