    The cackle and roar from the Kawi triples still rings in my head after 40 years. I would hear these things singing in the night when I was a child, and I dreamed of the day I would own one myself. And I did. Wish I still had it. Nothing makes me tingle like the cackle of a triple with killer pipes.

    That were the days when I got my driving license for big bikes❤. Race bikes were 2 stroke, a long time before 4 stroke engines have had the same power out of the same volume. Suzuki GT‘s, Yamaha RD‘s, those were the good old days of my teenage time. Thanks for bringing back memories 👍🇩🇪😎

    If I live long enough I’m going to build an H1R replica to put my Denco race engine in.
