Don't ask me how to ride a bike or change a gear. I have sat on a couple but never ridden one. My adrenalin rush came from taking photos of the guys/gals racing them up close and personal.

Hi guys,

Yep, John Behrens doing what he does best...scarring the crap out of photographers

There is whole lot more pics in "All Albums" along with descriptions.

It's under my name Peter Kitchingman

Here's another to wet your appetite

John Behrens was one of those riders who was better than just about anyone on his day but for the Achilles heal of his being so hard on his bikes. Behrens was the best jumper of his era and I well remember him taking out the Golden Breed banner over the start finish jump at Jilliby Park in 1975....the same meeting that Frenchman Michel Combes flogged everyone on a works Montesa.
I recently saw John and he still looks fit enough to race......but isn't interested.

Darn ! That's a shame, he was a real crowd-pleaser...especially around Amaroo.

Firco, I remember that as well as Jilliby had a jump coming out of the dam just before the finish line. Will have to dig up the pics from Jilliby as I think I may have that shot. Jilliby was one of my favourite tracks and had a bit of everything.

This pic was taken at the 1975 International meet at Amaroo Park in November in which Gaston Rahier attended. #B on a Suzuki I think it was one of Gaston’s buddies from Belgium but not sure so if someone has a program from that meet would love a copy of the riders list as I have about 10 rolls of negs to name.

Still chasing a p/copy of the program from that meet so I can identify the 2500 pics I took on that day.
