That 750 in the back has an 1100r motor.
Krusty, couple of vjmc members in that.
Happy days.

I can just visualize Terry and Dave as "bikies" back in the 70's  :)

We weren't quite as wild up here in Canada but there were a lot of similarities ... especially disappearing for the weekend.

Then again most of us eventually as they say "fell under the thumb" ... which sums it up perfectly.  Now in our 50's and 60's we have found a way to escape from the "thumb".

Some of the original guys just lost a bit of momentum.

Sadly, I missed this sort of fun but had a great time surfing. As a lowly bank teller I couldn't afford a bike and when I was 18 got my call up (draft) notice. Then it was 2 years in the army during which I got married (still am). After that I went back to the bank and bought my first bike, a 63 C92 Benly, to run to and from  tech get my HSC (high school diploma?).  Mortgage, kids, yaddah yaddah etc. Sold the Benly to get a DT1 then it was dirt bikes (MX & Enduros) for the next 20 or so years.
Sigh.
Vids like this cheer me up.
