I think there is footage of him on youtube at one of the early eighties supercross's at Sydney. Monoing around the track!

I was there, sitting right above the two semi flat decks they used to get in the grandstand with a nice 180 degree berm at the top.

Doug did the entire track on the back wheel. So, not to be outdone, the bobcat operator did it as well!!! Awesome

What bike is that? Looks like an '83 cr250, but there is a rear loop ( to put his foot on?) and looks white in colour. The rear brake stay isn't right for an '83 either.

DD was amazing to watch. I remember seeing him go for a record at Rosehill race course on a TS250X suzuki with a powered front wheel. He missed the record but still managed about 30 laps!

I also have a vague recollection of the late Dale Buggins challenging DD to a wheelie contest OVER the Harbour bridge. DD declined....

Are you sure that it was DD at Rosehill Racecourse???
I am sure it was a certain Beetle Bailey on my TS250X trying to set the new Australian Distance Wheelie Record.

My memory was Beatle Bailey on a TS 250x but the wind picked up and hindered his effort. Thought it was the motorcycle expo at Canterbury race course tho'

Yep that looks like a 1983 250 RD to me.

Yes I remember that. I raced in that meet. At the time I was friends with a Revs Magazine writer who was one of the organizers of Doug wheelying across the Harbour Bridge. I was driving one of the cars that drove behind and in front of him to keep the other traffic at a distance. Amazing to watch.

I sit corrected gents.... It was indeed Beetle Bailey and it was at Canterbury race course.....

Ahh the joys of a mis spent youth!

I was pretty impressed with this add as a 14 year old in 1974. I was lucky enough to buy a brand new M1 Elsinore in 1975 and all I wanted to do was emulate this photo. I think the rider is Brian Martin.
