I can't decide which is my most treasured.
This one is one of them.
Trail riding at Kobble Creek North of Brisbane in 1979 we were having a break and found a dead snake which is what I am holding in my right hand. The bloke with the zif is John Zordan. Its funny cos I am wearing the Kawasaki shirt and he was the Kawasaki nut - although I think he might have still been riding a hotted-up XL185 at the time (before the KLX250 came out).


Any chance you could find that photo again Feet up as I used to ride up there with Zordo to. :)
Now that I,ve thought about it I,ve realized that the dust you can see in my avitar is from zordo trying out a brand new KDX 200 or 175  with me chasing him. :)

Well I know there is a lot of nostalgia for AE Huskys at the moment, riding it was an experience, not always pleasant, but frankly the KTM350 I replaced it with could wipe the floor with it. Later I was back on WR250 and that was also awesome bike, I just had probalms with the auto.

Dad on his IT400C back in 1976 - His first real enduro bike (after riding enduros on RT's and DT's) - Hence my love of the bikes - I remember his excitment before it arrived, I couldn't help but get caught up in it too...   ;D

Bazza, here's the other photo that goes with the first


I've got a TS90MX and I'd like to replicate that photo one day, trouble is I don't like my chances of getting either the Tee shirt or the waistline again!
I used to ride with Luke Boyle for a while before he passed away. A very talented rider.
The older I get, the faster I was

Mike I have just seen this posting of yours about John Zordan. Coincidentally I found John on Facebook yesterday and have sent a friend request.

Hard to choose a single photo, so here are a few of mine;

My daughter (C: 1994) having her first riding lesson when she was 10, and OH, how much trouble I was in when her mother found out!


The daughter several years later, on my TT500C, and OH how much trouble I was in when she crashed it and I was more worried about the broken rear guard and bent handle bars (both original parts)


Myself after DNF'ing a 250km enduro on my 1969 Triumph (Yamaha RT1 front end) in about 1977(?). The bike caught fire when a fuel line came off and the fuel was ignited by the "really cool" flames that used to shoot out of the exhausts on a trailing throttle!


Another DNF picture, this time the first 4 Day enduro at Cessnock in 1978.



And finally, me as a winner in the Pre-84 class at the 2010 River Murray 6Hr reliability trial onboard my 1979 AG175

Why do things the easy way, when with a bit of effort you can really make it difficult for yourself!!
