Mentioning the Wilde boys brings back some memories, there sister Sally was a good sought if I remember rightly. Are you still in contact with them?
I will try to catch you at Nepean in a couple of weeks and Carl should be coming as well. If Carl starts riding again I think I'll retire for a second time.
Will Allan be there with a few of his Masterpieces?

Curly I haven't seen any of the Wildes since I went to Sams 50th at his house in Queanbeyan about 5 years ago. Micks still got his ex Ole Olsen Weslake speedway bike 'The Pensioner' and think he's living on the central coast somewhere. Sals still with her husband in Toongabbie and still looked pretty good 5 years ago when I last saw her last. Her daughter is even more beautiful than Sal was at that age, which says a lot. Don't know whats up with Billy but he still looks like Keith Richard .
Yeah Jonesy will have his Hagon and Black Betty at Nepean, maybe even Ugly Betty as well. He and I will both look forward to carching up with you both.

Sorry 'bout the thread hijack........hey, wait a minute, it's my thread .

YEs firko, Re the Antig, interested.  

Seeing as things are getting as little light on down here ATM i was still looking at building a Slider style 250 or picking up a speedway bike for somthing else to try from the bucket list.

IF the Dt and MX NAts, werent so far away road time wise, or if i could have borrowed something up there, i would have gone, but essentially (as it stands ) is a wasteland for classic rides this year in SA, so im not wasting my time on it next year ( 2010) unless i can get to those big events on the calender. :'(

I have a spare MX 250 i can pull from a Champion as i still want to see what that runs like with the Sc500 in it,   HAving a go on a slider with a gearbox might allow me to 'give it a wirl' on a ST/Lt frame but have the security of a gearbox and a motor i know somehitng about.

Keep me posted, but from your last description of  "the micheal Jackson" doesnt give me great confidence, but who knows it might even give BBetty a run if for nothing else in its naming

I last saw Billy at the BWP 50th about 7 or 8 years ago and he looked fit then. I understand his grandson is riding and going pretty good.
Hey Firko are you guys camping at the track on the sat night?
