Looking through some old photos found this one taken in Nottingham around I think end of 1978. Some brave soul on Z1A decided to brave the winter weather - you can see snow on the pavement. Thought this might be of interest especially if anyone still running around on this bike.

I had a bike originally from Leicester (KH250) on an R plate that came from Russells Main Kawasaki Dealer - even had their logo and telephone number on the number plate.

Russells were Loughborough , Ray Wilson was a dealer in Leicester itself for a while.

Good job that rack wasnt an inch taller or it would have needed planning permission.

Ray Wilson was a Speedway rider , I never went to his shop so I dont think he was in business too long. Russells is still there or was last year.
