Last Saturday I ventured up to Tamworth for a little LAST MINUTE practice for Temora.......I was invited by Tamworth and ex fellow Central MCC member, Gregg McLean.
A great roll up of young and very talented speedway riders from NSW and QLD, together with a strong dirt track field....
FABULOUS speedway track, with a right hand dog leg on the back straight for dirt track.....
Gregg and I were the only 2 Vintage Riders with Vintage Bikes, so we were a CURIOSITY to the young blokes....... ???

Having a rest after practice...... :P


Getting ready for race.... 8)

 Is that Triumph single a Tiger 90 Dave? All those old Trumpy singles were fliers, I think they were Val Page creations?

 I had a Tiger 70 (250) Carey special, absolute rocket, wish I still had that one!
