Hi just sitting here on Easter Monday after a great family weekend I saw the post, all comments are true , the most I do agree on is you will always remember the era you first rode MX. For me I am 50 years old, lived in Roselands NSW while at school I had the disused brick pits at Kingsgrove after the mini bike club left , the paddocks from Kingsgrove to Salt Pan Creek Riverwood now the M5 , also Bland Oval , the legend of Menai , Kurnell sand hills yes there was once Hills there of sand. Near Liverpool Speedway went there once also. I even rode around the bottom of the Mountains now the built out suburb of Emu Plans when I visited family friends , bike always went in the trailor or the back of my friends mum's EH wagon ( could fit 3 80cc bikes with tail gate down ) later teenage years went to Hungry Creek , Black Put gully MX parks. Also when I was at the tracks I would also talk to other riders & ask if they know of other places to ride. Was in the local mini bike club near Wyong for 2 years now the extension of the Newcastle Highway. Many local bike shops , Beverly Hills , Bexley , Hurstville all gone. The magazines the brochure hunts at the bike shops. I lived & breathed dirt bikes. I sometimes look at the shed and bikes I own from the era and think how good it was to run home from school get the bike out and ride. Today where can I go for a quick ride
Appin ?? I am sure most people my age or bit older will remember the area you lived in before it got built out & the LAWS just got harder & costly. So was this the great era of Dirt Bikes ? Anyway happy Easter.
