My H2b/c

KAWASAKI H2b, 750cc, Bought in June 1999.

2000 - 2002         Go to the Restoration story....

2000, just after the rebuild, I had just fitted the mag wheels, we had already had a ride out to North Wales, I had been warned that H2s weave around a lot on twisty roads, several months later I discovered that I had forgotten to tighten up the swing arm pivot! Doh!
That seat was / still is like sitting on a brick wall and you can't do it for long.

Setting off for a ride out to the Craven Collection in Stockton on Forest near York in 2001, luggage rack had been added for the Southport Thundersprint and Nabs Head earlier in the year, these days it seems to be a permanent fixture, I had also lowered the front end, to bring the seat height down a bit having nearly toppled a few times.

We stopped at the Old Squires caff in Sherburn (now a courtyard of houses) before the next thrash to Stockton.

When we went to Thoresby Hall car and bike show in Notts, I thought I might as well join the show lineup, it was for free after all (cheapskate), 'Young' Bob was also there on his stunning Z1.

2003 - 2004

Filling up at the 2003 Northern Triples Rally, or rather watching everyone else fill up.

Early Morning parked outside the weekends temporary 'house' for the Southern Triples Rally, the hill doesn't look nearly as steep in a picture.

Race? The Kwack would win hands down... there's no engine in the Lightning at Doncaster Air Museum, there's no engines in any of them come to think of it.

This is the side you don't get to see too often, pictures of Triples are almost exclusively taken from the right hand side! The seat has just been lowered to bring the ground closer to my legs.

2006 - 2008

Mikel Katzengreis took this picture of her at the 2006 Triples Northern Rally, unfotunately I lost all my pictures that year, the no1 suspect?
I had the camera on my lap whilst riding, this puts it right above the ignition boxes... just where my nuts sit too!

In April 2007 there was a somewhat chilly ride out to Devils Bridge, a well known watering hole for bikers, on the way back at Ilkley it was fill up time. About 100 yards after this picture, Ray's blue 500 (in the middle here) expired with a charging problem.

Sam got this shot of me leaving the 2007 Southern Rally in search of an evening meal with Delboy and Phil the paint(?), don't laff at my little legs.. I must get some thicker jeans. I added the fairing for the German Rally a month earlier and it's sort of become a permanent feature along with the rack since then.

Here she is at the 2008 Northern Triples Rally, there was just enough time to show both bikes before the rain returned with a vengeance.
