Tivoli 1976

Vaughn a RM250b is 77 and yes Stewart was riding a 250 by then but don't think he did in 76.

You are right. ( of course) If you look at the start shot with all those letters on the plates you will see the rider we are talking about on the l/h side of screen a couple back. Same style of rider... and colours.
Maybe it's Scott...as in Scott Noidea!!

It does look like Stewart and he would've been C grade 125 then so yes you may be right.
I can also see Alex Kidas and Ashley Keidge in that shot.

Stewart told me once he preferred the 250 over the 370. I do remember he would ride the 250 in unlimited. I could be wrong thou it is a long time ago.

[JohnnyO]

The same with the other Phil Thew riders Peter Boyle and Grant Macrae, they often rode a 250 in the open class.

I do remember the day Kec brought out the brand new KTM400 to Tivoli.....it took them all day to get it to fire...even though it had fuel, spark, compression and timing.....not sure what else it needed.
Like was said....it sure 'looked' FINE.

[Mike52]

Couple of years later at Nerang.
Have been told that this is Stewart McLaughlan.
Sure was quick.

[JohnnyO]

Yeah that's Stewart, from memory that was the Qld 500 title near Beaudesert.

I thought the Cs were the first to have the long front fork leg below the axle???

[Davey Crocket]

125B sonny, had the first under axle forks on a Suzuki.
