Hi everyone, just got my first Kwaka, thought i would do a bit of a search for info on em and found this forum. Cant belive the amount of info and advise, great site.
The bike I have is a KH 100 G7, not green....but still. Always had a thing for the green machines, it started when I was a boy and the kid up the road got a KX 80, first of the water cooled mods. We loved it, the people next door, not so much.
Good to meet you all

Thanks for the welcomes
Be carefull what you say about Cooktown, you could upset the hillbilly freaks.....
Close to Cairns.... Mareeba, a small town that happens to have a decent size kart track that is used for motocycle raceing.
Thats how I ended up with the Kh100 bucket, best fun and only 10 mins away.

Seiko, yep for sure, the Gillies would have to be one of the best rides around

Hey Romeo, good to hear from another Northerner. Are you a member of the FNQ Road Racing Club or have you been up the Mako Track for a spin?
Thanks for the welcome everyone
