A bit of Jeff Leisk History
« on: January 29, 2010, 09:12:57 pm »
I am slowly turning red, no doubt due to my summer CR "project" hence a recent acquistion of some replica gear used by my favourite Aussie MX rider (he smoked the 500 champs in NZ in the mid 80's).

I thought the Honda men of the forum would get a kick out of some photos of the gear!

That's cool.. I remember Leisky wearing that gear in Europe '89- '90.

 People don't seem to be interested in jeff Leisk  memorabilia for some reason. I bought 20 of the Jeff Leisk 1986 Cr500 Mr Motorcross stickers on Ebay a couple years ago for $5 I was the only bid :)Darcy
I might not be winning,But I'll be grinning

there was a few before him, but he was certainly the most successful on the world stage to date in that time.

Maybe because he never actually won. I would stick with the King and Coppins memorobilia. ;)

Actually I am a fan as well, Jeff and his brother Mark were riding when I was in WA, though much faster.

Mark was a big bloke who could do a walking speed balance point wheelie on an RMX250... nice trick
