A big thank you to Stephen for some photos and the write up and some photos from Sir Al as well.
A great day on Sunday we decided to go to Colyton through Fielding out Makino Road through Vinegar Hill to Hunterville for a stop. As a part of the ride we had a shed raid and saw a really interesting collection of lovely Ducati‘s, a Laverda 750 twin and a Yamaha 1100 cafe racer. It has a shaft drive to chain drive conversion just like the Pitman bikes from the late seventies and son sounded really nice. There was also an early Honda 750 K1 or 2 being restored as well. The run home was via our usual back roads with others taking the direct route via State Highway One.
PS Some interesting reading about the Pitmans conversion and much more!
