The more there is of this the less i'll be tempted to read Nathan's posts!!
;D ;D I made a big mistake in momentarily forgetting recent history and actually trying to argue the point with him. Stupid, stupid, stupid me........My bad >:( >:(.

However.. Peters little rays of photographic sunshine have given us a great distraction from the Prophet of Doom. Keep them coming Peter.
Haha you're safe here Firko, he'll never find you in a 70's motocross thread!

Hi Shelpi, nothing wrong with a tear or two and as we get older as we tend to draw the short straw and memories keep us going. It those that keep me going and keep the old grey matter ticking over. Life is too short. Peter
Don't ask me how to ride a bike or change a gear. I have sat on a couple but never ridden one. My adrenalin rush came from taking photos of the guys/gals racing them up close and personal.

I have most of the programs for 1977 but Lester Rowley on his CCM only appears in the 1977 final round of the Mr Mx series. He may have come to Jilliby meet which was before Mr MX but his name is not in the program.

Geoff Worrell

Start of the Unlimited Titles. See if you can get every race # and the rider involved.

Check out the surgical start rubber. It was a ball tearer if you got in its way after release.

Lester also rode the CCM at the 77 Tivoli round or Mr MX..
