This isn't a joke right? I wasn't sure with the cheesy 70's (shit quality) disco sound track, guys with pornstar mustaches and an announcer that sounds like he's partially OD'ed on Mogadon.

The guy in the red suit and the mirror sunnies even sounds like Elvis (thank you very much).

What a pisser!

i know the voice over guy sounds like he is hung like a fucking blue whale... and no its not a piss take, although u might think so given how seriously kawasaki took things back then, and then compare that to now :roll:

Owen you should see my 1978, 79, 80 6 Hour superbike video collection, from Amaroo & Oran park 8)
The footage comes direct from the ABC where the EX used to work .... very similar to your find ;) just an aussie version.


I am sure Gos has a collection 100 times bigger though :roll:
