Thanks Sylvia, Yeah, regret selling the GT. Worth a motsa now, but back then needed the cash for house renos. It was a pleasure to restore and own. Billy
Took 5 years to find this one, 2,700 miles. Just need the correct horn, headlight, and piss the AMF badges off the front gaurd.:huh
Hey Billy...I've been a passenger on the same bus... '73 750 GT from this to this..after injections of large wads of notes ..then 9 years later it got turned into this.. I've never met you Bill but have heard your name mentioned by Mr Clarke, Big Al, Mr Peters et al. Like you I wouldn't mind the GT back, but i also doubt that will happen.
I think this is so neat, just a thread about pictures. people are meeting each other over common things. cool.

'77 at UNE. A squirt between Earle Page & Robb Colleges. Crappy instamatic, but great memories. UNEMCC - the first bike club I joined and I reckon it was the reason I dropped out after 18 months.:slurpviking My first true adv bike. '87 (?) KLR. Enroute to the '91 GP. Detlef's 650 & the 950 being toasted by late afternoon sunlight after the Cancer Council ride. Not mine, I'm 'doing an Old Ozy' and stealing someone else's photo. An object of desire IMHO. Well known around the place. Just happened to be there when I finished a job one day in Leichhardt. The first BMW Safari. Eastern Creek.
Looking through this topic made me remember something. Had any of you seen this thread http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460735 Handy one.
About late 1969~1970, my 1950 Matchless 500. Sat astride by a hot chick, who became, and is still, my wife. This bike replaced my 1950 AJS 500, which broke down by just thinking about riding it. The Machless however, wasnt so subtle. All it wanted to do was kill me. It almost did twice, sold it before it had a third try. Second one was worse than the first, front suspension came right out, inner and outer slider tube jammed fully out...massive tankslap....massive off (which I was reminded about recently when I had my right wrist XRayed, and the doctor wanted to know what were all the badly set fractures in my lower arm, wrist and hand were from... This bike was a British classic, foot brake on the left hand side, gear change lever on the right.....try switching between that and a suzuki 185 trail bike we were using around the property as an AG bike also at the time. ...No wonder I am so confused all the time....blame it on my past experiences with British bikes (all that said, would love to still own it).
