Wouldn't have a clue, though the colours on rider 1 appear to be from the old Villawood club (Sydney?).  Some riders from that club visited Mackay in 69 to race in Mackay, so that may be where the photo originated.

I am loving thes pics. Just about all are way before me (71 model). 1 thing I have noticed that is realy sad is that club days these day are more serious than world titles were.

Im in the same boat mate, love the old photos, everyone just oozes fun!
I look at dads photos and just wish we were in that era where you didn't need to refinance your parents home, sell off your investments and have a motor home just to go racing and look the part ::)
I do love the modern racing and go to the Aussie titles when they hit town to support the sport,see the big boys and to see how the local lads stack up, but cant handle the bull shit that goes with some of the younger blokes that seem to be more worried about what they look like than what they perform like..
Just my opinion.
Maico's, the only way to go.

Hey guys these pics are so fantastic to look at, they take me back like it was yesterday, please keep them coming.  I started racing in 1974 in sub-juniors on a TM125 in Frankston club, I am an A grade Superbike racer now on a GSXR1000, god I wish I could go back in time, this all brings a tear to my eye.
