Looks like Dinsdale cleaned up on a Honda in 92 after Bultaco the year before..
I recognize a few of these bikes from the 93 Kembla nats.

Mick honda, well I don`t know who owned the cheney /triumph. I was racing that weekend. it was a great Australian Vintage Title. one day I may have that chance again to ride at a title.
its the atmosphere of the whole weekend and seeing what bikes people bring to ride and show them off, its a  good.

Great historic shots, but not all from 1992.
282 is Doug Aitchison's 650 Cheney Triumph which I don't think competed until Cherabah Qld
40 is Vern Graysons 500 Cheney Triumph, first Nationals Tanunda 1995.
I made the red and black tent behind Vern's bike after 1996

Simple.. There weren't as many forkwits in the sport back then
