I recall as a 15 yr old having an awesome poster on my bedroom wall (1981) . The poster was of Robert Holden pulling a wheelie on a Suzuki GS1000R. It was an awesome shot and took pride of place on my wall.

The poster was lost many , many years ago and I am now wondering if anyone else recalls this poster and whether copies are available...?

Its a long shot but in my current midlife crisis , any link to my youth would be much appreciated.....ha ha.

Thanks.

No thats not it , the one I am after is a bit earlier that that . It was put out in about 1980 - 81 and was taken right next to the bike ( from the left side ). The bike was at a full wheelie height.

I think you are correct about it being a GS1000E now I think about it.

If you are able to get copies then I will be very interested in it.

Cheers

I can get you a poster of some random guy from the interet doing a wheelie if you are interested, they are $150, really worth it, not laminated or in a frame and they do have a coffee cup ring on them but sweet posters. Bike might be a Honda Rune with extended forks and air horns I think. PM me if you want one and I will send bank account number for deposit.:eek:

Not a poster, but this is a fairly poor scan of a 6x4 photo I took of Robert in 1980 or '81 at Hawkesbury on the GSX1100
