Nice clear UP CLOSE photos Jackie; mind you don't catch the lense on the passing handlebars! ;) :D ;D

Thanks Wombat, but through the lens is as close to actually racing a bike that I'm ever going to get. I once had a dream that I too could ride a bike, so off I went and bought myself a postie to learn on, well like a bad scratch on a record, reality slapped me in the face. You see, I'm the only person in the world, that while learning to ride a postie bike, on a 40 acre property, could run into a stationary horse float. So I figure I'm safer behind the lens. By the way if you don't mind me asking what do you race and what number are you.

Great story Jackie; a vision worthy of 'Australias funniest home videos'...but I'm sure we all have unfortunate 'learning to ride' stories.
I believe my first prang was in third gear - I pulled hard on the front brake instead of the clutch...
I was learning, going pretty quick and there were two handles - I chose the wrong one!

My own re entry to MX, or VMX, hasn't gone to plan for various reasons.
I currently have two Maicos and race number #22. Unfortunately only a BMCC practice day and CD5 have been the sum of this years events.
But I hope to make Connondale.

In fact, perhaps you could unveil and remount the Postie bike in the proposed 'Lord of the Flies' under 100cc class?
Check the thread in Yamaha / Do you Moto 100 which has the Members buzzing with anticipation.

And a question - I see a signature has appeared across your photos.
It usually indicates the photos are for sale; is this correct?

  Like the photos.  :)  I too, feel safer behind the lens, especially where bikes are concerned!  My son's Jr-50 is powerful enough for me  ;D

Great photos, thanks for going to the effort.

I'm definately going to have to lose some weight before I start riding again. Those closeups are a killer.

Wombat your a funny man, but believe me its safer for everyone if I stay away from a track that other people will also be on, not to mention the spectators, or those lovely bikes I would have to pass in the pits to get to the start...remember the horse float. In answer to your question yes I will be selling my photos from now on, I'm still in the process of working things out.

Scrampics checked your photos out excellent!

  Thankyou Jackiemac, keep up the good work yourself.  When you get your photos organised, let us know.  Because like me, I'm sure that everyone would like to take a look. :)

Hey jackiemac, is this you with the camera on the bank at Nudgee?
My boy took this photo of me (my first ride in 29 years) and I'm guessing that's you in the background?

Looks like you've got the handle on the 326 Wombat. I can't throw the 390 Husky around like I could that. Damn that's a good bike!
Cheers,
