Looks like he was a Speedway rider, the roll on the peak for perpex and the breast plate looks like the red of the Aussie one that had the white Kangaroo from around that time.

This is the Hagon TA125 I used at Romsey for second place behind Gary Chasemore.

Dad at the Harley Club drags, Calder Park. He road this Hagon at Romsey and so did I.
This is the bike that Freakshow sent home.
This was taken at the Avalon short circuit meeting under lights. Dad is leaning on the same Hagon and I raced it that night.


I think the bike below was ridden by Rod Hunter definately at Romsey.
