Not the RE5 film you've already seen. Something different.
It's sort of a Member Video. I got it from a member.
Enjoy:

Many thanks Wayne. I have Michell’s poster but never seen the promo video. I wonder how much Suzuki had to pay him ?

I wonder how much Suzuki had to pay him ? Those guys were Rock Stars in the sixties. I guess their fame and price would have waned a bit by '74. |

That brings back memories. Our dealership had that super 8 film on a cartridge with a small but then common projector and screen all in
one capable of continuous playing at the showroom. Remember the 4 and 8 track tape cartridges, think larger. I much enjoyed that as
I knew 2 techs in the presentation. Riverside Raceway was close enough to hear a big bike or car race from home.
Much Thanks for posting that, Wayne.
Tim

Much Thanks for posting that, Wayne. Tim You're very welcome Tim. The bloke who sent me the video has been very helpful and forthcoming on all things RE5. He was also in a dealership. I'm sure you'd know him.......... |

MORE! Excellent Wayne, many thanks for giving us this airing (Watched it several times), hope lots of our members view, all part of this bikes history, not to mention a chap with an experience that's rarer than hens teeth, along with M style indicators.

I am beginning to know him quite well, Thank You.  I am happy a few of you like it. I can't say much for the poor transfer from film however. I think they didn't focus it perfectly when transfering. There are a few frames in the film of the front axle with the early GT-750 type shown. How many folks have the early parts book front axle? Tim |
