Here's a close up of the pic of bike #1. I have been reducing the resolution of my pics.



I reckon Nunber8 is right and that is Vic Allen on Bert Flood's 125 Mk8 with Number8's red alloy tank on it. Don't know why the number plates are that colour though. Interesting fact that Vic on the 125 Bully beat Gaston in at least one race of the Australian Tour.
I still believe the other shot of Vic and Gaston is a mk8 250 with the back hub changed to run RH shift as Vic and Gary Flood preferred.

Your on the money Stan, ;)Gary F must've liked white backgrounds on 125's or couldn't be bothered make em black, as my Mk7 had the white plates when I got from him. That was really impressive when VA beat GR on that Mk8 125,he always put in a big effort over here.
