I remember Dale stopped next to us at some traffic lights near Glendale, Newcastle. We had our MX bikes on the trailer, he was in his, Trans Am? (Vett?).
Wound down his window "going racing boys". "Yes". "Have fun". "Thanks".
(I'd seen him do one of his early jumps a few years before at Newcastle show ground.)

From memory, it wasn't that much longer before he was gone.

"it takes a Buggins to beat it" I seem to recall that line from an add for umm whatever??
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

It wasn't him Brett. It was a trials rider by the name of Howard Chapman. His wife/girlfriend had something to do with Bennett Honda at the time. Great ad though.
