Hey, the guy in the picture looks just like me, only younger and fitter and slimmer and he actually looks like he knows what he's doin, but apart from that, just like me, oh and of course he's on the bike not his arse on the deck.

On top of what my learned friend has said above, Ron Dinsdale was also Aussie vintage motocross's first real 'superstar' riding Rob Watsons Bultacos during the first half decade of Aussie VMX. He was practically unbeatable. He made a brief comeback at the 02 Nats at Ravenswood on board Keith Stackers Maicos where his shoulder to shoulder dices with the late Andy Caldecott had 'em 6 deep at the tracks edge. I think Ron came out slightly ahead over Andy but I may be wrong...it was that close.

Thank's for the Ron Dinsdale info,very interesting, when I get a bit more time I'll have a bit of a search and see what else I can learn about him, always nice to have a bit of a read about yesterday's hero's and their iron.
      Dunno if any of you guy's have read my other posting, but I'm also looking for a vf top yoke (broke mine). Any body got one they do'nt need hanging on a nail somewhere?
      Also has anyone else seen the Cappra on ebay. I'd post it on here but do'nt know how.
