2013 Classic Dirt Track Champs

I remember that purple and green bike from Griffith 75. With due respect, I recall thinking "what a weird colour combo" and it's haunted my sub concious ever since .

Hi Firko........you can now REST IN PEACE.........Here is the bike I replaced it with.......a Yamaha MX400B at Amaroo Park in 1977. This was my favourite bike, but was just not quick enough to match it with the A graders.....a great club bike though.

Good going Dave and a good shot of you in Griffith pits with Connie Shields in the background. There is a thead on Foto Forum, " Classic Dirt Track Images" which I guess we should use as we've sorta hijacked this thread. Have a look at the Images thread , there is a shitload of Short Circuit fotos there.

Great bike Dave..the 400b is right up there as one of Yamahas best. Amaroo Park was a brilliant track too. I can see why you're Purple Dave though.......er, gorgeous .
To make you feel at home, our mate Jonesy has a purple Rickman Honda and I once raced purple Maicos.

The sad thing is Firko, I'm still doing it......different purple suit, same design.....me at Eastern Creek in 2005 on my Triumph RS Sprint. I'm too old to change now !!

Great photo's Dave, I remember you from those days. See if you can get back involved with the Classic scene. I'm sure someone has something for you to ride at Temora, that roadracing experience will come in handy! Peter

I've split this thread so that we can have a dedicated thread now that it's a definite where the titles will be. This thread is now closed. The new thread will be 'sticky'.
