Hi Mike,  I'll see what I can dig up, but I don't have too many more - Dad didn't keep his negatives for too long, as he ran out of storage space he got rid of the older ones....    :'(

I'd kill to have all those old negatives now................

BTW, I haven't kept in contact with any of the old Southside guys....  Sorry.

Any luck with the Movie?

Gday Mike & 400,
                        What a good read going through all those names wow how the memories of those days are still great the bikes with all that travel and the cool clothing that you could read, I rode a few enduro's back then got a medal in 1981 at a round of the six day series in  250 clubman class it was a TMCC event and rode another at dalby but crashed and dnf'd which put me out for a while. I think my first ACU event was at peachester I rode a 125 Husky it was a great event i thought i was lost hadn't seen anyone for a while then this IT125 flew past me i couldn't get over how clean the rider was it looked like he had missed all that mud but i found out later it was Peter Payne alias Mr clean, i had a great battle with a guy from Gathorne Husqvarna, those events were so well organized i was just a young fella with an old ute and a bike but everyone was helpful and made you feel welcome.

Hi Husky.
Good times hey. Just shows how old we are.
That Peachester one wasn,t a pony express was it? Easy to remember because of the mud.
Had a XR500 stuck in it with just the back of the seat showing. thats how u knew it was a XR. Ha Ha
Or was it the one where you had to ride over that strainer post.
Great view of the glasshouse Mts from that strainer.
Have you checked the results yet?
Did you get a mention in them?
Keep in touch.
That Gaythorn guy was he on a 125? [ John Hansen ] or a 250 [ Gary Woodgate]

Tony see that little u/tube thingy on the bottom of my letter here.
Thats Gary Woodgate at Mt Mee.
Easy hill hey.
There,s a lot of guys further down [ at the bottom ,out of shot] having a bit of a problem with their new bikes.
Gary was in Northern Districts MTC and was one of the fastest clubmen you ever saw.
He and Gavin were insane fast.
Check the 82 results.
Ended up busting his arm real bad and gave up riding.
He,s back , and almost as fast.

Gday again,
                Sorry about the slow reply! Yeah the peachester ride was a solo event dont know who the guy was he had the Gaythorne jerrsey on and he new what he was doing i was on a 79 wr 125 husky i traded my IT 175 on it i still have the receipt from Paul Rooney Motorcycles it was the first husky i bought Paul Rooney showed me a flyer on ACU events and helped me get the license done and said that the peachester ride would be a great event and he was right it had everything mud long straights and hills i had a great time and was hooked on the ACU events i used to try and save enough money to travel to them but they were always a hike i remember one at buladeela it was the first time i saw Hans Applegren he had a bumbag with a green apple symbol on it.
Thanks Husky AU
