Chronicles of Alan; Lucas 6

I had ordered a set of plans to build a Formula 27 Sportscar, very similar to a Lotus/ Birkin 7 with more advanced Front Suspension.

Had plenty of discussions with the Designer and asked what alterations I would have to make to do a Rover V8 engined one?

Will follow up on this later!

It is the 14th of July 1980 I am on my way to Lucas, stop at a Traffic Light , Wow ,it's My Birthday 34 years Old , man ,am I over the Hill!

Ride up the ramp, stop my Z 900 and realise , Hang on, I am 33 today, that's not so bad?

It has also been a year or two since I was playing in a Band! ( setting up for next edition)

1980 was also the Year that the most radical looking Bike design up to that point , The Suzuki Katana was released in South Africa.

Used the same Motor as the GSX 750 and 1100 models but tweaked for a bit more power., and the 1100 Model was one Bike that my Modified Kawasaki could not beat.

Every Morning I was dropping Wayne off at School on the way to Lucas.

I am setting up the scene for the Next in the Lucas series , where some Drastic changes are waiting to happen!
