Suzuki 500

Seen today, one absolutely clean H (1970?) 500 2-stroke twin in green
colour scheme. It was so clean it must be the first day out since
restoration or something. It sounded very healthy and barely a hint of
smoke from the pipes.

 

Had the purple-and-white 1971 version (T500-R, following on from
T500 Cobra & T500-II, and before the GT-500 series).

Traffic cop: Mr Reid, do you realise you were doing *seventy*-*eight*
miles per hour?
Me: <thinks> Good job you didn't see me a couple of minutes earlier when
I was doing one-oh-five!

Me: I found a car sitting right on my tail over Commonwealth Avenue Bridge.
As it was just after pub closing time on a Friday night I assumed it was
some J Random Hooligan rather than a police car, and accelerated away.
Magistrate: 80 MPH? That's _some_ acceleration!
Me: <thinks> Better not tell him I was still in second gear!
