Yamaha / IT 125 sidecovers
« on: March 09, 2014, 09:15:16 am »
While poking around an old shed out in the hills, I came across this pair of sidecovers, they are of no interest for me, but being in such relatively good order for their age , I thought someone could make use of them, 3R9 is molded into them, which equates to an IT125 of 1980, that agrees with the remains of the 125 stickers.

Vintage Track / VALE TAFFY WILLIAMS
« on: July 26, 2013, 05:52:42 pm »
It was with great personal sadness that I learnt today of the passing, yesterday of Taffy Williams,
Taffy was the father of the late Ian Williams, # 112 and leaves his wife, Nancy and daughter, Anne .
Taffy was an accomplished rider, being at one time Welsh Trials Champion and a competitor at the IOM TT.
He ran a bike shop in Qeanbeyan and supported Ian through-out his Short Circuit career, he was also a regular at the South Coast Cup meetings at Sapphire Speedway, I last spoke with Taffy at a Fairbairn Dirt Track meeting a couple of years ago, the Aussie Titles.
His funeral is this coming Tuesday, for those who wish to attend,details will be in the Canberra times or on their website.
God speed, Taff

Vintage Track / HERB HONOURED
« on: June 01, 2013, 04:46:09 pm »
Short Circuit Legend Herb Jefferson was inducted into the Hunter Region Sporting Hall of Fame, he joins KD, Vic Duggan, Billy Lamont and Chris Watson and George Watson, the only father and son inductees
HERB JEFFERSON – DIRT TRACK MOTORCYCLE RACING
When his sister’s boyfriend wanted to sell all his gear – bike, helmet, the works – Herb Jefferson did the deal and grabbed the opportunity to fulfill a long standing desire to go motorcycle racing. Born at New Lambton in 1942, Jefferson joined the Lake Macquarie Motorcycle Club – better known as Lakes – and at 18 years of age began competitive racing – a move that would eventually take him to the top of the sport of dirt track motorcycle racing.
Salty Creek (Edgeworth/Barnsley) and Heddon Greta in the Lower Hunter, Hillview (Muswellbrook) in the Upper Hunter and Old Bar, Taree were the ‘headquarters’ for dirt track racing and it didn’t take long for Jefferson to work his way from C Grade to A Grade through regular competition at these venues.
Ironically, it was at the furthest corners of Australia where Jefferson began bagging his collection of Australian championships. His first title victory was in the 350cc division at Devonport, Tasmania in 1963. He credits his victory to his father who was laid off work at the time and decided to spend time with his son as his dirt track career continued to blossom. The Jefferson family ‘team’ loaded their racing gear onto the ‘Spirit of Tasmania’ and came back with an Australian title.
In the following year, 1964, the Australian Dirt Track Championships were held at Forrestfield, Western Australia and Jefferson headed across the dirt road of the Nullabor Plains. He made the long trip all worthwhile by successfully defending his 350cc Championship crown.
Southport in Queensland was the venue for the 1965 Australian Dirt Track Championship and Jefferson headed north to try for a ‘three-peat’ of his 350cc Championship. On the tight Southport track, Jefferson scored his third straight 350cc title and to show just how his talents had continued to develop, he also won the Australian Unlimited Championship, making it a total of four National titles.
Then in 1966, Jefferson scored the Grand Slam of Australian Dirt Track Championships – all three titles. The venue was Old Bar Circuit, near Taree – a track that Jefferson obviously had a liking for. He won the 350cc Championship, the 500cc Championship and the Unlimited Championship – an incredible performance.
Herb Jefferson won seven Australian Dirt Track Championships along with a number of NSW and Queensland State Dirt Track Championships.
Herb being congratulated by Ministers Rep. Sarah Claydon
