“These pics were taken in August of 1967, behind our house in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A. (the slide covers actually say "September 1967", but by September, I would have been back at school at Florida State University in Tallahassee, so I assume that September is when the roll of (35 mm) film was developed and printed). I want to point out that these pictures illustrate the elaborate and extensive protective clothing that motorcycle riders were forced to wear in the harsh Florida summer climate — note the white T-shirt, the Bermuda shorts, and the loafers (without socks). I think that I was probably also wearing underpants. BTW, by 1967, Florida had enacted a mandatory helmet-wearing law for motorcyclists, so I had to wear one when I was riding on the street.” Here's more Suzuki S-32 info.	1966 Suzuki S-32 II Owner: John Martin, Victorville, California, USA Comments: ”I bought a used one (actually my parents bought it for me) in the summer of 1967 from the Suzuki dealer in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, where I was born and grew up (I now live in Victorville, in the High (Mojave) Desert of San Bernardino County, California). I owned the S-32 for about a year, then replaced it with a T20 (X-6) that I bought from a friend at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where I was going to school. I'm not absolutely certain, but my recollection is that my S-32 was a Series II, which I assume would mean that it was a '66 model. However, my S-32 had a significantly different (and I would say, more modern) fork and front fender than the one pictured on your site, so perhaps it was a very late production version or different US export model? It may not show clearly in these pics, but there were rubber-type boots between the two chrome rings on the forks, covering the fork springs. Also, I note that on my S-32, the speedo cable connected to the front wheel hub on the rider's left (the "port", as opposed to "starboard", side), whereas on the S-32 on your site, it appears that the speedo cable connected to the front hub on the other side (rider's right). Perhaps the S-32 pictured on your site didn't have a dual-leading-shoe front brake. Besides the rather archaic pressed-steel frame (the S-32 must have been one of the last Japanese twin-cylinder motorcycles with a pressed-steel, as opposed to tubular, frame), the S-32 had at least three other unusual features: 1) It had a four-ratio transmission, with neutral below first gear in the sequential shift pattern — unlike every other motorcycle I've ever owned (I'm now on my eighth), all of which have had neutral between first and second. 2) The generator doubled as the starter motor (or the starter motor doubled as the generator, if you prefer) — when you pressed the starter button (in the normal place near the right handlebar grip) it apparently activated one or more relays that changed the set of brushes in use in the generator/starter. My recollection is that the dealer called the S-32 generator/starter a "dynamo", but I think that this use of the word "dynamo" is rather dubious, as since that time I've learned that the word "dynamo" has long been used for any electrical generator. Maybe that's what Suzuki U.S.A. called it in their marketing materials for the S-32. In any case, using the generator as the starter motor worked really well in my S-32. 3) The chain was completely enclosed by a metal shroud. This shroud did not provide a complete seal around the chain i.e., it wasn't oil-tight, but rather was rigidly bolted to the left ("port")-side swing arm, and mated loosely at its front to the aluminum cover over the front sprocket, which was part of the engine/transmission unit. The chain shroud separated into top and bottom pieces when you wished to remove it to access the chain. The S-32 was my first real motorcycle (before it I'd owned, in succession, two Cushman Eagles, the Eagle being a cross between a motorcycle and a scooter — they were really motorcycles with small wheels), and the first of four Suzukis that I've owned — I followed the X-6 with a 500 twin purchased new in 1970 (what a rocket!), then with an X-6 Scrambler with high exhaust pipes that I bought after I moved to Los Angeles in 1973. I found it in the back of a cycle shop and I bought it for $200. I then rebuilt the engine of the X-6 Scrambler and rode it for a year or two, until I got hit by a car in Los Angeles traffic. I've later realized that the fork, front fender, and front hub of my S-32 looks identical to those on the T20 (X-6) of the same era, except that my S-32 lacked the T-20's colored stripe down the middle of the front fender. I don't remember thinking at that time about how the front ends of the two models compared. I probably assumed that it was natural that two Suzuki models would have the same fork, front fender, and front hub designs. And I've never seen another S-32 "in the metal", either before or since, so I had no reason to think that mine was different from other S-32's. For what it's worth, my S-32 came only with a speedometer, as well as neutral and high-beam indicator lights — no tachometer. One of the things I liked about upgrading to the T-20 was that it had a tachometer — all the better to use when playing with those six gears! The S-32 was the only one of the Suzukis that I owned where you had to mix the oil with the gas. What a giant pain in the butt! It was such a relief to replace it with the X-6 with the oil metering/ injection system, and the separate oil tank. I really miss those Suzuki two-strokes — they were light, easy to work on, very fast, and relatively cheap.”
	1983 Suzuki GSX 750 S Katana Owner: Ogmundur Birgisson, Iceland Comments: ”I´m owner of Speer Limited version of Suzuki Katana 750. It has been imported in 2005 to Iceland from Germany, only 25,000 km on the clock. Now I´m working to rebuild it to original Kat-style.” Here's more Suzuki Katana info.
Here's more Suzuki GP125 info.	1980ish Suzuki GP 125 Owner: Aad V, Belgium Comments: ”I used to drive one of these a few of years ago, when I was about 15 years old. The suspension was broken and after I rode it, I also ruined the front brake handle (the thing you use to break with your right hand). The back brake connection is broken through time (but I can fix that). The engine ran pretty good, but I have to repair the exhaust. I have grown older, I'm 22 years old now and I found the motorcycle in a storage room at home. I felt the thrills of riding it come back up and I want to fix it... I am a student and need help in finding cheap suspension for the motorcycle. I don't know where I can find those parts for a reasonable price (I live in Belgium, but shipping costs from other countries could be fair). It doesn't have to be new! This truly wonderful motorcycle deserves a second life!” I don't have the time or opportunity to help Aad in finding cheap parts for his GP125. If any of you readers can help him, !
	1967 Suzuki K 10 Owner: Matthew Underwood, Vietnam Comments: ”I am an Australian expatriate working in Vietnam. I bought this '67 K10 (I believe it is a 1967– the Vietnamese refer to it as a ‘sau bay' which means 6-7) about a year ago from an old man who had “upgraded” to a 110cc Honda Wave.  This was gathering dust in his garage and cost me 1 million Vietnam Dong – about US$60. It was in horrible shape – I wish I took a picture. Anyhow, there was absolutely no chance of keeping this bike original on the restoration, so I know the origin-junkies on this site will hate it, but it has been completely overhauled.  Inspired by the gorgeous K10 on this site from the UK (which I pinned up in the guys workshop) I set about replicating the ‘wrong' picture of it.  I notice from the write up on this site that his is red but appears orange – I really liked the orange!  Had to have it specially mixed for me. Painted it myself though. By the time it was all said and done, new engine, new paint, new everything, this cost me about $500. Is it in the same original shape it was when it left the assembly line? — Oh hell no!  The biggest thing to notice about this bike is that I threw away the old two-stroke 50cc and replaced it with a Korean made 125 Daelim.  Sorry guys, it's done!  I didn't really care to keep it original, and all the old Suzuki engines here are just horrible, blow smoke, bad condition.  I bit the bullet and bought new. I also installed a remote control on it, which is great for giving the locals a heart attack. Basically everything on this bike (suspension, exhaust, handlebars, everything) has been replaced with new Vietnamese, Korean or Chinese parts. I love this bike! My favorite thing about it is that no one else in Vietnam has ever thought to restore one. Seriously, there are dozens of them rotting in garages.  They are the exclusive domain of old poor men.  So when some young white guy does one up – it really really turns heads. I leave it parked and sit back with a coffee and watch people drift toward it and point and laugh and inspect and study.  No one can believe I bought a grandpa bike and did this to it! As I mentioned, I fitted a remote control to it, so I can start it while people are studying it and cause them to all leap back in shock!  I've had women run screaming away yelling “there's a ghost there's a ghost” – seriously! Anytime I ride it anywhere, people pull up next to me and ask about it.  It is completely one of a kind here.”
