Best sets of leathers ever!!!!!

I remember the AMA freaked when Aldana first showed up with them. At first they did not want him to wear them.

Wonder if he stole the idea for them from John Entwistle? He had a skeleton outfit back in 1970 at Isle of Wight.

I have a copy of Sideburn Magazine where they interview Dave Aldana, and he said what actually happened was he got a DNF in the first race with the leathers, but it got to the press that the AMA wouldn't let him wear the leathers, when in reality they didn't care. Aldana did nothing because it was good press for him.

Wonder what it went for back then???

If you buy a set of bare cases from Kawasaki, they don't come with any numbers at all!!!

I bought some closeout motors from Kawasaki back in 1981 or '82 and they came with numbers.

Kawa sold a bunch of complete H2 750, KZ900, KZ1000 motors for 500 BUCKS EACH!!!!

I bought a bunch of them just for the parts. Dealer cost on just a crankshaft was 225 bucks back then!!!
