Title: Some early Aussie 80's
Post by: GT43 on March 24, 2013, 02:12:32 am: Doing a bit of scanning - mags are starting to deteriorate.
So while at it, thought I would post some.

This is from an "Australian Motorcycle News" mag called "Australian motocross buyers guide" around 1983.

These pics were uploaded at "Imageshack", which wont automatically shrink the resolution like "Photobucket" does.
Photobucket is a joke.

Post by: EML on March 26, 2013, 05:55:28 pm: 82-83 sure was at the pinnacle of 'our' era that's for sure. Looking through the lists there are not too many that are not still mentioned in day to day conversations at VMX.
And what a great bunch of guys they are still.

Cheers Ray.
I think the Yanks call this their "Golden Age" of Motocross.
No doubt, I thinks its Australia's Golden Age period as well.

Thanks for that.
Checked out the Bayliss Classic online, and think I spotted Vaughan in a photo wearing a yellow fox jersey, standing in the back-right row of a group shot ?
Nice to know hes still having a go.

Post by: evo550 on April 10, 2013, 01:59:36 pm: Someone should show the current ADB crew (and most other modern dirt bike mags) how their predecessors wrote up tests.
The crap they put out now is junk, journalism degree my arse. They just regurgitate the manufacturers press release.

No worries "VMX247", thanks - only to happy to share some of this material. :)

Perhaps a lot of the Members here on the Forum have these Mags stored away themselves.
I thought maybe overseas people might like to see what Aussies did back in the 80's, while I'm' scanning the stuff.

Longwarry must have been a cool track going by the comments, I guess it closed down ?
Unfortunately I never left SA when I was racing in 84.
