Kwacker H1 500

Kwacker H1 500

Hi all , with the shut down of work etc it has given me time to pull a few old classics out of hibernation and the first one I have given a bit of a spruce up to is the H1, it needed a new seat cover and a respray but I couldn’t believe my luck last October at the Stafford show I found a tank side panel and oil tank ready for fitting all resprayed with graphics etc . They didn’t come cheap but respraying my own and with graphics I thought buy these and sell my own. I have it almost finished bar a set of points the centre set of points are a bit iffy at times. Also to see another one here in a recent post its nice to see a few survivors fairly intact

Billy McCosh

Billy McCosh

So sad to hear of the passing of Billy on 5th April. Prior to competing in the sport myself, I always loved to see Billy racing whether it be at the TT (he was entered from 1960 to 1974 – some record !!) or at the Irish national meetings. He obviously held Dunboyne among his favourites – he frequently attended the Spirit Of Dunboyne revival events in recent years riding his beautiful Matchless G50. We will greatly miss him – a great Irish racer !

Another cool find GS1100E

So following on from finding the nice GS1000

I stumbled across this big Suzuki GS1100 and snagged it as ya do.

pulled it outta long term storage

very clean and runs sweet as a nut after

the usual carb clean and oil change.

I’ve always prefered these to the big kwackers.
