The RE5 nicely represented in this collection. Mike is a Board member (SAMOOTIN). If you've seen the time lapse video of an RE5 restoration in the Member's Cycles and Videos, this is that bike, still looking the goods many years later. You can't see the detail but unlike everyone else I know including myself, the Master Cylinder was anodised (as per original) the correct colour, not painted. All the alloy is not just polished but also plastic coated. Much more as well, open cheque book is not the whole story, there's a lot of hard work in these:

Thanks Bill, up with your standard.
Despite 300 quality entries, last night Mike's RE5 won Concourse Suzuki and also Bike of the Rally. Pity he had 3 Suzukis. Otherwise the other two would have won something, no doubt.
Congratulations member SAMOOTIN.
