« on: April 08, 2012, 09:26:40 am »
Was talking to my father and he said he'd found some old slides found this one at Ravenswood I'm on my RM125M i think Jeff Beatie RM125M and i think but may be wrong that th TM 125 has Jerry Healy on it i know his name was Jerry anyway. it may have been a Stars of tomorrow meeting all C grade.

Not me Chris. I do come from the Eastern suburbs (Mooroolbark) but I only ever raced at Ravo on an Ossa Phantom. It could be Pedro Van Asten who rode for Mooroolbak motorcycles with Chris Oldfield and Sam Skilling. J

#44's throttle-minder: "I dropped 50cents, and turned their fuel off when the old guy went for it."
