   You could'nt mention australian and hunter valley legends without mentioning Keith Davies,Greg Primmer and Chris Watson (all multiple aust title holders and up there with the best) from the Mighty wallsend and kurri-kurri clubs

Does any-body have pics of Herb Jeffo riding that daggy looking BSA 350 that scorched the sox of all-comers? I think i have one from Amaroo somewhere. Keep 'em coming cheers wally.

Hey Wally, There was a magazine article , a year or two ago on Herb with pix of the BSA and the Jawa, I have a copy in me collection.

Don , who is the rider on the left of your first pic today with Fundin , Moore and Langy ??  Not Briggo ??   Took me wife and two week old daughter to Liverpool to watch Ove in 1970, awesome .

That's who it is Al, Briggo. As competitive as Langy was, he's in illustrious company there, at least 10 world titles between them.
I should also add that all 3 riders that Huski mentioned are all legends for sure. Wato in particular was at the top longer than anyone I can remember and surprises me that he hasn't been mentioned earlier.

You are correct it was Barry Briggs.

Pretty sure thats Dave Mills with you in the last 2 shots and is the mad Austrian Helmut Schipple one of the other guys?

[Hollywood]

you are correct again. It is Dave Mills. Not sure who the other riders are. I think, from memory, it was a best pairs event.

Pits at Jerilderie Park



Very early in my speedway career at the Showground.

Wow, a photo of an Aussie icon. Sadly, as good as you were as a rider Don, and how good your photos are (keep 'em coming) I don't mean you, or Hearny for that matter.

In the background of the top photo of you and Hearny at Jerilderie there's a bloke on top of the hill behind you resplendent in beige polyester walk shorts, Fabyani non iron nylon sports shirt and the piece de resistance, a nice pair of long socks and what I hope is a pair of beige Windsor Smith slip on casuals.
The 'ensemble is topped off by a nicely Brylcreemed brush back and neatly manicured sideburns. You just know he had a 'bug rake' in his back pocket.

Damn that was a good look. It reminds me so much of my dad it hurts!

[Hollywood]

Hey Firko! I had a large chuckle over your comments, very good. I might put a few Trials photos, what do you reckon?

[Curly3]

No more slow photos on this thread please, even if there are already a few of Ian Burkett. And me of course, there's a section for trials just waiting.
I thought It looked like Stu Mountford, I wonder what his brother Steve is up to these days?
