Fantastic to see some of the legends yesterday.  The 465 mount of Gally was also not a bad look.....  Un fortunate about Joel.  He spoke with us afterwards and was in good spirits.  I have a bunch of photos that I will post to later, including closeups while JR was still on the bike.

Hey,  There is a another legends ride this arvo, so maybe this thread will require some more hard disk space!!

Fantastic event.  Not a lot of bikes for sale,  but good parts.  I sold some old forks and exhaust,  which paid for petrol,  ride fee and incidentals.  Will report more later.  The tributes will undoubtable roll in over the next 2 nights from all.  Very well organised.  Early ups to VMX-MAG.

One of the best late editions,  was the VMX Name Badges,  sugested by some legend.  Great to see some of the people who we sometimes only contact or see online through this forum.,

Hi andrew,  I don't want to start a massacre here with the other attendees,  because this is essentially a great ocassion for us to just witness a point in history,  but in support,  you probably are correct.  My memory is terminally bad,  at the best of times,  so please correct me.  At least 2 riders had passed Joel Robert befoe the crash?  I think it would have been more respectful and better for the media if no passing in the first lap and Joel was able to complete at the front of the pack for all the fotos etc. 

No need to reply Andrew.  I really, really enjoyed yesterday,  and to see all these people,  legends and bikes from all over.

Where I come from, Gaston Rahier was the 70's star,  brought out by Suzi NZ,  and people came from miles away, at the time. 
Another small guy, 
another Belgiun. 
All money is not going to secure this one for CD6. 
(another legend).

Is there anyone at CD5 that is online????????

Hi Rosco
Great photo/

There is something about these short guys,  how they are positioned over the handle bars.  Jocky Like.
For me,  as a taller guy,  it is hard to get to that posn./

Yeah that was me Andrew,  I reckon it was just one of those things, Joel was going slow and was huggin the front brake, Per really didnt have nowhere to go because he had bikes either side of him, just glad neither of them got hurt, sure theyve seen and been in worse situations, give Joel & Per something to talk about at CD6 ::) Besides, Per was riding a MAICO so it could not have been his fault :-X

Its all good Tim...

Nathan kicked it up and we had her running. Tm Bill, oldfart and Nathan were all willing to take her out on the track but she just wasnt ready, we were all busy doing other things didnt get time to much around with it so she never got on to the track for a run. I will play with it in few weeks see how she goes.  
Those XR75 forks are still in ute mate I didnt notice until unloading tonight. Hope your happy with the TM..
