Would they not let the BMW in?

Or do you secretely have a Guzzi.

And change the lighting setting on your camera to fluoro. I've never seen a KTM Orange LeMans before.

More my style of Guzzi, luv them old beasts

I'm very fussy about where I'll park my bike, wouldn't want to catch anything...

'78 XS650E, nice job of converting, not radical - just common sense

Yamaha YL1. 4 speed. Used it on short circuit back in '68. But I could not stay on it.( I blamed all my falls on the short wheel base) but I just didn't have a clue.

Now proposed as a coffee table talking piece. A few screws & carby's & it's there

Some pics (not by me) from a Black Duck Rally, probably 1985.

hunter_greyghost · 11-23-2012, 01:31 AM

Nice photos Dave, have some old ones from '70's Alpine around somewhere, I'll have a look

here's one from '79, Huon Valley, Tassy, probably posted before but shit happens!

Cheers

Good effort thanks

Bit intrigued by slowbikes pik. Must be one hell of a bumpy road the bird is ridin. Either that or she is doing something she doesn't really enjoy but must make the effort? Anyway, I am all for the Aussie site for old folks......and their not quite as old equipment. I have fingers crossed my '85 gr650 will survive the roadworthy tomorrow and join the throng.
