I got my bitch session penned in and a reply back ages ago..all taken on board they assured me Wombat  ;) Ive got the TM125 to come in under the limit, the RMS is a little noisier but I'm working on that too..it has to be possible..my inkling on this issue is they (MA) ain't gonna budge and the restrictions will stay..if not this year next year so to work on getting the bikes to comply now makes perfect sense  ;)

Oh and lets not forget that Ken Smith is available for the legends laps if there is enough interest.
In fact he is going up to MX Central tomorrow to get some early practice in.

Come on guys if you want to see him with the legends let us know. He will be easy to spot [even without his name on the back of his jersey]. Joel won't know what hit him!!

Who's interested??????

Yes Jeff, I will be easy to spot, I'll be the one waving them off.  The only reason I'd be venturing onto the track while Joel is out there, would be to hand him a beer after the second or third lap, in case he was feeling a bit thirsty.

I told Joel last night that there'll be two other guys out riding in Legends Laps who raced against him in Oz in '72 and he thought that was pretty cool.

I think the guys who organise this event should be doing legends laps themselves!

Forgive me for sounding like a stuck record but i notice jeff leisk is not on the legends list, is this because he cannot attend,  does not want to attend or not invited because he is "to new a rider".   You probably will notice i am/was a big leisk fan. What he did going to the USA then to europe takes balls. Anyone remember Holland 89 ?, first 500GP .Leisk went off like a scolded cat only to run out of fuel on the last lap.

my guess is that as Head man of KTM Australia his work commitments will not allow the time.

I'll bring my 125X, my 125C (hopefully), and my 125D (maybe).
If the DT125A is half as funny/scary as Uncle Lozza is promising/threatening, and I have the space, then I'd like to bring it too.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

my little mx125a bundle of fun will also be in attendance,
no need to be too concerned DJ, your little noguci will be in good company.
and along with my RT1, so i'll be pretty busy in the pre 78 ride sessions.

 It's getting bigger.... and DJ, your E4 helmet will comply. As a basis, scrutineers will be looking for AS1698, the Australian Standards sticker; just refer them to Appendix 1 in the Manual of Motorcycle Sport which has a helmet equivalency table. That's right son, to ride an mxer in Oz, you'd better be up to scratch on the dreaded PAPERWORK....

Dave, you can rest assured that Jeff Leisk is most definitely on the list of Legends who is invited.  This year, we understand that he was extremely tempted to come along, but work and family commitments have prevented his attendance.  :'(

We even sent Magoo over to the west to try and implore him to come, but unfortunately it's not going to happen for CD5.

He is a true Aussie legend of MX of course and we would really love to see him at CD6...  we shall keep trying to get him to come along. ;)
