WANTED Trail & Track mags '83, '84, '85

[John Orchard]

Would anyone have any Trail & Track magazines from '83, '84 or '85 they would sell?  I was the motocross tester back then but I never saved any magazines; spewin now  :-(

Found a couple with your dial in em, if i had spare copies i'd give em to you John, but i've only got one of each mate.



Cheers KB.

That's cool Kev, best you keep the pages on your toilet wall  ;-)

Those picks were taken under the Westgate Bridge where I did most of my testing, there and Frankston track.

Got some from late 85, but I think Mike Landman is doing most of the local testing!

Yeh I quit in mid '85 when the Age Newspaper took ownership; they expected me to spend a day riding the bike, then a day writing a story and only pay me $65

I sorted out all my old mags a few weeks ago and found a lot more T&T's than I thought I had - mainly early 70's and 80's..  (including an issue 1 I didn't even realise I had)..

Most of the spare copies I have are from the 70's I think, but next time I'm back in Brisbane (probably in a few weeks - I'm in Sydney with work at the moment) I'll dig them out and let you know what I have.

I'll pay good money for a piece of my history; $25 a copy or more, I'll even pay for good colour photocopies of my articles.

Hi John,

I haven't forgotten about you - just that my weekend back in Brisbane has been delayed a week...  I'll be home on the weekend of the 21st-22nd, not this coming weekend..

But any spares I have with you in them are yours..

I'll PM you my mobile number in case you want to SMS me a reminder to go through the old mags on that weekend..   

Tony.

Hi John,

84: Apr, Sept, Oct, Nov,
85: Feb/Mar, may, June, July, Aug, Nov, Dec...

Any idea which ones your in?

Are you John, Martin, or both?   

[John Orchard]

In the mag I am either 'John Orchard'  or  'Johnny O"

Thanks  :-)

Hi again John,

Didn't get the time to go through the mags in any great detail on my weekend back in Brissie..  Sorry..

I'll be back in Brisbane again in 2 weeks, and should be able to devote a bit more time to going through them then.

I surprised myself with how many T&T's I actually had!

Thanks,

Tony

[John Orchard]

Thanks heaps Tony, I appreciate your concern  :-)
