Thanks Slides , I thought # 99  was Ollie but wasn't sure and as far as Cliff's 250 slider, I'm not sure what it is , I'll ask KP in the next couple of days.
KP is just getting into computers and is still trying to send me the video of the V twin start-up and I'll bet he has a heap more photos.

Well there is an hour I won't get back! I've just gone through all 57 pages... Best I dig through a few boxes and see if I can find some old photos. I was around dirt track from 1980 to 1990 approx. I have a few revs mags from that era also. On my bucket list is to also go through a decade of VHS dirt tract tapes from the 80,s and burn them to cd!!

Does that mean you didn't enjoy looking through them,
Hard to please if you didn't.

[gettinold]

Lol. No just the opposite! I was just commenting on how big the post is. The pics etc are great. Keep them coming

[JAP 454]

See if you can post up some pix from the '80s , Gettinold, as it was an era I missed out on due to forced retirement from Short Circuit, and there are many people that would be interested.
It is really great to see some of the pix that show up from time to time and I guess it is a combined show of memories from differing eras and points of view. The thread has also put people back in touch with each other after many years.

Slides started the thread off with a particular purpose but it has grown to be far more than that and I was wondering if we can archive the whole thread as there is so much there, must talk to Graeme about that.

Oh yeah , Slides, over forty thousand hits on the thread now !, look what ya started !!
