I had three at one time, one indoors, one in the camping gear and the other was probably the best engine that I've ever driven 8-)

Are we talking about the Kawasaki 3 cylinder two stroke? Never owned one.

It was a Suzuki, three cylinder, two stroke. Jack Findlay won the 1973 Senior TT on one.

Yes, only too well :roll: With our kettle IIRC we only had one DNF and that was due to a broken chain! Perhaps I never rode mine as hard as Dad did his ;)

3 kettles and 2 tea urns, Should of had the urns when the kids were small, it would have saved them a lot of times going to put the kettle on :D

I have a kettle, no idea how to use it because it came free with my wife. Luckily she does know how to use it.
