The 2014 Harrow Vinduro thread!

Sounds like the Wombat's ready for Combat.

I smell a rat here  or maybe a toad thats been run over on the road

i think he has an Ace up his sleeve and he going to be Squirting along at Harrow

"Now we are in trouble"  he's changed to to Hodaka , a step up on the usual things from Empire of the rising sun

Well, well, well (Mk 2)...

It seems that we have another example of a Japanese bike skeptic discreetly hedging his bets with a Japanese bike hidden away within his team.

None other than Canam370, and his Also Rans team which includes vinduro luminary Wombat on an XT500.

Despite having a Yamaha in the ranks, Wombat was fairly circumspect about the chances of his team succeeding when I spoke to him yesterday. He noted that Canam370 was “the only bloke I’ve been riding with who has a translucent tank and still runs out of petrol”.

Well , well , well (Mk 3) , "Tex he make funny joke"

Sorry Can am 370 "old matey", I'm Euro through and through

But that's funny

[Canam370]

   It was dark! I wuz tired! I was too much in the zone riding my fine Eurank steed to notice the time passing! Dodging around Japs stuck on the sides of hills distracted me! The sweep was looking bored so I decided to sacrifice my day to make him feel needed! I've been framed!

And Tex, the frame construction of The Contraption is more akin to the YankeeZ than a flimsy Toadaka.

Wombat, I know where you live - be afwaid!

And I wasn't aware I was in a team - the 'Bat and I were placed to fill the gaps between teams AFAIK. Still, I'm not surprised that others want to accompany me while I gracefully traverse the terrain on fine Euro machinery. This way my sycophant minions...........

[The Wombat]

 This way my sycophant minions...........

Its true I am his minion

Sorry Master 

BTW I have not locked in the XT500 so be prepared for the Firey Yellow of the Sun when the Mighty PE175 blinds the pack with its japanese awsomeness

Suzuki made them the colour of a lemon for a reason.
Kawasakis are green because they're not ripe (ready)
Honda's are red - it's the universal colour for danger
Yamaha's are blue....who actually likes blue lollies? Blue is also aussie slang for a MISTAKE!

[matcho mick]

thats gold mon capitan ,

But the era of Yamaha we're talking about were white: pure and angelic.

[HVA61]

I think only one white model IT made it to Aus.

I think the  IT 425 was available in white , my Dad had one but I'm not sure wether he brought it home from the USA or purchased it here in Aus.

It was a nice bike for Yamaha ,lots of mumbo , lucky for us next year he regained his senses and the next year he got another Husky

[Nathan S]

Oh, yeah - ITs not YZs.
Yep, blue balls all the way.

[Ekka]

[HVA61]

You're "two" funny Ekka

1977 to 1984 were white - if you ignore the ITs and the DTs....
