Great pics! Was Dargle as good to ride as it looks?
Good news that the track is being rebuilt for vmx racing this year..

Track was great, well worth the drive down from Bris. Even managed a trophy.

I'll have a wild-arsed guess that you rode in 40-45 on a 440 Maico

Your half correct. If I was 40 in 1991 how old would I be now?

err... I think I had better do the maths this time and say it must have been 30-35 (time flies when you are having fun)

The Husky 400 number 54 (now 554) was the first time I rode my fully restored bike.Straight out into the Dargle slop.I have ridden it ever since at VMX and Heaven events.
Can't wait to have another ride at Dargle,although looking at the first picture I seem to have found a special line at 90 degrees to the track,hmmm.This time I will try to spend more time on the track. lol.

That's me on my Maico closest to the camera. First MX meeting I had ever ridden but all those years of riding dirt track and speedway got me to the first corner in front every time. Things went backwards from there though....
