Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

[andre g]

Yamaha had a hydraulic driven frontwheel. Quite simple with a hydraulic pump at the frontsprocket

It also was used at the Dakar Rallye by th french driver David Freitigne

Easier to use 2 electric motors in every wheel one.

Works well on my latest farm bike. Electric motor with planetary gears in each hub. Ali frame and bicycle type hydraulic brakes.

The Ubco's are road registerable here. Guy on another forum is using one for his daily commute. So far so good.

Nice “Lil Honda”. Unfortunately I haven’t the knowledge to add one of my favourite YouTube vids “Lil Honda” by The Hondells on Shindig with the shows dancers.

They still love the old Z1-900 in Japan. This was posted in a restaurant in a trendy part of Sapporo. And check out the Kerker pipe! How long has it been since you saw (and heard!) one of them?

Japan used to have restrictions on the size of the bikes sold new on the local market-750cc maximum. Therefore all the larger bikes were lusted after and imported back into the country in used condition from all over the world.

Rode a "Jaffa", memorable ride, lucky to be here typing, had its own version of handling via the throttle, j.

The alloy wheels and swingarm etc, as pictured, really suits the old girls.

Standard pipes on my old girl but previous model back in the day (1980's) sported a Chrome Kerker

I'd put money on Graeme Crosby being there. He seems to get to a lot of those gatherings now.
Probably sold a few of his rebuilds into Japan too.

35th anniversary of the Hokkaido Z Meeting, not of the Z1.
