Slider, what I'm thinking is a number 27 higher than what you thought, lets see if the Don can tell us who it is !!
Yeah that's exactly what EA is making there mate, we lived high on the hog back then, the real thing now Eh !!

Dave, I stayed in Woodstock pub once after camping in the XR overnight and freezing our bits off.
And no worries about mis-identifying the lady , I just assumed it was Connie 'cos she was always about in those days

Just to show how small this world is Dave, Kevin Flood went to school with brother Carl at Kingsgrove Nth and is now friends with my other brother Robert over on the northern beaches, his daughter is the Ironwoman, Naomi.
Alan Batkin still gets out to Nepean, his son Peter now races.

Kevin's an old mate of mine too, he rode a lot of vintage MX and DT in the early days on his own Elsinore 125 and Maico and my bikes on the big occasions. He came second to Boagy in pre 70 at the Tanunda Nats and the first Cherabah Nats on my 'DT1 from Hell'. He loved VMX but the Iron Man events and duty at Bilgola Beach surf club took away his free time. He's a really nice bloke.

So I got the right Kevin Flood, how many that raced bikes can there be?
As soon as I posted my reply I thought, hang on.
Betric was based around private hospitals if I'm not wrong?

I'm going to post some pictures I've found on the net over the years.

IN NO WAY DO I CLAIM THESE IMAGES TO BE MINE.
 
Just needed to make that clear as I have had issues with precious photographers in the past. I just love looking at these old pictures and thought you guy's may like to see them too.

Anyway I'll kick them off with one from 1981.



Cheers
Shaun
