Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club ride

#1

Post by AussieGold »

went for a ride today with the (new) local branch of the VJMC. a short ride out to a small country pub,a tiny town called NANGILOC. not too many members yet , but this place (Mildura, Au) has lots and lots of all sorts of bikes. i am already a member of the Ulysses Club, a SOCIAL club for mature age riders , any type and style of bike welcome. also a member of the Sunraysia Historic Motorcycle Club, some great machines in that lot i can tell ya.
anyway, the sun was shining but the wind was blowing like a mongrel. made it very hard to enjoy . crosswinds :IDTS:

Nice little XT500 too. Probably early 1980s by the tank.

this bloke might be a little optimistic...but there are two of them, then again he is also incuding all the parts under his bench, it sure looks like an LTD false tank among them, check his pics.

I went about 7 years ago and loved it. I didn't want to leave.
