Neat bikes. Sorry to hear about your friend. I was too young to participate but I remember young men from my town going to vietnam. Iv'e read every book I could lay my hands on about it. I like just about any old machine, cars, bikes, aircraft, tractors, you name it.

Thanks for sharing that. My first ride was BSA 441 Victor.

your post made this 64 year old feel like a 17 again!
thanks for the screen saver.
beautiful machine. wanna sell it?
i know my way around sydney well enough. spent 4 glorious days there in 1970 on r&r from vietnam.
one mistake i did make was to try to out drink you blokes. i almost made it, too!
