Andrew Turner rode every now and then at our club mainly on a modern bike, up until a couple of years ago when he buggered his back his brother Jason was also a great rider. I know the Brickhills also. Peter McCormack and Peter Willoughby would be two names that most people that raced in tassie would remember Im sure.

Graham ( Smythe ) Smith, Passed away 22/7/1945 to 23/5/2008

He was a great man & an awesome racer, I've spent many hours in his work shop with him, while I was there, he always had time to show me things, yeah you could say I learn t a lot of him, always in my thoughts RIP Smythe.

JohnnyO, Dennis Dickman and l raced in the same class years ago,, dennis lived in north geelong, l wanted to catch up with him while he was here last november, but my work didn`t premitt me too, next time. Dennis was a good rider, and we had a lot of close racing on the elsinore.

I'm trying to get him to come to CD7 at Conondale.. he's still got his original YZ465.

Post by: albrid-3 on February 01, 2010, 07:58:40 pm
Yes, l think he needs to let his hair down. Tell him, l come up to cd7, and l will use him for traction. that may stir him up a bit.

Gary Flood still regularly turns up at historic roadrace meetings, looking after the 350 AJR (latterly-built Bultaco TSS replica) ridden by either Peter Guest or Ginger Molloy. Peter de Angelis has re-appeared as sidecar passenger on the 750 Suzuki of Bruce Collins.
