My very first Motocross was going to watch the Australian MX Champs at Tivoli in 1970.  I had bought a Royal Enfield 350 off my Uncle (who passed away recently RIP Uncle Graham).  I worked for Graham after school and on Saturdays.  He raced Road Racing.  Don Newell is the only rider I remember from Tivoli, but I got to ride my RE at Tivoli a couple of weeks after that.  My first MX was at Cleveland at the strawberry festival on a stripped down TS125 in 1972.  I bought a TM125 K the next year and that was were my full time involvement started.

The early memories are by far the best and still Vivid,

I remember ogling the CR125 in a bike shop in Dandenong 1977?? before Geoff Taylor took over Honda.

The next year my elder brother and i drove up to watch what would be the last mx event at Wallan and to watch one of the Hill brothers race. The both went to my high school.

So vivid is the sound of the new 1978 Cr250 bark off into the distance at Larbatouche ride park,
