My old 1971 Kawasaki 500 back in 1971. This is old 8mm footage in which I dubbed in sound. What a bike for an eighteen year old...I'm lucky I'm still alive ! Filmed in Taft, California.

I'm a bit younger at 46 but still my uncle took me on the first 900 Kawi when I was 8 years old in '73 when I was almost scared to get on a mini trail 70 lol..... Today it's a Triumph 955i. I send this video out to peeps all the time, wish I had video of my RD 350 when I stood it up a few times in '85 undergrad bike.
Peace.

this was me back in 75. take away the burnout (didnt know you could do that back then) and this was me exactly, no helmet, no sense, young, dumb and full of come. Man those were the days. Only wish i knew it then! Huntington beach, Ca in the 60's n 70's was pure heaven Me hair was long, me jeans were tight, I loved a knife and..........no wait that was Larry Norman. Miss ya larry.

@CodeTwo2 I wish I'd had the video camera technology we have today, back in those days. You are right, hard to comprehend all the "uncaptured" footage!

@kawasakih1 You're right - unless something is done SOON to arrest where it's all heading.
It's great you were able to film (and keep) this. I'm eight or nine years younger than you, but there were still no personal video cameras in common circulation when I started out on the road. When I think of the hundreds of hours of the 'bikes, the incredible events, and people that went uncaptured. I'm sure people think I invented some of the stories! It would make a fine movie, I know that.

This is the bike that got me into bikes in the first place when I was a kid. My brothers friend had a 71 and I loved the looks the sound and the smoke !!
Restoring one as we speak. Thanx for the cool video and the inspiration.
Kaw. Triples 4 ever.

@whoreratio Thanks! Good Luck with your restoration! Everybody wants a 1969 because they were the first but the H1A's were great!

The original GoPro camera!

@sirboomdotcom I wish I'd had a GoPro camera back then. All I had was a little 8mm camera with a viewfinder so dirty inside you could hardly see through it. Film was expensive and went through the camera in about three minutes. My friend filmed over my shoulder while I got it up to 100mph +. Still, those were the days!
