Gday Toolboy, I rode against Chris many times he was a great rider.

I watched him race many times at Barrabool, Broadford, Christmas Hill, then he changed to Road Racing in the late 70's i think.

He said MX was battering his body too much, he did ok on the road too..

His brother David had an Ossa at the time but i dont think he raced???

Cheers

He Tim do you know what Chris is up to nowadays? Used to spend quite a bit of ime with im in the Mooralbark garage playing darts if we wern't practising at Coldsteam tip. We were both in C-grade then B-Grade with ou maicos, before Chris went big time in the roadracin. I got Chris and I copies made of the USA style Belray Maico jumpers, caused we looked the same we got pride of place in a Pollywaffle TV ad done at Christmas Hills through the Hartwell club. Big Pommy connection out that way in Melb, my Dad was a Scot, so the Dads used to probably reminise about he old country at the race meets.Sam Skillng and the Trollopes were also out that way. Noticed in he progam I'd gotten ridden of the evil KTM sachs wonder box(great handling pity about the gearox) and now had the tusty elsinore, like every other self respecting sub junior.

Rosco,

I have not seen nor heard about Chris in over 30yrs.
But i was his biggest fan when he rode MX, i always remember the Maico he had.
Im suprised to see that he rode a Suzuki.
