Dunno, But I should ask John about the bike. RG500's didn't have a Yamaha style cantilver swing arm......
Looks like the Goodies to me..:confused:

Yup, you can ask John...
According to Croz's book, John used his aircraft technician skills to make his own mono shock design....
Clever blokes those Air Force boys ;)

Looks like a Ford Thames Trader to me,
The angle of the front door gives it away
The Austin J2 and the Rootes Group Commer both had square edged doors

And your age....
re the pic - the guy in the white Tee I'm pretty sure is one of John's hangers - on, I vaugely remember the face.
Pretty sure the checked shirt is the yank who travelled with Pat Hennen.

I used to stop there in the 70's when I was going to and from Canterbury Uni and it was a good restaurant of the era selling real food like sausages eggs and chips or steak eggs and chips. The real class back then was adding the little pile of coleslaw on the side.

They're not short enough for Stubbies.

What, not the roman sandals? Who wears them these days?

Bit shabby compared to John Bootes crew s fashion of the day. What self respecting mechanic of the era would dare venture out in public without a spark plug armband.

Yes! and......School kids still wear them :msn-wink:

Yikes, who would have known. I used to like it when people wore socks with them, especially odd socks.

They were known in the Mainland as Spyda Sandals - and when paired with a nice set of Kirb shorts, are a TRUE fashion statement

The Kerbinator is now and always was, a fine figure of a man ....... this can be attested to by the hundreds who were present in the Club Rooms one Teretonga prizegiving/post-match drinkies, and the "handover" of the shorts took place ! Could still hear him muttering as he drove away in his under-grunders, in the mighty Laser GT if memory serves ?????
Those were the good old days - North vs South fights, the Black Widow, OHHHHHH the memories ............

Fercrissake I'm still trying to forget a lot of that...including his habit of staying up till 2am then snoring VERY loudly for the rest of the night. How the hell I ever functioned properly at away meetings i still don't know.
How old's Stroud ? Does Trev still hold the record for oldest F1 National wiinner ? 42 when he won Teretonga.

I think you are right that the guy in the checked shirt is Chip Hennen, Don't regonise the chap in the John Woodley t-shirt. John often had mates from the airforce helping him like the Mark Lazenby or Stu Bone.
The bike is a Mk1 RG500 and it had the mono shock conversion as in the photo. The bike had a bit of a checkered past before before John got it as a rider died while racing it at Bathurst when the cast iron brake disc rotors gave up the ghost at the end of conrod straight, about 77. I actually got to sleep next to it as a young lad as it was stored in one of the baches at the Woodley farm. Last Time I was at John's he still had it in his garage.
As for the legend of the Kirby, let it remain legend. :msn-wink:

Budda,

Here's a shot of the bedroom with my room mate the mono shock RG500. There was also a TZ350C under the covers on the left.
