Title: It's not red, but I'm in love
Post by: magoo on April 04, 2009, 04:49:37 pm

Dear Suzukis 27 & 43, Doc, TM Bill and Holeshot Biddy, I've news that will bring a tear to your eyes. I'm the proud daddy to a bouncing baby RM370A. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm in love. It has no tank, seat, front end or wheels but the rest seems great. I'm definately going to build a resto - racer out of it. How hard are parts to come by for the old girl. Is there really a life beyond the red mist I've been blinded by all these years, or am I detined to a life of yellow disappointment?

Basically magoo it sounds like you've just bought an engine. Might have to call on all your yellow mates for some help.

Thanks Hoonster, I knew you'd understand. Give us a kiss and I promise I won't tell anyone. Just don't tell that Macca character, he may not be as kind.

You're not too far off the mark there Johnny, I'm just hoping that all my Yellow mates aren't too offended by the last 49 years off sledging. It must be the influence of having a couple of beers with a Suzuki bloke named Roger last year, he must have corrupted me. Honestly though, I've always loved the 370. Along with a YZ360A it's one of my non red loves. I think a renovators dream is how it would be described.

You're so kind Bazza, buy me enough chardies and I might take you behind the toilet block and do that special thing you like.

quote...The world is arse up...
I reckon its  bloody good now  ;D
When some one put up that DR member knew a shit load about Suzuki's, I posted a few winks and thought it was Doc,but then I deleted cause I though I'd look stupid or converse with some stranger.
Then this DR talks to me about Suzuki prices and I'm thinking this bloke is a gentleman just like Doc,,,
Now I get on here this arvo after another eye candy day of looking at some nice Suzukis gracing our track and waallllaar ,He's revealed himself   :D    ;)

On ya Suzuki God  :-*
Alison
oh yer and another item,,,,the stand-milkcrate.Also made me think twice.  :D

 :D :D :D I was just taking a bit of a holiday Alison but yeh, I figured you'd be onto my little charade as would some others :P DR Doc, same thing eh ;D I do actually have a nice '82 DR500SZ that will arrive back anyday now. Was thinking of selling it but eh, it's probably in the best original condition of all the bikes I own, it has a little local history attached to it and the easiest to do a concourse resto when I feel the need so as always I'll find room somewhere and keep it ;)

My god whats this I see?A man goes away on business for a week and the world goes totally mad....
Welcome Magoose old son, to the world of quality bikes and real world champions.
Even though you are a complete boof head with (up till now) terrible taste in bikes and beer,I am very happy to accept you into the fold.
I am sure it wont be long until that other Red Devil lemon loving bandit Marty sees the light along with the King of Paddo and the Berridale RA lover-face facts ladies, Red is best left for a certain time of the month or putting on your hot dogs -yellow is the new black.I could dribble on for hours but ha ha what a complete concession by the Queen of Red Lemon Racing!!! ;D

I shall put the feelers out over here re parts. I am sure my Pommy mate Ira Doe will have ten tonnes of 370 bits rusting in his 'work' enclosure.

Must fly, I have to have a lie down after collapsing in shock.... :D

Given the significance of this event, I feel it only fit that I release photographic evidence of the night that Magoo turned "yellow".

Honda Jury, also note the type of beer in his hand..... (VB for those Mexicans and Kiwis that do not recognise crap beer)

Welcome aboard Magoo, we look forward to educating you in the way of RM jetting, footpegs, and loctite!

Just think, I was contemplating buying a Honda....

That photo must have been photoshopped. It's not the fact that I'm wedged between a couple of Suzukis, but the beer in my hand. Never. As for you Mr 43, be nice.

 :o settle down Scunge, one doesn't simply get taught the sacred footpeg!! ::) in good time when Magoo may grasp the pebbles from his underpants, then and only then will he fully come to understand the way of the footpeg ;) jeez, ya can't just waltz in any ol' how..ya gots to earn it!! ;D

I read it once and I read it again. Hmmmmm. I was a little concerned of the Mighty Yellow Marque being  degraded as a result of Magoo throwing a leg over ,but then I thought of some of the current yellow men and ........say no more.  Magoo has degraded most things he has thrown a leg over. When is the 370 expected to be debuted and what will Magoo be wearing over his G-String??
 Keep us posted on the parts hunt Old Yella. I might have a couple of bits in the stash to contribute.

don't worry - they say people in his condition have to hit rock bottom before they come to their senses and ask for help!

That photo of Magoo looks like he is about to mark his territory. He may as well just pour the beer on it and save his kidneys all the work.
Ah Magoo you've done it again.

I am as shocked as anyone about this revelation. Who'd have thought? The boy may just discover what the rest of us already know.

Altho... a little digging turned up some interesting info! Here's a pic I found in the musty corridors of the Australian Archives (Works Suzuki section, under Sponsored Riders).

Ahh, the bad old days. Mt Kembla circa 1984, a bloke hasn't changed a bit. Hey #43, you want a lifesize picture for your garage wall?

Dearest Magoose (or is that Beetle MacF now?)re the above 'autograph request'.I would rather be eaten by a pack of wild dogs-thanks anyway!
My, my, you sure had style in the '80's -NOT!

PS I wasnt born in 1984 as you know.

Who is the guy in the Honda jersey ? - It has got a touch of the" Village People" meets MX about it.
Was there a ' Bromance'  that  blossomed  between these two?
Was McBruce a Pit Plaything for the Honda Team?

He's actually still a good mate of mine who's 50th birthday I'm going to this weekend. I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. Darren "sorry Magoose, but if you hadn't have been riding that heap of shit you probably would've beaten me", Magoo "forkin" Hondas, why do they have to be THAT good!"
