we grew up in an era of the perfect family model, dad mum n kids, 3 bedroom home with a backyard. These days that is not considered a perfect family model. kids these days are taught differently at school to grow up with different ideals and beliefs. I would hate to be a kid now because of old blokes like me telling them different. As to who is smarter.........

in the book rolling thunder it tells of how many of these CCM's were made in each year. They were in limited numbers in their prime. Hard to know how much they are selling for these days cause its rare they change hands. I for one hope they don't lose value cause i have a vested interest in a couple of them. Nuthin sounds better than pommie 500s leaving the start gate........

when i was a boy growing up in the 70s and 80s i couldn't get rid of my xr75 fast enough cause i thought they were too slow. i traded on a cr250 79 model red devil. Then my mates had watercooled monoshock bikes. I also had a hagon jap (which i couldn't ride properly) Sold it cause not enough valves. It's costing me a fortune to restore these bikes, who was to know they proved to be collectable ? Not even gunna mention cars.......

australian law says that money donated becomes the property of the "charity". they can do with it as they please. More fool the people who didn"t know the law. I certainly didnt give the god botherers any money. I donate my hard earned to farmers every week buying the stock to run my shop and by riding vtr events in the country and buying lunch of the service clubs. Just sayin......
