Hi hope this isn't hijacking but these shots are taken at Calder Park back in the early 80s late 70s by my Dad

Close up of Johnny Fogwell  on xl500








And finally the Crash


 Johnny Fogwell now has a restaurant in Caloundra these days and is still in good shape

That's Johnny Fogwell the Qld stuntman. Carl Fogerty was World Superbike champ and not likely to be jumping cars on a XL500..

I was at that Calder Park Jump off with Johnny Fogwell & Gary Wells. i have old super 8 film (converted to DVD) of this event, watching them was great as i was about 14/15.

[JohnnyO]

Hoony I didn't know Gary Wells came out here. Wasn't he seriously injured in a jump at Caesars Palace that ended his career?

[Hoony]

not sure John, he was great when out here, he rode his CR250 sitting backwards and pulled some very long mono's at speed through all the gears, fogwell too was good, i have the video when he over jumped the landing ramp collapsing his front wheel. in hindsight i think the big fourstroke was not the best choice for jumping compared to the CR

Styling up there Hoony, that would have been a TT250's high water mark

Sad how it all ended up for him.I never saw him live but I think it was him rode the bike in the XL honda add on telly jumping off desks etc.I used to know a friend of his called Norm Grey who was also a stunt rider:anyone heard of him?

Here's a bit on the making of that Honda add from AMCN 1978.

TT250G Really Twisty, not many came into the country as the first model had not compliance of lights at all. easy bike to mono, but shit that seat was wide at the back..
