About all the old Trumpies were good for - board stands. It's a very good looking board stand though.

Sorry. Missed it. Much to my shame. I am currently bikeless and one of the new Bonnevilles is right up my list. Not the T100, though. I rode one of them and that big front wheel sucked on turn ins.

Alas, my budget will only stretch to a Suzuki 650 Verado this time next year.

Second bike was a SR500. Absolute classic. Great torque spread. Only ballsed the kick a couple of times in the few years I owned it. I reckon that kick back could break your leg if you were unlucky.

The real one of this would probably be the rarest of old holdens?...
Called the Sandman Seawitch,only one made,the original has never been found,painted by a German spray painter who has since passed away.It's been copied many times!...

It was unreal a lot of traffic and that was just getting there.
I could have paddled out but I wasn't as desperate as some.

Combis really were good surf wagons. That rear engine meant there was a fair bit of weight on the rear wheels and they were surprisingly good in soft stuff. 25 years ago we used to flog a mates Combi into Derrs. Anyone who remembers the dunes knows that was no mean feat. It was set up as a camper so once there we could make a day of it and were the cool kids having coffee and sangas in comfort and shade in between the waves.

That one looks well loved, Macaha. And, why I like to see all the old cars looking pristine again, I also like to see them looking like the get used for their intended purpose. I don't think anyone would drive a Combi in 2015 like my mates used to get driven. It was absolutely immaculate and got sold in 1996 for $6500.
