Old stuff

[monaro308]

I raided my old bedroom at mums on the weekend and found these.

I would cut out these out and stick them on my bed head or wall.
I dont know if this was from Elizibeth st M/C or Clipstone Yamaha in Ringwood.
I'm sure they were selling for $499.00 in this add.


Happens to have the weather and date on the back.







I could be wrong,but i remember this kid on the 80 being Phil Sargent???







I had heaps more brochures on PE175X's and RM125N's and YZ125's on the wall....but cannot find them.
I know i havent thrown them away so they could be in the middle of mags i hope...I'll check again another day

The one that sticks in my head is the Yamaha ad for the YZ 80 (f I think) with Bob 'Hurricane' Hannah floggin' the Begeezez out the poor little thing. The theme was "built to survive a Hurricane!". Anyone else know the one I'm talking about?

Yamaha certainly knew how sell their stuff......

Rolling chassis no more my funny red friend.......
You truely are da' man KB. After I posted that I thought that it was probably an American ad and that nobody from here would remember it. Truely unbelievable! 
And isn't that a grouse ad? No wonder there were so many of the bloody things around at the time.
Yes KB bit the ground after keeping some local hot-shot rider at bay for about a squillion laps but the real damage was done when he caught his hand in the esky......

Speaking of that great little bike, here's Pete's (Billet YZ's) YZ 80f........

The photos don`t do it justice, the thing still has the tyres on it from the factory. I was told it has done no more than a couple of hours of riding in it`s whole life, came with the reciept and original manual.

Where was I when this thread was happening 

That 80/100H brochure is awesome.  Any chance a scan or something ?

I can trade for a 125/250/465H Brochure scan if you want
