" I'm more interested in "Suzuki's 180MPH factory Road Racer"! "
was offered a ride oon one , told it;d try'n throw you on the pukekohe back straight kink , at 180 m.p.h. .
As it was destined for a Museum , Id thought might be best to avoid being the bloke that decked it & ' scratched the Paint ' .
Ten year old Dunlops on it, then . Hindsite it was pretty much blather .
Though the 72s were flexi flyers . The frame tubes i think one inch , Id assumed chrome moly , but apparently Mild steel !
the 74's were unobtainium . But Colemans the Suzuki Importers had one . Didnt realise you got paid millions ! .
Told geoff threw this into the right hander at Pukekohe , of the pit straight , at 130 drift down to 90 , the R H at 60 .
course , Idve been expected to emulate that . In hindsite His Mother was quite KEEN on the idea . Id thought
She mightve been looking at it the other way . Oh Well . The Tritons frame tubes ( Home Made ) were the same diameter , but the Suukis 50 % longer .
so there were a few factors , but woulda been best to feel her out .
Cant see a picture of it in Southwards Museum , so wondering where it ended up ? .
