Jean Aker (one of the famous spice boys).
His bike is seen here in Daytona beach USA.

This 1978 Kawasaki 750 is allowed on the picture page because within
it's frame beats the heart of an early model XS650. Arthur from the
Nederlands 650 group says he bought it this way.
He bought it "pretty in pink" and then painted it black.
A good choice I think.

This is what Bambam bought for $160.00 Canadian

this Taxi-Yellow beauty. Note the cut-down lunchbox as a battery box!
He says he has two "north American" cycles
but has the most fun on his "Lil Yella Bike"
