A most outstanding book, and one I have now had for a number of years.

It has some great stories in it about *old racing Kawasaki's* (hint for Lainie), and is a 'must-have' for any Kawasaki fan.

What I liked most was the ZX12 on the front cover (finally got one of those), the Z1000 on the rear cover ( have several of those), and the 500 triple on the back cover (got its bigger brother, H2). Its fun being a one-eyed Kawasaki freak-show !!

Good stuff Yoda, now you *should* be able to unravel the mystery that has been plagueing Lanie for a couple of days.........
