A cup like this needs to be presented to a gutsy rider at a special VMX event in Oz..Not on a bar in some house..imo
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1989-500CC-MX-Namur-Belgium-Trophy-Leisky-Geboers-signed-Roger-DeCoster-/330773472545?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item4d03a2a521Gday all MX VMX fans, this is a Rare Piece of 500 CC MX History I'm offering for Auction for the First time in 23 Years, since the day it was handed to us at Namur at the Grand Prix De Belgique on the 6-08-1989 Leisky's debut 2nd in Championship Year.
I have another couple of special projects coming up and thought it’s time to let someone else enjoy this rare piece of MX History.
Jeff’s Dad and Mum, Bob and Helen were at the event as well as Ritchie Rose’s parents to witness this Epic day at the beginning of August,
Leisky went out after 45 mins + a lap dominated the Win in Moto 1 over his Team Honda Team Mates Dave Thorpe and Eric Geboers previous 500 cc World Champion’s. In between Race 1 and 2 Leisky as usual didn’t say to much but wasn’t feeling to flash. As it turns out after vomiting nearly 4 times during race 2 and dehydrated to the max and no energy left to challenge ended up still a incredible 4th.
It got in from the race and we had to lift him off the bike he was so wrecked, and get him on a drip, he was in that bad of away didn’t even make the Podium which ended up a team Honda Sweep. With Thorpe going 2/1, Leisky going 1/ 4 and Geboers going 4/3 for points of 37, 33, 32.
As you can see I have included Italy Motocross Magazine story showing results and Podium without Jeff and Eric really believed on the day he got 2nd and Jeff 3rd.
Anyway Jeff didn’t check or care about 2nd or 3rd so the Trophy, and was just put with his many other’s in Garry Benn’s basement spare room, which one day Jeff said he was having a clean up and getting rid of them all, and if there was anything I want take it.
Citadel, Namur, Geboers, Thorpe, Jeff’s Mum and Dad there, and what I consider his gutsiest ride I have seen him in over to that point 15 yrs of riding. You can Google and watch this most famous Race and Jeff’s win and struggles in race 2.
You have never seen anything like this on offer, as you know normally end up with Rider, Manufacture or Sponsor.
Spread the Word and Stay Safe.
