That's a good shot KB. I was thinking there would be a few in motocross action mags from the era.

I got some of my own shots from MXdN in 88 with Leisk on Thorpeys works bike some where , not sure how they would come out after scanning but I give it a try.

Hi Dave , have you asked Jeff direct ?  If you need his details I can mail them to you. I am very tempted to come myself in combination of a business trip . more to that when it gets closer . Cheers Walter

Hi walter, i have been in contact with jeff for months now. He is coming to the uk next year for our event and it would be cool for you guys to come see his old stomping grounds and the support he still has from us euro mx fans.  We have Dave thorpe and eric geboers to complete the 1989 HRC dream team that finished 1-2-3 in the 500GP season  .     Believe it or not jeff has no pics from back in the day nor did he have any film of his GP days{he does now}        We have a cool 89  CR 500 Leisk replica he has agreed to ride.      If you couldent get to europe 20 years ago try now.      thanks for the No 18 pic    its perfect.

Yes Dave I was there.I got some more pics that I will put up when I get a break.I assume that you were too? It was an awesome weekend , many great riders and bikes and the crowd was huge.I still got a strange ring in my ears from all those airhones for Vimond and Bayle.

This is the main straight, full throttle ,Ronnie and Jeff were this close or closer lap after lap until Leiskie bobbled a bit and Leichen swooped.Later JMB on his CR125 also passed Jeff who was tiring abit hanging on the the works 500.Strange that the press did not report JMB's come from behind on a 125 ride as much as JohhnyO's 2 years before .It was comparable.
