I wish I could say the pictures were taken as I pulled into my drive - but unfortunately not!

Thanks for comments -
Hi Zapo !
I sold my KH400 in 1980 !
The S however is progressing since last year's session at Twistgrip motorcycles has improved things.
Still not 100% perfect for me.
If you want to meet for a coffee (maybe Abbots Bromley again?) I can bore you to death with the full story!

A meet at donnington park cafe might be easier for you.
I'll message you next time I'm free.
Cheers

What a great looking bike. As happy as I am with my j I do miss my A2 which looked identical to yours except mine had Ally wheels, but I do prefer the wire ones. I must try to find some pictures of mine but it was 45 years ago.

The only pics I could find of my A2 are terrible but I can't expect much more as small pocket cameras where rubbish 45 years ago. I don't even have any decent photos of my Suzuki GT550.
Hopefully I may find some at my dad's house as he had good cameras.
