Papa's got a brand new bag

Or rather, Graham’s got a brand new bike.

As you can clearly see, it’s a Kawasaki something (insert assorted numbers and letters). You can also see he is very pleased with it. Graham is the boss of Highside Tours and the Kawasaki is destined to be one of the track bikes that will be thrashed and inevitably crashed by his customers; so he wanted to get some pleasure out of it before handing over for the destruction derby. It also needs more racy bits attaching before being officially released as a racing machine.

Even so, in its virgin state, Graham was hustling round the track:

I like the rumble strip reflection on the helmet:

Did a couple of publicity shots in front of the Highside banner. Can’t decide whether the bike is best displayed on its own or with added Khun Honda. She is, rather annoyingly, obscuring the red shock absorber spring.

Some of the existing bikes are showing a little wear and tear:

But they still go as fast as ever:

This guy was circulating on his own bike with matching leathers. A little too smart to be a real biker.

Great to see you back at your best; i.e. taking a pic of Khun Honda. Shame about the red whatever. Keep up the good work.
