The Kwaka 500 there reminded me of the one I used to own, what a weapon went like a scalded cat but the handling what handling,I don't know whether any one here has ever ridden one but when you got up a bit pace the frame felt like it had a hinge in it and got the death wobbles! Wish I still had it.
Cheers John

I had one and survived , it was a 500 two stroke Mac 3 , as you say even a straight line was an experience once you got them wound up ,Fell of it one night and broke two bottles .

Here's a picture of my kwaka 500 triple circa 1985. I remember leaving the pub at closing time half cut with one eye shut jumping on and riding home only to be jolted awake when those wobbles started. Lucky to be still here. Stupid when I look back now.
Cheers, John.

I only had mine because I had lost my licence , and you could still get a learners permit for a bike because it had a different set of numbers .
