Had a yarn to a few people at vmx on Sunday and worked out that Mortlocks were the main sales base back in the day and we know of 5 in WA today,what years we dont know..
I remember its been discussed on the forum about CCM bike inventories in Oz before.  :P
So how many RH's in your state of Oz ??

As I recall my local Suzuki dealer in Qld back in the 70s had two RHs and I have heard those bikes are still in Qld, possibly under restoration at the moment. So that would be two at least there.

I've got 2 RH's and Dave Tanner has a couple also.. all on the Gold Coast.
There weren't many '74's in Qld back in the day but there were a few more '75's around, i remember seeing a brand new '75 on the floor of Mayfairs in '76 when the RM's were out.

I am lucky enough to have one - only one,  unlike Johnnie and Dave!
I bought mine in from NZ a few years ago- to NSW.

When I started at Mayfairs in the warehouse in mid 76 we still had a couple in crates and there was one on the floor at the Windsor showroom as mentioned above.
There was also a 250 and a 450 AJS Stormer on the floor at Windsor or down stairs at least and I always wondered what became of them.
I reckon Bill Taylor would know-he has/had a tyre store somewhere on the northside as I remember seeing him at a car rally only 10 or so years ago.
