I won a prize!
« on: November 25, 2007, 12:57:21 PM »
Had to put this up for a little brag - my trusty old 750 won "Best Japanese" at an annual bike show here in Oz.
Here's a couple of pics with it along side the other half's 400 (which didn't win "Best Jap"  :D :P)

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! 8)
In a few weeks I am leaving this state and returning to my home state, so it was nice to go out on a winning note, as they say! Fond memories. Now when's the next bike show in my home state.... ::)
