Shit Firko, that shut us up.
Makes me wonder why I even think about complaining about the world-
Thank You.
And Thanks Greg Sweikert.
I wonder how his boy is doing without a dad?

What about Fr Noel Heenan? What happened to Noel? I like his Mega 2 Maico 'cause it isn't one of those blinged up fancy-boy ones that we're so used to seeing all the time. His looked like he'd just finished dropping a few bales down the back paddock before he put it on the trailer to take racing!
He was one of the crustiest old boys still out having a go. At sixty (two years ago) he was still a force to be reckoned with and as far as I know he's competed in just about every form of motor cycle racing there is.
The last I heard he'd climbed into a paddock with a feral pig pissed (him, not the pig) and proceeded to get gored whilst trying to bless said porker. Apparently that put him out of action for a while.

God bless Father Noel....... :)

Spot on Brian....Andy was a genuinely nice fella, a gentleman and one of the smoothest riders I ever saw.

My Godson is the captain/coach of Victor Harbour in the SAFL country comp (whatever it's called) and is also a dirtbike rider. He tells me that whenever he plays in Keith, Andys home town, he is blown away by the reverence those people still have for Andy. There's Caldecott Park and other memorials to Andy all over town. Apparently he was a also pretty handy Aussie Rules footballer as well in his younger days. There used to be a sign when driving into Keith that said...'Keith, Birthplace of Andy Caldecott'........That say it all really.

Alison a bit late with a reply but Pokey was wandering around Classic Dirt with his lady having a good chin wag and optic. Still has his 185 project but life's got in the way of bikes for the past year or so. Now lives at Maleny and a top bloke to boot ;)
