Stan, any chance that you have a program for the State Titles in those years (75/76). I think that SA introduced the Series concept for the first time in 77 with the top 6 getting entry to the Hang Ten Australian Championships   

How is it that you have such a good knowledge of the events in SA?  Did you come over to ride often?

Does any-one remember an overseas rider named Morris??  (That sounds Welsh/Irish enough to me).

Hi Chris, I wasn't able to find either programs for 75 or 76 but I did find this clipping from the 75 South Aussie titles.

I remember the '76 Aust titles were held at ACUSA park and sponsored by Hang Ten. we had to wear bibs with Hang Ten on them and I still have mine (and Verns).

Stan, many thanks.  So, it was '75.  And thanks for solving the over-seas riddle! I thought it was an Irish rider.

Now, what happened in '76?  I seem to have lost a year? (And my drinking days were somewhat behind me and a long way in front of me back then  ).

The first time I sat on a Yamaha MX bike was 1978, so some-one was really taking notice  .

EML, the Oz titles at ACUSA Park were in 1977.

In the latest issue of Classic Dirt Bike Vic Allen says some very complementary things about the Pursang that Bert Flood prepared for him when he raced here. Saw him at Wallan. He was quick and smooth. Very professional. Jerry

Was it Malcom Dearne? Jerry

Hey Stan Vic Allen is coming over for the WAVMX meeting. Maybe you can get your throttle back. Jerry

Des Morris from Ireland.....whatever became?

[EML]

Des Morris played League for Aust Firko, not bad at it if it means anything.
BTW those All Blacks are playing well-getting set for another choke next year I guess.

Des Morris played League for Aust Firko]

Except he was a Queenslander.

[EML]

I hoped you would remember that as I'm sure he had to play for NSW back before State of Origin when Qld took full control of the box heads game.

[firko]

Didn't know about his early career as an Irish motocrosser though.

[VMX247]

He was quick and smooth. Very professional.

and this hasn't changed,the overseas riders are like watching old classic mx footage ,using every smooth line of the track available,beautiful and fluid to watch.

It's actually because they are so quick that they are smooth not the other way around. Try telling your brain that when you race
