Aaaah, that takes me back!

KH series - killing machines. I had a few KH250 bikes- one of them had a cheng sin front tyre and an avon skidmaster rear tyre. I could slide the front until it howled like an american car on crossplies while making sparks off the rear stand and exhausts.

Put the willies up other riders at night when I slid past on the inside of them on left hand bends I can tell you!

Was behind a mate who did a very passable impression of a red arrow when he lost the front end at 60mph while riding his KH400 and promptly looped the loop trailing blue smoke.

Another mate did the same with a brand new demo KH500 ....VERY expensive 5 minute test ride that was!

Those were the days
