Reminiscing

[Big Dave]

Was dribbling in another thread and dragged out some pics of my old Yamahas.
This was my second XS on top of Mt Wellington, Hobart.
Grant's Z1 was always immaculate too.

[Big Dave]

C'mon drag 'em out. Scan 'em if you have to.

[Edbear]

My T500 was never immaculate...

[JimO]

My Z1r around 82, the little bastard on the front has a new 750 gixxer now

[98tls]

Very nice Dave,have got an XS750 and Z650 in boxes stored in a mates container,what i dont have is the $ to get busy on them,one day.

:yes::yes::yes:

[Shadowjack]

At the time, that black'n'gold scheme had a profound effect on me. Still does when I see it on the occasional R1.
OK, then...
one of two CB350's I had back in the late 70's...

I used that bike to travel and work near Tarras - in mid-winter. Had to leave a heater on all night in the garage, otherwise it wouldn't start. Rode it over and back through a snow-covered, iced-over Lindis Pass to get to Sth Canterbury for a party. Happy, happy times...:yes:

No rules in a BD thread.
Whatever you fancy reminiscing about.

Same bike at the end of the earth. Nullabor Plain 1980-ish.

Perth's at the end of the Earth - the Nullabor is just an indicator of what's in store........

The way the featureless plain just ends and falls vertically into the abyss of the Bight is like 'here be dragons'.

Culturally Perth is the end of the earth.

Mate. Have you not yet visited Gore? What about Launceston Tas.?

[unstuck]

Yeah as a town GORE sucks,but southland is a bike lovers haven.We have it all, without the crowds.:yes:

[Big Dave]

Mate. Have you not yet visited Gore? What about Launceston Tas.?

Yep - and lived in WA and Tas for more than a year.
Gore is a friendly and progressive town compared to being from Sydney and living in WA.

Yup. Top of the Ahuriri Arm of Lake Benmore I suspect.

[Big Dave]

That's a cool pic. I had a few pals with 400/4's too. I had a SR500 at the time.

[MD]

I tried this a few years back BD, trying to get people to post pics of their old bikes.

Good to see the old favourite CB400/f Supersport comes up again and again. Great machine for it's time.

Some of mine here;
