Photo Gallery. New piccies boys.

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

First kettle run
First kettle run
first kettle runHi Baz, and whoever else who's running the show.
Do you have a dedicated photo gallery, just for photos and maybe a little info.

I'm sure people have loads they'd like to share easily, without bonceing around individual posts.

If anyone's wondering why I've not placed any question mark's anywhere where there should be, that's because some evil little gremlin has deleted them from my touch screen key pad, if anyone knows how to retrieve them, I'd love to know.

If there's anybody viewing this and your on it, please let me know
And for your information I'm the long streak of "gnats urine" as a friend at work 40 odd years ago you,st to say. Third in from the right.

Just found this old 1977 photo, note the helmet on the seat, it's a Griffin Clubman with full race visor, that is to say it's got the mesh covered air vents!!!.
It was painted up with genuine Suzuki race shop paints, supplied to me by "Noddy".

Hi John, can't help with your ? mark problem (at 67 I'm a similar age to you and just as much in the dark about such issues :shock: ) however, my 9 year old grandson is coming over later today with his 5 year old sister, so I'll ask them for you :roll:
Cheers, steve W.
P.S. I'm looking at your photo at the national motorcycle museum and although I can't see myself on the there, I'm pretty sure I was with you all that day and getting a furthest travelled prize. I also remember the first time I visited the museum, sometime in the 1980's and after wandering around for some time, asking someone where the Suzuki GT750 and other Suzuki's where :oops: :roll: :tw I guess the clue's in the name "National". But in my defence (if there is any) I had seen an Indian motorbike and "that's American isn't it?" "yes" said the museum guy, "but if you'd read the notes properly, you'd have seen that it was made in the UK, for the US police force and it has a British engine :roll: ". I spent the rest of my visit hiding myself and my embarrassment. :oops:
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
