the bike pic on my profile is me at Cadwell around 1990/91 on a Kawasaki KR1S 250, racing in the Supersport 400 class. Unlike these days where folks enjoy the Go Pro stuff almost as much as the event itself, I don't have many pics form those days and what I did have was lost in a fire many years ago. This one made it because it was on my Dad's study wall at home. :D

Is there a picture of the landing Steve? :o :D

Great job on the bike. Really cool. Real retro rather than something tarted up to look so.
Those headlights look huge!

The rebuilt Harris looks great, as for the Kawasaki picture, I'd be very proud of that, epic shot :)

Well it was a big day today, I got round to the MOT and it passed with no advisories. It will now be rolled back into the garage until I decide what to do with it. To be honest, after 25 years I never thought I'd get it back on the road so I'm very pleased with myself. :)

And so you should be Steve, its a cracking post and the bike looks great.
I think you should use it now and again, just to keep it running. Not sure if it is valuable ? its valuable to you and all that history of course.
It would be a shame to stick it back in the shed and forget it.

Nice one. “No advisories” is testament to the work you put in.

after a new coat of paint over the winter I took the Harris for its first proper ride today. It started with a few laps round the block and I ended up at the Chalet. It didn't miss a beat :D
