Below, a quote from the ownerâ€¦.

â€œWe all sat on the hill behind Joan's canteen and marvelled at the sight and sound of John Lynch's Belly tank roar across the lake. Twelve months later I had converted a wrecked motorcycle into a racing bike that won't take corners.â€

Modified 1981 Kawasaki Z1000 J
Class: MPS 1000 (Modified, Partial Streamlining, 1000cc)
Highest speed recorded - 157 MPH March 2000
The motor produces approx. 100HP and remains relatively stock.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Salt lake racing, I wonderâ€¦. Is there a faster sport?

in the stable:
1981 Kawasaki KZ750
1980 Suzuki GS1000
1980 Suzuki GSX750
1982 Yamaha XJ650 TURBO (3 of)
