Haven't got a riding partner with quite that amount of heritage, but have had two riding partners of note. One from growing up riding old trailies in the kuring-gai national chase north of sydney, and the other, the venerable graeme mcelligott, creator of this fine forum, who took me under his wing when first getting into vmx a decade ago, and we've been riding mates ever since.
A more generous, amiable guy you'll never meet, who's always happy if he can get to a few race meets every year (dirt track of last couple of years) and have some company there, back and in the pits - and that's where I came in handy. We've driven all over nsw and as far as qld (for classic dirts) for meets over that time, and we always have a fine time, and always come away with the same race results - solid mid-pack placings. Rarely more, sometimes less. Don't matter.
Funny thing is, we both bought DT250D's new in 1977. Curious choices, seeing we coulda gone 400 - and shoulda gone IT or PE or European. We're both too mild-mannered for that sort of guff!
Its been terrific, and still is.
