That’s my brother heading north, Jan 15 2005. He made it to within 300 miles of Nuvick northern territories before he had to turn back. His journal has been posted here several times. Quite a trip.

Thank you, Don...
Yes it does...
Thanks, Roger...
Good theme. Thanks, Trevor....Ok thanks guys....how about a pic from your youth....or one of your oldest pics of your motorcycle?
This is me on my 1973 50cc Suzuki Trail Hopper around 1974/75....I don't look very happy for some reason....lol
Sadly, no pics of my first motorcycle. I sold that ‘72 Yamaha DT250 and bought this used @‘80 Yamaha Trimoto 200 @‘84-85 with my paper route earnings and used it to daily deliver a very rural section of my route. The ‘76 IH Scout Traveler was the vehicle I learned to drive and used for my driver’s test. Also of note: acid washed jeans and a knock-off Members-Only jacket. :dancing:

First bike was a 73 DT250. No pics
1973 500/4......Pic Taken in 1981.
Had it 11 days when I T boned a car. Both to blame. Bent the frame and the bike was in parts for 12 months and moved house with me. Couldn't afford new mufflers so I made baffles out of tightly rolled up chicken wire to use for baffles. Great when idling around town and would sing a song when opened up. Paint job cost me $130.00 in 1980.
First bike I striped down and put back together. 12 months after the crash I sat up at night drinking rum and smoking dope trying to figure out where what went where. Didn't bag and tag and it had been sitting in boxes for 12 months so just went off the manual pics and tried to apply common sense, ( he says drunk and stoned), not now, then.

I think the GT 380 and 550 triples were the ram air ones.

I had a Titan back in the 70's and I loved it. Just a great all rounder. Did not work well as a center punch for a Dodge Polara grille however. Otherwise I would probably still have it.
I don't remember for sure Glen, I just remember seeing RAM AIR etched into the top of the eng., thinking 500 or 550, and always thought that had to mean performance (though probably not). My first was a "77" GS750 and know the Ram Air was before them.
Yeah, back in the days when it was a pound per cc on the road, from what I recall peering in the showroom windows.
