Note the Phil Thew Moto ute in the background, he was a big name in Qld mx in the 70's.

Post by: JC on February 14, 2013, 02:20:48 pm: Yeh, some great names there in Qld MX. I recall Randy Jones on a DT1M. He was a real wheelie freak on that. Dazzled me as a 12-13yr old spectator. Also recall some stunning rides by John Walmsley on Maico 125/250/400 square barrels, 250 radial & 450 Kaw. Never saw him on a Suz. Phil Thew also had Stan Veenstra on an RH. 75 I think. Those were the days...
