Had my first Yamaha 80cc I think was a '63 YGT-1B, and went to the '65 YDS2 ( . bikepics . com/pictures/714242/" target="_blank">www . bikepics . com), a 250 twin that was very quick and had won the Isle of Mann in about '63 . Then came the real fast ones . . . . A '77 Kaw ( . flickr . com/49/113009063_8a41f8a495_m . jpg" target="_blank">static . flickr . com)asaki (ttp://www . motorradhandel . ch/kunden_occasionen/1070/KZ650%20Walder . jpg) KZ-650 ( . kawtriple . com/tripleed/kz/3171l . jpg" target="_blank">www . kawtriple . com) (this is a really good pix!, but not of mine) with a small fairing after I decided it was too wet to ride in the fog to and from LA on it . I have a pix of it some where . . . . brb . . . . . here it is -> , I found it! ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/KX-650 . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) I had a Cibie' Z-beam headlight in it, which was very powerful and could run in both the high and low beam condition at the same time . The electrics never complained . Dunlop K70's were not good enough and I went to Carlisle Road Rac-R Twins and got some real low-down cornering ability . The BSA Gold Star 500 ( . pbase . com/jim_panzee/image/21022391" target="_blank">www . pbase . com) was a nice enough bike, but like all Beezers, it leaked badly . The Triumph Trident ( . blondeel . be/R3patlinks . JPG" target="_blank">www . blondeel . be) 750/3 was a bad experiment in terror . . . electrics were never right, the transmission would not shift hot, the clutch was a chatterer and the leaks were about as bad as a Harley . It sounded SO G-O-O-O-D! :p These olde memories remind me . . . has anyone in NZ ever seen an NSU Prinz ( . microcar . org/carspecs/nsuprinzIII . gif" target="_blank">www . microcar . org)? They were a car . . . sort of . . . but I had one, a 1959 ( . microcarmuseum . com/tour/nsu-prinz-rhd . html" target="_blank">www . microcarmuseum . com), and loved tinkering with the camshaft drive mechanism . I am sure the guy who designed that is still in a rubber room somewhere . I guess this has been badly highjacked . . the post, that is . . . but I started it so have fun if you want to go OT with it any farther away than I have already . In fact, let's start another post about our old cars and motorcycles . . . pictures should be included via the upload site (http://www . imagef1 . net . nz/) . . . . . but just wool spinning is OK too . That was a very tricky copy/paste . . . !!	SurferJoe46 (51)

500824	2006-11-21 08:16:00	Joe, you are full of surprises as usual . New Zealand is motorcycle heaven . Lots of winding roads and not too much traffic . Motorcycle touring by Europeans and Americans on rented bikes is very popular here . I'm off to a rally myself this weekend but it's only 5 miles away so its more the event than the journey . It is to celebrate Bert Munro and the film, the Worlds Fastest Indian . imdb . com/title/tt0412080/" target="_blank">us . imdb . com which is a local story . And Terry, I know of your love for the Vincent - you can still buy one if you like . . . . com/garage . asp" target="_blank">harrisvincentgallery . com	Winston001 (3612)

Life is good . Those "ape hanger" type bars are mostly illegal here . . they must not be higher than the shoulder of the rider when they are seated on the bike . . . but that isn't strictly enforced . Do you get Gary Bang HD parts there in NZ? Whenu . . . your posted pix didn't make it . . . I tried a few times to see it . . . . . .	SurferJoe46 (51)
500830	2006-11-21 20:03:00	I had a 1967 Suzuki T20 250 Hustler X6 which I bought brand new. Cost $800 NZ. www.suzukicycles.org Prior to that I owned a Suzuki 50 sports, Suzuki 150, and in 1973 a Kawasaki 350 Big Horn Trail Bike which I used as a road bike. Trevor :)	Trev (427)
