Title: theme photo
Post by: maxvmx on April 12, 2009, 03:31:44 pm: Has anyone got a real nostalgic theme photo that they would like to post? One with an old ute with an old bike on the back of it, or perhaps standing in front of your pride and joy wearing period riding gear along with the 70's shades and side burns?

Did I say it was good to have you back?
That's a classic… they are just missing a couple of Lattes to complete the image.

Post by: TT on April 16, 2009, 10:38:33 am: Definitely a KTM. But could the leading bike in the background be a Maico??
Really hard to tell even on the original photo.

You're not helping, Alison...................... I'm starting to think about driving over to Bendigo to recreate that shot now...................
But then I have had "some" wine tonight............ ::)

We might need Ken Smith to fill in for the guy in the red/black jacket too. ;D

Could well be.....it's a great shot though.
Maybe Doug Parkinson? ;D
