Lee Doxey's Kawasaki MT1

I always fancied a monkey bike but for me there was only one to have and that was the Kawasaki MT1 as its quite rare in the U.K. and came from the same period as the triples.
So in between my restorations I bought a 1974 MT1B to restore, a big bonus with this bike was that that it actually ran, very rare for me.
I thought this restoration would be a breeze being a little bike but to be honest it was almost as difficult as some of my previous restorations as the past owner/s maintained the bike to a lower standard than I liked.
On completion the bike rode very well putting a huge grin on my face.
