Does the "spud" still exist?

Hi all,

There is no accounting for taste! I have just received an email, part of
which says:

------------------8<---------------------
I stumbled across some of your web content whilst searching for an
image of a Honda CD250U. I found a page of images from a trip you and
friends did, called "Wintersun Run 2003"
(http://lamp.man.deakin.edu.au/riding/03wintersun/)

On the bottom of that page, you have links to friends pictures. One
of your friends, Marty (http://home.iprimus.com.au/martyh/wintersun/)
has uploaded a picture of a Honda CD250U entitled "The Spud" )
http://home.iprimus.com.au/martyh/wintersun/imagepages/image36.htm)
and this excited me.

You see, my first bike was a CD250U and I never took a photograph of
it. At the time, it was "just a bike". Now that I am further into my
riding with many bikes under my belt, I've become a bit nostalgic!
Internet searches for this model have revealed only a few hits, but
all of the images are of the blue-tank model and not the silver,
which is what I owned.

Here's my big ask.

Do you think it would be possible for you to talk to your friend
Marty (or the actual owner of that bike) and see if he'd be prepared
to take some hi-res colour photos of it from various angles (but not
the rear as I don't need/want the license plate info) and send those
to me so I can include those pictures in my motorcycle journal? If
the photo's can be without rider and / or luggage it would be
brilliant!
------------------8<---------------------

So who's got the spud these days?

Cheers
Goaty

"Pigs in Space" ...

Parody of science fiction shows like Star Trek, but also old '30s sci-fi
serials. The spacecraft is called USS Swinetrek and the title voice-over
is a parody of main Star Trek competitor Lost in Space. It featured
Captain Link Hogthrob, Miss Piggy as first mate, and Dr. Julius
Strangepork (the name a takeoff on "Dr. Strangelove"). Usually, the
sketches would involve the long-suffering Piggy putting up with the
wacko Strangepork and the braindead Link treating her as an inferior
because she was a woman.

I still treasure my twin "Longest Distance" and "Longest Distance
250cc" trophies.

Winning the slow race was my greatest triumph though.
