 Sad ending of an era.
 
Sorry to eee you go Dennis.

Was that Kingy's JAP Pancho? If it is there must be a lot more stuff coming up soon. I have a friend who's very interested in his Cole-Elstar.

His four valve JAP was there a few weeks ago.

I hounded Denis for years trying to weasel him out of his BSA Goldstar or even his B33 scrambler but all I ever got was his trademark smile and a polite shake of the head. The Goldie is especially relevent to history being the bike Blair Harley kicked a lot of arse on in the early to mid sixties......won a few motocross and dirt track titles on it. The old iron barreled bike was almost as pristine and, according to Kingy, just as fast as the Goldie.
Here's his 4V JAP at the Bathurst speedway museum.

the last time I saw Denis ride

[firko]

That's the old iron barreled Beeza I tried to get off the old bugger . I knew quite well he wouldn't part with it but it became our little game. That's a brilliant pre 60 class bike for both motocross and dirt track. I believe it started its racing career as a scrambler. Denis was a quiet old gentleman who loved his racing as shown in this shot, taken only weeks before he died. He must have been in some awful pain but he just kept racing right to the end.

I'm sure you weren't on your Pat there Firko.
At least one of Kingy's bikes have ended up in a museum, hopefully the others get the respect they deserve.

donno the last ride was at the penrith charity meet 2011 then about 2 weeks later "the gentleman" was give the news and that`s why we had the minute of respect on sunday 2012. nepean is a better place because of this man. no disrespect to lenny and co
