The '68 6hr machine.
cheers
Note the grasshopper rear tyre, 21'' front, no mufflers, indestuctable non swing up footrests, all the good gear of the day. Not forgetting 'Molybaked' chains and moybdenum-di-sulphide added to the engine oil and added to the oil can for squirting onto the chains during refuel pit stops.

Man that's awesome
Can't say anything else!!!!

I wouldn't have recognised that as Gilesy in the top photo....but it is. I love the photo of the two blokes (Alby Newton showing off his ripped body???) in the pits with the Cotton and Beeza. The bloke on the right looks to have mastered mobile phone technology 40 years early 8).

Albert and his Cotton with Milton Vincent. The Cotton was Albys' Milton was riding a 250 Ducati, Kembla mid 60's.
cheers pancho.

Back in my old street racing days there was a bloke who lived at Matraville who had a 292 Cusso V8 in one of those Wolesley 6/80s. It was a frighteningly fast car for the late 60's and the king of the Bunnerong Powerhouse road until Peter King got his genuine '62 Chevy Impala 409SS Bubbletop in late '69. That thing made all of our hotty FJ's seem kind of insignificant. It'd still be considered a seriously quick car today.(sorry for the little sidetrack).

Firko, have another look at the bike with the Cotton, It's a BSA Bantam tank on an AJ or Matchy.
I really like the Tribsa Wally, wouda bin fun ta ride!!
Foss

Ya right Foss, I've got a soft spot for T100 Tribsas' ever since that day!.
cheers.
Mark, That old Wolseley was a magnificent old low mileage trade in where I worked (Holden Dealer). I bought it for 50 quid! 1owner!
Stuck to the road like glue, fast enough when you got it wound up.
The thing had a 'orrible cam profile which burnt out valves No 2 & 3. infamously, When it did it to me I found it the most frustrating valve regrind to do, so I fixed it and sold it.
A V8 would have been a good plan!
I new Bert Jones pretty well and badgered him to regrind the cam profiles but he said "no bloody way, they are a pain to do.'
I then bought my E.H and thought 'this thing doesn't handle' after 'ol gold finger'.
cheers pancho.
-
I forget how I dood it! bugger! have to confer with my adviser again! :'(
-
my dad has a 1948 Wolseley 680 - allowed to be done up as a Police car replica and shown!!!! For the time they did go well.
-
Mine was a '52 model. Very quiet on the road, stuck well to the road but had massive body role. It needed a stabillizer bar. The front end had SIX shock absorbers!
Two tellies and one lever action each side, all original!
It was a one owner when I got it, the paint was all polished through in spots, I had it resprayed Arora Gold EJ Premier colour.
Nice.
cheers.

Actually it's a 350 Ariel in the Ajay frame.
Taken at Moorebank. This rough looking thing was built by a Merrylands clubmate named Leo Brunbauer and I rode it in a race at Kembla previously and I was amazed at how easy it handled and how perfect Leo had it set up. Leo got 3rd in the 350 class oz titles at Kembla in a top class field.
I wonder sometimes where Leo ended up after going to eN Zud. A clever tradesman.
No 67 is Willouby Club hard working past secretary Len Main negotiating the infamous 'Sorbent Hill' at Moorebank.

Good stuff Wal.....you never hear great old names like Silentjew any more eh? That's a beauty, a bit like the late Arthur Hamburger ;D. Is it Barry Balchin in the Moorebank photo?
-
Yeah Mark, in the true oz tradition of nic names we called our Arthur 'Halfa Sanshoe'
That went well when I used to do the MDMCC club news in the "motor cycle clubman', I put in there after a club day that "I'd been beaten by half a wheel before but never by halfa sanshoe", We miss Arthur, a gentleman who went through VERY hard times as a child in WW2.

Hey Pancho,
Are you sure that's Moorebank? Sure looks like Kembla to me, even the tower.

You could be right Pete! the left side of the screen looks a bit wrong for 'Fishers' and a lot of trees!. I'll check other slides in that lot for more clues.

Good stuff Alvin!, Don' suppose you have any old MDMCC 'club news by pancho? I never kept any!
-
Wally those Amaroo shots are priceless. Pardon my ignorance but who's the Maestro? I'm only a young sprog y'know, I was only thirteen when those shots were taken.
-
That's Herb Jefferson on the unbelievable B31 Beeza that nobody could catch. Often wondered who did the engine work, cams etc. Also just noticed looking at that pic how far back he had the footrests mounted. Hagon frames were just around the corner of the calender!
Glad you like them!, pity I was a bit slow chasing the aputure/shutter speed adjustments on the ol' Lieca!
Still more left! cheers.

More good stuff Wally.....I took the liberty to brighten up your photo a bit in a bid to try to identify the bike but still can't make it out. What were you riding Wal? You look like Marlon Brando talking to Lee Marvin in an out take from the Wild One with your rocker jacket and fingerless gloves ;D. I'm impressed that Alwyn Kurts could take some time off from filming the Homicide TV series to man a flag for the club.

The quality of these photo's is awesome and a big window into the way it was.
This stuff takes me back to my childhood especially Amaroo, a great example of how much the track actually changed in height.
My biggest memorry of Amaroo was sneaking up through the bush ans sitting right on the edge of the Main Curve, I mean Straight and the cave that was above turn 2.
You're a legend Walter.

What a great shot of Geoff Curtis.......the TARies hated anyone who put his foot down on the black stuff. NOW ONLY THE BEST RIDERS DO IT !!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I was 7 when you won that Dave, shit you're old.
That shot of GC is my all time favourite Wally, as my dad said, "That little bugger can ride anything".
Went to the Showground reunion on Sunday and did a walk of the track, GC is the last name on the plaque of rememberance.
Geoff was a family friend and I got a cold chill when I walked past the part of the track where he sadly left us, I got the same feeling when we passed the spot where my carreer ended as well.
As Booey said, " The Showground was a bloody dangerous track and if you got it wrong you could lose all the skin off your arse".
My sentiments exactly.
-
What a blast from the past Punchy. Keep em comin'.The '60's and '70's just seemed so right.
Wonderful laidback lifestyle etc.
regards Mark

I would have taken those Amoroo pics about the time my left wrist was in plaster for three months, [broken wrist courtesy of Arcadia before I cut the lock stops of the steering head]. There will be more somewhere. I took some good shots at Oran park road racing 'cos I' NOT a road racer!
cheers pancho
-
Hey, Wal I had a yarn with Ray Curtis about the pic of GC at Oran Park, Ray tells me that Geoff is on Geoffery Coombes' 500 Goldie that he had let GC " make use of " while he , Geoffery Coombes, was OS.
Ray also told me he has just been lent a 650 Suzy roadie " to make use of ' while the owner is OS, not having a leather jacket , he went to the St.V. de P. leathergoods emporium and came out with a Brando LJ. in good nick
Top pix you've been posting, Wal, it was a different era, Eh ? nobody worried too much about "bling" back then, just went out and raced 'em !!

I can remember Bathurst enduro rider Alan Cunynghame getting into a lot of shit for his motocross/dirt track riding style NSW road racing circuits back in the seventies. The thing that made him so hated by the road racers was his squaring off corners like a motocrosser and sliding with his foot down like Curtis in the above photo. Conservative racers of the era jacked up and continuously reported him to stewards who would often disqualify him. The was a big hoo haa about it in Revs and AMCN at the time. The thing that really got up their noses though was that he was beating them on a CR250 Honda motocrosser.
-
I remember that Firko, why are we not surprised?
Check out the rubber mark a bit wider than GC in that photo, the lap before maybe?
What a rider, he may have been at the tail of the field but as my father used to say, the little shit can ride a bike.
I gotta go, the Police Chopper is hovering around nearby, I think my sons on his way home.
-
Check out the rubber mark a bit wider than GC in that photo, the lap before maybe
Even better check the oil dumped on the very edge of the track in the full photo of Geoff Curtis. Someone had an expensive day out. ::)

Meanwhile I've just loaded up my bike for tomorrows Syd.West rnd.
