They can take a direct head on hit from a 'roo too. Did bend the frame
a wee bit though :-(

Cheers,

My brother had one and upgraded to the 350.

Didn't Suzuki make a 250 triple in the seventies? Or was that a 350?

The 380. Of course. I knew there was a smaller one than the 550.
Ram-Air heads even.

We had everything from a Mac Velo, Matchless, Ariel, BSA, Triumph,
Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati (singles and twins), Kwak, Honda, Harley,
Guzzi, Bultaco (Metralla), Vespa, Lambretta, Motobecane, Silver
Pigeon, Norton, Benelli, Aprillia, and I've probably missed some. As
long as it had two wheels, we rode it.

Leo and I had two Ducatis each, I had a Trump, Bob had a Jawa and a Hobby
scooter (Czech) but other than that we just stuck with the Jap-bikes.

We're counting ultra-lights? I'll have to ask my brother in Newman
what engine he's got.

I've only ever seen one photo of his plane. Maybe it doesn't have one.

When you've got enough siblings, somebody has done or got something.

In KP's case, it's not just his siblings that have had enough.
