Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Nice rides!  Interesting you have pictures of all of them, I don't even think I have pictures of my tiburon from 2 years ago, I did take pictures but probably lost them I guess that's 1 issue with digital.

Geez Railton, with a history like that, you've got to be one of very few members here that has always had a nice collection of fun, desirable and sporty machines.  Nice!

Oooh, a near original OCLV - I remember those.  Did yours crack?  If so, how long did it take?  Ah, the old single pivot days ...

Nope, no cracks. I take more abuse than it does...
The thing sure is light though. My Wife has a newer Gary Fisher Joshua F3 that's a tank in comparison.

Found an old picture taken 22 years ago when I just got the Sanger. This was the first year when it was burgandy in color. The next year I had it sprayed white with a burgandy stripe. The next time all white.
Still looking for more photos...

Sure. I figure I must have been 25 there. It cost me $8K back then to purchase it.

I guess the Z18 was unique to Sudbury, as both mine were Z28s. Shows what we miss in the West ..............  :rofl: :rofl:

Found some more photos of the Sanger. The first shot cruising along at about 3000 RPM I figure. I never let go above 5500 RPM as the 12 x 15 wheel would cavitate abruptly above that. The second photo was taken just as YPA lands in the bay...and the  3rd shot, well...that's for Snowy.
