The bloke crashing his Maico in the sandpit at Moorebank is future Mr Motocross promoter Vince Tesoriero. It seems he was a better promoter than rider.

An OLD MX PIC ,though not available to view

Quote from fb
Got a great story for all Aussie MX fans. During the Motocross Grand Prix in Italy last weekend I book into the hotel. The guy at reception smiles when he sees my Aussie passport and tells me to follow him. He takes me to his office and opens an old book. Inside the book he pulls out a photo. It is of the Australian MXdN team of 1986, Dacka, Bell and Army. Signed and kept in great condition. He then told me about how the team spend the week at his hotel and what a great bunch of people. His son who must have been like 10 in 1986 starts to tell me stories. Made my trip to Italy just that little bit better.

How good is that!!!
I wonder if the update mentioned above is for the twin pointer.... ::)

they were a popular upgrade at the time

made less noise, felt better under the saddle and turned out new minibikes without protest....

some needed suspension upgrades....apparently .......as well as a new sticker kit (botox :o)
