Post by: chrisdespo on April 08, 2012, 09:26:40 am

Was talking to my father and he said he'd found some old slides found this one at Ravenswood I'm on my RM125M i think Jeff Beatie RM125M and i think but may be wrong that th TM 125 has Jerry Healy on it i know his name was Jerry anyway. it may have been a Stars of tomorrow meeting all C grade.(http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n606/chrisdespo/Picture029.jpg)

Not me Chris. I do come from the Eastern suburbs (Mooroolbark) but I only ever raced at Ravo on an Ossa Phantom. It could be Pedro Van Asten who rode for Mooroolbak motorcycles with Chris Oldfield and Sam Skilling. J
