John  I thought we were talking about Maleny.  My clearest memory (now not then) was the Maleny pub Saturday night.

My other clear memory about Maleny, was making sure I got out first in practice.  Why you might ask.  So I could spray all the other riders with cow shit.

Come on Noel wouldn't do something like that, he was as sober and dedicated back then as he is now.

I remember him and Dave Wilson coming up to me at riders briefing at Mountain Man one year (probably 1977) and asking my if I would like a nip of rum.  Noel had a bottle of Bundy and offered me a cap full.  I said no thanks.  They said if they couldn't win sober they would try another way.

I don't remember that, but I do remember him running out of fuel in the third moto of the QLD 500 Championship at Maleny in 1976.  He got fuel for a bike stopped on the side of the track and finished the race.  He finished 2nd in the championship I finished 3rd.

Thanks Barry.  Note the Gaston Rahier laid back handle bars.  Everyone thought it made you go faster, but Gaston had them like that because he was a short arse.
