I'm pretty sure it's not Langy on the Wes, I think it may be Dave Mills.
I think it is too. Too short for Langy.

Does anyone remember Langy and Phil Wilson dukin' it out in the middle of the first corner at the '75 Griffith Nats? One had brought the other down, I can't rememeber who did it to who but they were both pretty good at it. After the race was stopped and officials dragged 'em apart Wilson discovered he had a broken leg. Funny as shit at the time ;D.

Yep, Firko I remember that one, the barney that is, I also remember a well known Wagga rider, quite a large lad, decking someone at Fairbairn after both of them ended up in a heap on turn one.
Like Alvin said in an earlier post , it was WAR !!

That bingle at Griffith '75 also had Garry Harriman tangled up in it (I think).
 I can remember his bike being dragged back to the pits with a wrecked front wheel.

You got it Mark, here is a photo of my favourite aftershave & moisturizer.
Mmmmm, can smell it when I close my eyes.

The secret art, should be more of it, DT needs to go Green.
