EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1972, where two adventurous souls, Roger Slater and Reay McKay, stumbled upon a remarkable find in Daytona - the Kawa baggage saki. Determined to bring this Kawasaki gem back to their homeland of the UK, they devised an ingenious plan: dismantling the machine and transporting it as excess hand baggage. Fast forward to the prestigious 1972 Production TT race, where our hero Hugh Evans took on the challenge of racing this unique Kawasaki creation. Despite facing a significant handicap as the only front-runner forced to refuel during the race, Hugh's determination knew no bounds. With every twist and turn of that legendary Isle of Man circuit, he pushed himself beyond limits. As spectators cheered from all corners of the track, Hugh showcased his exceptional skills and unwavering spirit. Battling against formidable opponents with uninterrupted fuel supplies at their disposal, he defied expectations by crossing that finish line in an impressive fifth place. This print serves as a testament not only to Hugh Evans' incredible feat but also to the indomitable spirit shared among motorcycle enthusiasts who go above and beyond for their passion. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time when dreams were realized through sheer perseverance and resourcefulness.
