Sumner in the snow with your XL175, th SL125, XL250 & TS185(185?) are great.
Rode my XL175 two up (boyfriend at the time on the back)up to the snow with my mates to the TV?/radio tower at the top of the Saddle Rd out of P Nth. The ice was a killer coming down but boy did we make a good snowman. Took my camera that day.
I so wish like you I took my camera all the time.
Your fotos merv are brillant!!

Got treated to a copy of 'On Any Sunday ' from XRJohnny a couple years back FAB
Amazing to see the hare scramble go through the little town of Elsinore where the CRs & later MTs got their name from.

Showing my age but bought one new in 1974 - my first road legal adv bike. It was very easy to ride & stable in even the thickest pea gravel. Rode it to West Otago to my first job, where on my days off I would ride it up the forestry tracks on the Blue Mountains. Happy days & I sold that bike for more than I had paid for it.
Later on I bought another to use as a farm bike & it towed a trailer for most of it's life.
Saw this one racing at CAMS meet @ Ruapuna on Sat. It wasn't the slowest in it's class, it often got the "hole shot" & it's owner was having a ball.
Great bikes for their time & very versatile.

Yeah, that's Tony Macs bike, he got a second in race 1 on it

Obviously an expert, he's got the rear shocks maxed out for travel.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
