THANK YOU! Jackman!.........for helping me out with the pics. i feel somewhat vindicated (i know i shouldn't say it), that even you experienced guys were having a bit of a tussle with getting them to load.

thank you, again.

these bikes are real. i am not a scammer...............guess somehow i just got off on the wrong foot here and on the canadian site.

i hope you all enjoy the pics of two nice (i think) rescue bikes. i think i did the right thing by showing them the light of day after 40 or so years.

Jack sent them to me as his would not show up for some reason.
Anyways, here they are and on all three forums now Gerry.

Glad there up. Steve gets the credit :thumbup: , sometimes they post and sometimes they don't :? .

I'll venture and give my opinion on value :| the S3 is 500-700 with a free spinning engine and paperwork, and the H1 put it on ebay with a reserve that makes you comfy and see were it goes ... good luck!

i was surprized by that too. i don't know what to expect from them, but 61xxx on a two stroke? is there a 'normal'? when we looked, it appears the original cables are still hooked to the back of the speedo, so am assuming it's right.

Most of the early bikes had false mileage counts (including mine)...some kind of flaw whereby the 10,000 mile counter turns with the 1,000 mile counter. I have seen them with 90,000+ on the clock... :lol:

Interesting Zambia, I never heard of that before. There are some high mileage triples though. We have Rod in Oz, who got something like 60,000 miles on his original H2's top end.
