Michel and Gary O'Brien would have been riding some 'special' bikes whilst Michel was over here. Here's a note from Modesto Sole (Export director) about those bikes to Lyall.

My memories getting a bit blurred these days but I seem to remember Michel Coombs welding his frame together between races. Cheers Jerry

jERRY YOU MAY BE RIGHT, AS THE MONTESA va 125 001, was cracking up a bit, that same bike got 3rd at a world title in that same year.

Thanks David. I was at that meeting. I think I travelled down with Chris Oldfield. I raced there once I think in 1975 on a Ossa Phantom. I wonder does Stan have the program for that one? Jerry

He was indeed a nice bloke as well as being blindingly fast. Unfortunately he was also (to quote The Life of Brian) a very naughty boy. Something to do with cocaine I believe.

I never knew that Mike Landman was a member of Frankston back then (i've been on and off...more off )
I also see a very young Neil Crompton in there as well.
Was Devon Meadows a popular track/club as i didn't know it existed until a few years ago and remember hearing that Neil was/could have been a member there as well.
Sorry Stan......but good to see some programs before my time...not that i ever raced MX.
Cheers...Mario
