Aussie MX Titles Results - 1953-2003

[Hoony]

as above, i cannot upload a pdf document to the ning site in the photo section ( as it does not support pdf)?

anyone advise how i can post up a pdf to the forum easily?

how many pages is the pdf file Hoony? if it's only a couple of pages I could probably convert them to simple jpeg picture format

Hoony I don't think you can add a PDF to the photos section. You can add one to your own profile, by simply commenting on your own page (My Page). You can also attach a file to a comment or discussion post in any of the Groups.

If you really want to post it on the forum, email it to me and I'll post it up wherever you want. Email me at gmc at ozemail.com.au (my forum email address is a bit flakey so this is my personal email addy).

thanks for the offer Doc, but its 52 pages worth. its the Aussie titles results MX only 1953 - 2003.

Thanks Graeme, i think its worth putting on the site for all to view.  its your call in the end and i will leave it to you to decide.

Many Thanks to GMC & Drakey for the File.

 Thanks  Hoony,   printed all 52 pages off for my old man,  he was so wrapped when i gave it to him, many memories for him.  He started watching around 1966  & i  got inetersted  in 1969 when Gary Flood won all 4 Aust titles in one w/end .  Great post though  . Cheers  "Goof"

[Hoony]

No worries Goof, i noticed a few mistakes around 1985-7 in the sidecars, also some places missing in same 80's era.

Check out 1955 in the great list of title results--Bill Watson 2nd 500cc , 3rd Unlimited Aust. C'ship.Yes it's VMXs senior Supersenior. That is FIFTY SIX years ago and counting. Bill was 28 years old then [getting on for a top level rider]. Congratulations Bill, and hope to see you at Christal Brook.

West Australia was well represented in the results with Graeme Smythe, Hans Applgren and Jeff Leisk. Graeme was like a Wolfman on a CZ! Long hair and a beard. You used to race mostly on his back wheel. Hans also held advanced MX racing school in Perth for awhile, mostly all the local sponsored riders would attend.

On another thread about where did you go to your local dealer, I read some replies about Clem Nunn Yamaha and the grey matter suddenly released some long forgotten memories of Ron Gill (CZ),in Leederville, Mortlocks Suzuki in Hay Street and a really nice old gentleman who was the Zundapp agent in North Perth, I think his name was Charlie Drake. Mr Don Newell in Brisbane reminds me of him. Real Old School Gentlemen.
