Plenty more to come....I've found 4000+ shots that I forgot I had.....mostly 60s/70s European stuff but a bit of Aussie as well. Does anyone know how to convert a tif file to jpeg? If I can work that out I've got some interesting Aussie stuff to upload.

Most of the generic 'photoshop' programs that come standard with the software package on your computer these days should be able to do it. I don't know if there's a way do convert multiple files at once, but individually, once you have a pic file open, select 'save as' from the File menu and there'll be a 'save as type' option at the bottom of the window where you can select a different format such as jpeg

Not as old as some of this stuff I know but talk of YZ 100's got me thinking of when there was a mass of them in the early eighties....



YZ 100 J



YZ 100 H



There was also a class just for these things. It started out as an XR 80 class and eventually became the XR 80/100 in a YZ 80 frame class. This kid would be skipping through the Monza Quads....



And here was my one and only venture into KTM's and Enduro. Both short-lived (but I wished I'd kept the helmet and pants) :'(...

Cool shot of Trevor Flood on the RM, i recall him riding several different brands in the space of 12 months or so...

Yes John, he rode Montesa, Suzuki and Maico which he won an Aussie title on, all within about 12 months I think.

Watching this bit of history, I wonder what happened to all those photos taken in the 60s & 70s - probably still in a box in the attic/garage with cockroaches munching away.  What a shame!
