Tri.... scores one for the barn find column 79MK11

'

more later.....

Rickman was there?!

not that i met but i saw a lot of folks who i think may be semi famous or something like that...i stood talking to one british guy at one break and later it is bugging me..he knew his bikes and had the bug...i just cant quiet place him...i think he was ina 80's brit band or movies...

but i did not meet any people that were Rickman....ther were Rickman bikes im sure...i alomost hit quail a exutive sideways on his bike....:whistle:

You should be feeling pretty good as your bike was by far the nicest one there!

I dont mean Rickman, I'm an idiot, getting my people mixed up sorry. I meant Craig Vetter, that yellow scooter streamlined dealie is his. And I know he was there because it says so on his website.

yes he was there and i have spoken with him before about a phantom MKII pridmore tank that i owned for time in 85-87....he can not verify and swears there never was a bike in 79-80 but i know i did have a Vetter racing pridmore tank...crashed too...

anyways we talked about a mystery ship that still is lost of the original 10...

i knew the owner and remembered his name and that he worked at an old auto dismantlers in 86...Craig said he believes it went to L.A and was repainted...

i got a fun small clip of him standing next to his bike and telling about millage for todays bike and his folks riding along too.....i need to be more comfortable pointing the camera at folks...after a few seconds i get embarrasses and point it away or drop it to half frame...it feels weird pointing at someone when they are talking/rude...ect...


i'm uploading a vid now...few minutes

kinda goofy clips but oh well

Mrs V came over and saw the MKII and was with MR V around 1977 and said she had ridden em and loved my bike...i had passed her once on the highway and she was tapping her chest...she came over just before i got to go on the track and said "that was me tapping my chest on the yellow bike when you went past"...I had thought it was cause i was passing folks at the time...she said because the KZ was pulling her heart strings and it was so beautiful is why she was hand signaling.....she said it brought her back to the days when they bought ten and to the showroom floors in the late 70's....i also passed her and Mr V as i tried to catch the rc30 and pace car...this time i felt better about flying by and gave it a good rip for her as i went by...

the yamaha xs650 is one of Craigs bikes i believe also..her friend was on it



few more minutes ill post a clip or two....they take about 10 to post on youtube first

note"

i need to click the lower arrow and wait a few starts then refresh my kzr page to get the clips to play...if i click the big youtube arrow in the center of the vid screen it will just stumble along and takes forever


use the lower play arrow and refresh after a few starts..

the auction house trailer was unloading bikes ..i took pics but i thought it might make a neat clip
