Alfs Motorcycle Track Day

We're excited to announce that Alf's will be hosting a track day at Brands Hatch on Monday 27th July, and we'd love our K-Club members and regulars to join us for a proper day of speed, camaraderie, and pit-lane hospitality.

You'll need to secure your own track time with No Limits first and arrange your own transport, but once you're booked, consider the rest taken care of. We'll have the garage set up, the pit crew on hand, and refreshments flowing — giving you a relaxed base to enjoy the day, share stories, and soak up the atmosphere between sessions.

Whether you're chasing lap times or just coming along for the experience, no matter what level you're at, it's set to be a fantastic day both on and off the track.

If you'd like to be part of it, book a Standard Track Day session that suits your level, and come find us in the garage.

Any questions at all, just give me a call or drop me an email — always happy to help.

See you trackside.

2026 Limited Edition Calendar *NOW £6.95*



Perhaps best known as the man that penned the awesome Ninja H2R, you can now experience the artistry of legendary Kawasaki motorcycle designer Keishi Fukumoto with our exclusive, limited-edition calendar. 


Having chosen a path in design and illustration, plans of a young Fukumoto san came to an enforced hiatus before graduation, when a serious accident left his dominant arm impaired. Undeterred he spent a year retraining himself to draw with his left hand and continued on to study graphic design. Beginning his career in 1990 at K-TEC Corporation of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group and eventually served as Head of Kawasaki's Design Department from 2010 to 2020. He helped bring many motorcycles to market and now works as an illustrator promoting motorcycle culture. 


This special collection showcases his signature illustrations of many iconic Kawasaki favourites, including the Z1, GPZ900 and even the W1 Special. Each image has a perforated edge to allow you to remove the date strip and frame your favourites from the 13 choices. (12 months and front cover) Available exclusively for Club Kawasaki members for just £6.95 marked down from £14.95…. once they're gone, they're gone forever.
