Mid 70's BP Rally.

[Davey Crocket]

Does anybody have any photos of the BP stickers they gave out at the BP rallies in the mid 70's, I'm painting up a PE250B tank and thought it might add a bit of flavor to it....photo's would be OK to copy aswell......com'on IT400C san...start rooking..... ....what else did they have on the tanks back then?.....origatto.

Not a sticker but may be helpful

[Hardo]

Yes !  I have one... saw it the other day..

Hang on, I will take a pic of it and up it....

 

[Davey Crocket]

Thats cool, thanks, anymore?

[Canam370]

How about these? 

[Davey Crocket]

It's getting even better, thanks canned ham.

[Hardo]

Wow, you have a library of them Canam ... 

Here's a pic of mine. It's 113mm in Dia. if that helps.

I have also taken a pic of the local Suzuki dealer in the area (Mildura) from back in the day (Bayliss Suzuki) ... just to keep in "theme" .. 

...I have just realised 76 is possibly a year too early for your B model... but you could modify it to 77 easily enough.. 

Click it for full size... hopefully it works..

 Davey,I can do a scan of whichever you are interested in.

[Hardo]

Ditto on the scan if that helps.

That would be awesome fellas.....just goes to show how much knowledge there is on the forum, was there like a "BP" sticker aswell?

I have some BP bunting tape and a silly cardboard sunvisor from a BP sponsored car rally of the day if that helps. i think they are generic BP not rally Qld specific.
Shit I collect random shit

Ha ha, I have the sew-on patch from the '74, looks the same as later badges.

At 17 and 9 month I rode my TS185B from Frankston to Hattah, on L plates, to the '74 event, AND RACED; no luggage or tools, I rode with a friend, who also raced on a DT400B, we slept on the side of the highway in our leathers & helmet.

There was all this hype about bikes running lean on the needle and seizing after running flat-out on the salt-flats, when I was flat-out on the salt-flats my TS started slowing; I thought 'fark I seized it!' but the rear tail light had dropped off and the wiring loom was getting wrapped around the rear wheel, LOL.

I was running second in the 'up to 200 trail class' when I got a rear puncture (with a trail tyre - bad news!), had to ride the last 100k loop with the flat, ended up finishing 10th.

Had to bot a lift home to Frankston, what an experience!

I'm sure looking at your 'random shit' would bring back some awesome memories  :-)

I didn't intend to keep it for that but then again maybe I did
