Wolverine, I've got the full size version of that one, (black & white), but how did you post your pictures, I tried, but the attach option is gone, I remember a while ago reading we had run out of space?

I love looking at old MX tracks. MA would go nuts at rego time.

[albrid-3]

Yes l do to, there is something about the past that we all cherrish. It is so important to preserve our vintage racing, the 60`s & 70 era, we need the juniors as part of the Australia Titles too, to ride pre 75 classes, so they too can learn about their father fathers Passion and history of this sport, and they too will appreciate our bikes better.

Hi Wolverine, a good find, I bought a '63 Dot Demon 5 or 6 years ago from the West coast, South Island NZ, I rode it a couple of times, it went well. I was never sure how original it was, but after sighting your photo's they are the same, Great! At present my has a more conventional expansion chamber fitted.
Hope you enjoy your bike.

hey Gilbale  are you the gilbale who works on the boats and knows Nigel in Tauranga? im jolly

[mike1948]

The track in the photo was at Dundula, just outside Mackay, QLD.  In those days we didn't seem to worry too much about trees & stuff.
Wish I still had the bike, though changing the megaphone for a chamber would spoil the looks.

Hi Mike the megaphone is staying on the bike, l will have to silence a tad, so l am going to get an insert made that will go into the mega, have see it done. it works well and you wouldn`t know. it will look the same.
cheers
