Awesome stuff, look at the first year on that board. Showing 1992 as a Vintage title on a 1974 bike ( just 17 y/o) , kinda makes ya wonder how the argument against pre2000 being relevant is so staunch....

Not really the thread for political point score do you think and check your maths ::)
A great rider and great results on a bike many people would never consider competative. The bike along with his acheivements deserve the ongoing recognition. 8)

"I basically run my bikes stock and I believe that's what this sport is all about " 8) 8)

Not political point scoring at all, I actually don't have a lot of interest in pre2000 personally anyway. I was just acknowledging something that was there on in plain English on the board pictured and thought about the relevance of the bikes year to the date of the race held. I don't care much for the debate nor politics in general and yes, you sir are right..not the place to bring such a subject to light. Great work to all involved in preserving the memory of one of this countries finest riders ever.
Cheers, Brendan

Hi guys I don't know how to post pics on this after all these years, but I will post on OZVMX Face Book page for you that can do that and you can transfer to here if that helps?
Had a awesome time and Mitch and Catlin loved it and we also started the Dave Schwarz's 450 and Andy's 660 Dakar Motorex Rallye bikes and I stuck Mitch on his dads bike and knew where the Throttle was it was Brilliant, Mitch will be 8 this Thursday the 22nd.
Stay Safe . Regards Rosco
