This post is by my friend Jerry who is a vintage nut and guru… The T-125 in the picture above was the winner of the VJMC show at Barber’s a couple of weeks ago.
My favorite was the 1970 Suzuki T-125 Stinger. I am partial to these; they are one of my favorite vintage bikes for [...]

Barber has posted a bunch of pictures from their recent vintage event. No captions or descriptions, but you can look through them and see if anything looks like the bike you used to race way back when. I still want to find an old FJ600 and go have fun on the track again…
