In a paddock on edge of the home town Berwick.  It was new (off Geoff Taylor M/C), and
I didn't like it.   Sold it as-new, about a month later.   Twin carbs made it very hard to do
the air-filter.  Pretty heavy too, I think.   (My first - and last - modern Jap 4-stroke)

Love your safety gear Rog.  :D

i had one of those and so did the MXTV Telletubbie (Macca) we both raced them in C grade MX, enduro's and trail rides. I loved mine so much i bought the 85' model after i  dropped the valves at Sea Lake Desert race in 84' and got it all fixed under warranty would you believe  :D

and By The Way, Macca and I shared a house together for a year or 2 in the 80's, we have known each other for 27 years

Hoony - there might be some points there that fall into the category of "too much info"  ;D
