Like the funeral pic, The bloke going the other way on the DT? would have been shitting himself
I don't see a Lada - I see a Fiat 125.
Napier was great place in the 70s. Still love going back there.
Well, I'd call it false advertising. Really should be "just the other day Napier". 1970s is hardly OLD.
your right ixion, theres a lotta recent history stuff on old napier..perhaps due to it being a rebuilt city having said that theres a lotta awesome pre earthquake pics, and even better, pre turn of the century pics
jase, i think the guy on the trailbike is riding a dr500s..open face helmet and sidi type boots even!!!! btw theres a few good pics of the onekawa gp too
also jase, you'd know the rider wheelieing that gs1000..... john barrett
