Keeping the threads separate.....I love the international thread but have no idea who they are.
So, to get things back to home on a separate thread, who are these riders, where was it and when? And since it is easy and I already owe motomaniac half my wine collection, no prizes for this one.

Im going for 77.
#1 Gunter ,dinsdale behind #6, #23 Gall,#2 G.Flood - the m guy onthe right in front -T.Williams
#4 and#16 are Honda riders from SA??? mAYBE s.Rowlands???
-
If they are honda riders from SA it will be Steve Rowlands and Darryl Willoughby.
I went for '76 cos there was no 250 Honda in '77 but i just noticed Gunter's bike has '77 forks.

Not sure but I went for 77 bcoz of the forks ,also Gally has no speedo and tacho. The Hondas might be trik M3's .Pace and Behrens had Marzooclis I think.

Very close. Definitely Gunter out front in 1977 at Puncture Park (aka ACUSA Park, Harrogate, at the inaugural Hang Ten Championships).
There was a third Honda rider on the 250 with the Mugen kit and HRC front forks (gas bottles extending up above the top triple clamp). #16 is Willoughby. Rowlands was #3, not #4 (at far left).
Maybe #22 was Riley, who tragically died after a fall in Mr MX at Broadford in 1979 (or 1980)??????
-
Yes Rowlands came along a year or two later , so who is #4.
Danny Riley died 77 or 78 I thought????
-
I understand he went racing overseas the next year.
Danny Riley died after 1978.

Danny Riley died after 1978.
I thought that Mike Landman won the Danny Riley Memorial twice on Yamaha . 78,79 ?
1980 he went to europe.81 he was on Honda and didnt win much.?? Not sure .
Danny Riley R.I.P
-
Could it be Terry Wigzell on the #4 Honda.

Thats Good

No, not Terry Wigzell.
I can't remember Landman winning Danny Reilly, but I know he won the Laurie Boulter twice, one of which was in 1976. May have also won in 1977.

???
Yes at least twice and back to back .I thought that he won the Danny Reilly as well???
-
He may have won the Danny Reilly. I wasn't around from 1978 through to 1981, so may have missed the first ones.
Another shot of the #4 Honda. Does any-one know anything about the front forks??? Were they used anywhere else?

-
Can't say i've ever seen those forks on a Honda before. They look similar to Yamaha forks bit with smaller canisters.
That bike looks a bit dated compared to the competition.
-
Seriously dated ,those look like custom made yamaha aircanister copies too me.
Wonder who it is ,some of the WA guys rode thsoe old Hondas well past thier use by date.
-
It was the year that Honda forgot. It was a 76 model with more changes to the rear suspension set-up than I've had hot breakfasts, none of which were any better than the orginal. To make it more competitive, HRC sent out the front forks, which were nitrogen filled but non-adjustable. They also sent out a "mugen" kit (port job and pistons) to go with it. That was all for the Oz Titles. It all went back straight after.
The rider was from SA. Very debonair, handsome, intelligent, smooth, ..... the superlatives are endless
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wouldn't be giving yourself a wrap by any chance?? :)

Given the present state of obesity, baldness, divorced status and still riding bikes, I don't think any of the mentioned superlatives apply now, and given that we gain wisdom over the years, they certainly weren't true back then.... :D

It's a sure sign of a miss spent childhood.

Great shot. Who's on the deck? The helmet looks familiar ???
-
72 was the year the Titles were held in Wallan, weren't they ???? (read "dust titles" :()
So what would this event have been? Was it the Grand National or something like that ??? ???
-
Judging by the riders .I would say The Grand Nat for sure.
