1972 Yamaha R5C

Here are 2 photos I scanned in of my R5C taken around September 1972. I bought this motorcycle in Okinawa and brought it back on the USS Blueridge LCC19. We had just completed a 9 month Western Pacific (WESPAC) deployment, most of which was spent off the coast of Vietnam. After unloading it off the ship in San Diego, I put low bars and a narrow fiberglass front fender on it and then rode it 1475 miles to Houston, Texas.
