Take photos, lots of photos

[Mo NZ]

I will give it a go, at posting that is.

Mimm. Seems no matter what I ride I seem to end up at a pub somewhere.

The point is, it's a great way to spend some time with mates and a beer or two, looking through tragic old photos. I think we've lost this to electronic storage devices. I'm going to start printing photos again.

what, you don't sit down with friends and family over a few bevvies to peruse arsebook?

Browns Bay - 1970 250 Suzuki street scrambler and my original 1965 helmet with purple stripes......Basketball boots didn't really hack it as footware - down to Forbes and Davies and a pair of proper bike boots shortly after



Touring in the Buller Gorge Jan 1974 with my Orange Arai full face. The GT was 3 months old and I was thinking of an S, or SS......



Lake Pearson 1977 - same bike after it had been stolen, painted matt black then found, pushed over a secluded bank in Orewa, repaired and painted Porsche Silver- it made a good tourer. The screen was from a Benelli 650, a mate had made the leather trousers...not a success.

AT2 or CT2 - in 1972 I had a CT2. This is summer 1977, I'm 23 and trying to figure out what's wrong with the Rickman. With no multimeters in those days, it was hard to pick there was a half short in the zener diode, it was only putting out 6 volts. Only do gooders had short hair back then, and I wasn't a nice little do gooder.

RT2 360. Had a CT1 before that.

Looks like an RT-1 to me looking at the 19" front , the RT-2 only had a decal to replace the tank badge from the RT-1 and ran a 21 on the front as did the RT-3, DT-360 and so on.

Nice pic .. I had a Bighorn Kawasaki but never took a picture of it damn

Not sure which pic you are referring to. The first pic is my RT2 360 from 1972. The red bike is my CT1 175.

Below is my mates CT2 175 (with torque induction), my CT1 side on, and Kens DT250. This was at the Atiamuri service stn. 1971

I stand corrected, hadn't looked at the first pic of the RT-2

I had a 72 Bighorn as well. Took pics but they've been lost in house moves, clean outs, and so on. What year was yours? Did the magento rotor come off from time to time?

My sole form of transport back in the day, used more damn petrol than most 4 cylinder cars!

[awa355]

Must've had a hell of a job putting your feet on the ground

[avgas]

Oh god now I have to go digging......
Not sure if I have any of the old stuff. Some of the SLR shots are still in the real world. But lets see this is the virtual stuff I have.


Yeah - most of that stuff is relatively new. I have some RG, RZ, XS, 955 and TS185 pics somewhere in physical form.
