OK, I've increased the photo space. I'll have to go through and prune out the old pics sometime soon...

Here my Boss F/T again in about 75-76 this time Jim's brother pat is racing it in Pro expert.  Check out the leathers, they are sexy, funny thing is i spoke to him the other day and mentioned how awsome they were, i asked him if he new where they went.     reply .............. i still have them. After 34 yrs - Yee haw.

Im asking for a full colour foto of those babies, if he wont part with them, i reckon its worth a trip to bali or some third world country that makes cheap sets up from foto's, how cool would that be riding in the original colours

i luv this shit  ;D

Freaky, do you know & Just confirming somethin I believe the National MX was run in Dargle in NSW in 1980 and then down the coat to Acusa park for the Flattrack Championship.
What state is Acusa park and is it still running,can't seem to get a search up on it.I know it has been mentioned before.
thanks Alison

YEs Acusa is in SA, its in the hill sjust out of naine. 

Probally been there since the late 30's in various forms and now is owned by MA.SA and has an enduro loop, a long track, a scrambble track and a mx loop.   

only has 2 rounds of Dt and i think the rest of the time its club use or Ride days ( public) open days, because its volunteers who keep the tracks tidy it can be prity rough and unkept. 

i think one of the guys from levis was grading it yeary but im not sure of that.  GO MA, then link to the SA site and you will see Acusa park map. its nothing special but its all we have :O)
