Anyone get a picture of Keith Davies riding his bike?

Anyone get a picture of the Guzzi V8 with its fairing off?

Excuse my ignorance but who is Keith Davies?

I never saw the V8 there without the fairing but found this pic on ADV


Here's one I took



and a few more

85' Husky TE510, 83' XR250R, 76' DT400C, 81' XL500S, 85' XL250R, 80' XT250, 82' XT200.
Hmmm, What should I buy next?
In case you were wondering it was an 85' CR250R. Then a 76' DT250 and a 01' XR250 and it didn't stop there

There is a pic of K.D. doing a parade lap on Oz Classic Dirt Track. I have a pic of the naked Guzzi on my email.
Thanks to Rick Wason and the crew for putting this thing together. Thanks to Pete and Jackie for coming down to show us the
beautiful Yammie twin flattracker. It was a great event full of highlights. Watto in full flight at Broadford is sight to behold.
Just a great weekend of classic dirt. Looking forward to next year.
regards Mark

You are right you can't spell for shit.


MOTOCROSS  has only got one 'R"  it comes from the French word

MOTOCROSSE  Moto for motorcycle and Crosse for cross country.

Also word may change it to be spelt incorrectly so don't rely on spell check.

He can spell good enough to get a job. If you are such a good communicator why don't you have a job Kevvy?

I thought my job is annoying you.

Thanks But I Do warn you all .....

Add lest  my Grammar was good  ..Hay  Kevin  :D

Thanks I wasn't really just correctly your spelling, I was pointing out the word that means a lot to myself and others was spelt wrong. 

That was why I not only corrected it but I stated why it was wrong.

Let the further insults begin.

Holy timing nightmare Robin. I have nothing but admiration for this piece of exotica, but why they would choose to use 8 sets of points over two sets with two distributors is beyond me. I'm sure there would be a good reason for it though...

Just wondering if anyone knows where I might find some more photo's from the dirt tracks. Just like last year SD pics was out taking photo's of the road bike circuit but once again I don't seem to be able to find anything much from the MX track, flat track (other than the spectacular) or either of the Vinduro tracks even though there seemed to be a lot of people with fancy looking camera's propped on many of the corners taking pics.
So where are they all?
85' Husky TE510, 83' XR250R, 76' DT400C, 81' XL500S, 85' XL250R, 80' XT250, 82' XT200.
Hmmm, What should I buy next?

Plenty of the dirt tarck on here.https://fotenx.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Broadford/2016-Broadford-Bike-Bonanza/i-nSCqtGF

Now that is what I am talking about. Great work and very nice pics.  ;D particularly the shots of the side cars they really captured how hard the passenger works when tearing around the track.
I went through all of them and even managed to find some pics of me in there and while my riding didn't look that impressive it was my first ever outing on the flat track so it was good to see some pics that at least prove I was there and had a crack. Of all the tracks I did at Broadford this year I had the most fun on the flat track so I can't wait until next year to try it out again. Now that I know what to expect all I need to do is decide which of my bikes will be best suited to it so I can really have some fun.
Here's a couple of the ones I found of me




And here is what I am talking about with regard to the side cars


NOW all I need to do is find some from the MX and natural terrain hill tracks  :)

Now that does sound interesting but I am busy this weekend. Admittedly we have a track here in Albury as well so I might have to go and try it out one day.
85' Husky TE510, 83' XR250R, 76' DT400C, 81' XL500S, 85' XL250R, 80' XT250, 82' XT200.
