Looks like Brissy will be wet this week end, just when we need to start getting out and doing some pre season training.
So, what to do??
Just lucky an old mate turned up with a full box of 70's Motocross Action, Dirt Bike, Two Wheels etc...
Might have to spend the whole wet weekend reading through and colating a list of what's what before I list them---on here.
Also got hold of a collection of Mr MX posters-all but the 1st I think and some double ups. Oh and a whole roll of 1984's.
So keep watching........

Or you can come and help me spread grass seed at Bibaddaba, and check out the new track....jumps and all....trolley friendly now.
-
Get some Pics of what's been done at yabbadabadoo. Jumps and all 8)

Wish the trolley wasn't in bits--love training in the rain :D :D 8)

Anytime you're back in town Brent your most welcome.
Have had a break from it for a while so am just gettin back into it again.
Much prefer outdoors to indoors though.
Gotta be better than watchin grass grow ;D
Although a good magazine sounds like fun too... :)
-
Not sure if they stooped low enough Jonny :D :D :D
I will be skimming through each mag making a note of month/year and articles.
Some are a little shabby but the info is still in there--others are prestine.
One of the first I came across had a story about Hodaka in Vic Rallycross--on another thread here some days back--1970 ish.
Arrgh..there will be some great stuff in this lot.

They are saying its only the smaller dams on other creek/river systems.
Its like fire, they have got to warn people and give them a choice these days :-\ ::)

They got a call just after 5.00 this morning to say Awonga Dam, up-stream from Gladstone is full and they are expecting heaps more rain, so be prepared to move.
He's got his boat tied up outside :)
