Respect!! What an awesome part of your life , most if not all wont get a chance at that in a lifetime. Whats the wheel base on the YZ now though.

Great yarn.

And don't kid yourself Neale: you're still a stuntman.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

The daredevil/stuntman story came out many years ago at a pre-race saturday camp out (over a few frothies) for a VIPER event, this at a time when no one could come close to a manic dude with a mullet on a screaming YZ125. At the time the VIPER 125 class was the most competitive must see race of the program and no-one could understand how a +40 year old bloke that had to take pain killers just to start the bike could out-jump anyone regardless of bike class.

Add to this the tireless work that this retired daredevil does for the Ballarat Rovers club won't see me taking the piss or a laugh at the expense of Neale Perkins.

Thanks for the compliments guys but I certainly don't mind the piss being taken, as you know.

How this came about was I had an audition for Who Wants to be a Millionaire & was researching for my bio for them & came across this site. I notice there were a lot of Aussies so I contacted they guy & gave him a quick run down of what I had done & asked if he was interested. Days went passed with no reply so nothing lost. Then about a week later contacted me & wanted a bio & pictures & wanted to make me Jumper of the Month (April).

I'm a bit chuffed. Hardly anyone apart from the mates I grew up with knew about this & it's not something, even when talking bikes, that you can merge into the conversation.

There are more photos he didn't include, not just me, if yous are interested but I don't want to take up too much "space" so be up to Graeme M.

PS, made it through the audition. Now the wait for the call.

Space wise you can link to as many images as you like. No-one can upload images to the OzVMX server and take up space, so the usual embedding/linking to images is fine. Go for it.

Yeah I knew that we couldn't post directly anymore but still didn't know if it took up a bit of space or not.

OK will do if anyone's interested.
