HI
I was a dirt track rider from way back (not that far) B grade, Nepean, Londonderry, Amaroo, Arcadia and so on, raced CR125, CR250, XL250 and Macio 440. Also had a brief go at Road Racing. Got lots of pics to share as soon as I get the scanner back on line and figure out how to post? Used to work for Paul Giles at Hawkesbury Motorcycles, I put Shaun Giles mini bikes together, doubt if he remembers me, not many left from those days.

Good to see the venerable old K70.
Jim's right, 2 bikes is the optimum number at a club day, easy for him to say, he's got about 6 to choose from.
There is a club day on this weekend at Nepean, come along.

HI

I had 161 and 173 at different times, I ended up with 5 bikes (I road/trail 4 racing) so thats a ute plus trailer? Sadly I am still within a short distance of Nepean but my only bike is a CRF450 2010 so no classic bikes just the rider?
