To be fair, in 1969, I didn't have a record collection, or a car/bike (does an Army Jeep Peddle car count?) but I remember the Shadows being played on the radiogram
The Maori family next door use to play Hendrix, was the first time I heard Purple Haze.
A cousin had a MKIII Zodiac with venetian blinds ...total class!
We had a female cousin living with us (trainee nurse) who had a boyfriend with a Kawasaki, it had MM on the tank, as a seven year old at the time, I thought he was in the Mongrel Mob, could have been Manawatu Motorcycles for all I knew at the time.
SS Camaro beat all others.

Bloody strange forks on the Firebird bandit dude....
I was just finishing primary school (old form 2) and was kacking myself about high school...

What's strange about them? I beleive it's a standard Firebird - I've always loved them - could never afford one back then ... and now they are classics I still can't afford one ... It was three years later I rode my first bike ...

It was 3 yrs after I rode my first bike...watched the moon landing live from a flat in Kirribilli, had got my PPL and was working my arse off to earn enough to carry on flying. End of the year went back to NZ, enrolled at Auckland Uni and bought another bike. The flying petered out for a while........What's strange about them? I beleive it's a standard Firebird - I've always loved them - could never afford one back then ... and now they are classics I still can't afford one ...

I was 16 - It was a Whole Lotta Love. '69 Firebirds had external springs, I don't think they are Cerianis, so probably off some Jap Crap - the bike would've been burned in 1969 for that.

In 1969 BSA were using the 'group' forks. External springs, steel sliders (black) and black headlight ears, rubber gaitors. Essentially they are the same as on our '70 TR6C except by 70 they had better damping (cough)
The whole group (triumph-BSA) changed in 71 to the ceriani look a like group forks and conical hubs.
In your picture look at the brackets holding the front guard on... hmmm....
Nice bikes all the same

Seriously! How can anyone, especially so called Kiwibikers, reflect on 1969 and not come up with Easy Rider first?
Over 40 years and still COOL FLICK MAN. Still the best looking Harleys as well. They had cost control sorted back then. Just check out the low cost front brake mechanism on Captain America's bike. (the riders boot heels)
