Leisk and Gall we like a religious figures to me back in the day ! I have to get their autographs on my race plate one day so that my life will be complete. I was 17 when this race was held...

I was so star stuck by him that l walked up to him and said.. "How are ya goin Geoff ?" He said back.. "Good mate.. How are you ?" All l said was.. "Good" and then l walked away... One of the best moments of my life !! lol

@@mattpreacher4634 I can't forget Dack , Armstrong and especially Peter Melton that used to train on my Dads apprentice's home track when he was still with Gaythorne Yamaha then Marlboro Yamaha back then. He gave me his salad roll one day when he was training me and rode my KX80, then set it up better for me. I still tell those willing to listen that he gave me his lunch one day ! RIP Peter Melton 😥
