My Classic Japanese Motorcycle Group has just held its third show - we try to do them every two years (earthquakes permitting :lol: ). It was a one day event and proved popular with the public. The venue was buzzing all day and the guys had a great time yarning to the visitors about the machines. The most unusual bike we had was entered by an 85 year old chap - a 1959 Lilac 125 cc, shaft drive V-twin. Here are just a few pics from the 92 bikes entered:

I had a bloody great day there mike. Many beautiful bikes there for such a small isolated town of around 350,000. Maybe one day my crappy D will make the show. Sorry Mike, but i cant help myself (ive had beer) but i couldnt help but notice youve removed the oil blotting paper that was sitting under your leaky gear change shaft oil seal. :lol: Sorry mate.
Thats Mikes blue H1A 5th pic down. Very very nice bike.
Im wrapped the H1R got best in show, although i picked the RZ500 myself (it was mint, what a complicated difficult expensive machine to make mint)
The H1R was not technically the best restoration there although it was beautifully done.(better watch what i say here) But its legendary reputation or natural beauty obviously brought it through as top dog.
Nice....
And its the same colour as mine :thumbup:

Very nice pictures. I am sure we all have ones that have special meaning. The blue Honda CL175 is it for me because that was my first bike (except mine was sort of a burnt orange). In all of the shows and museums I've been to, I've never seen one. I do not think they are rare, I've just not seen one in many years. Thanks for the memories!

Nice pics and a great collection of bikes! :thumbup:


This is the bike I had in highschool, same color and everything. I really wanted a four cylinder back then, or an RD!

My brother had one of these which I got to ride some.
