If bikes didn't evolve past these bikes, I'd still be happy. They were and still are a blast!!!!

Thanks Tony, i spent 11 years of my life at Amaroo. What fantastic years of Motorcycle racing, the girls & the beer. When it was stinking hot, we would cross the course between the bikes to cool off in Cattai CK, ( Pissed off the Marshals.) Then, when it rained, ( many years,) we found a cave above Rothmans corner, & would get a fire going, & charge people a joint or a beer to come in out of the wet for 10 minutes at a time. The Gypsy Jokers used to set up near turn 2, they were an amusement. We cannot relive our lives, but we sure as can revisit them thanks to people like you. As a matter of fact, i don't ever remember the ABC televising motorcycle racing back then. Again, Thanks mate.

Yea mate , the ABC did Telecast it to the rest of Oz in those days , we’d do pub crawls around Perth on bikes watching it in between Pubs during Sunday Sessions . crazy times but sounds like you blokes were right in the middle of the whole thing.

Thanks for putting this on Tony as this is the first time I have ever seen some video of my racing career. A bit egotistical I know but after 42 years its good to be able to relive some of the moments. I can correct the views of the Moto Guzzi team as I did not make contact during the pass but the sudden appearance of a BMW rocker cover at close quarters in a difficult passing area probably caused the upset.

Hi Joe. Hope you are keeping well and still have the cx500. I had the CX650 in Hervey Bay. Have a RE Interceptor now. Great to see the old footage. Hope you still have the Suzuki 350. Cheers Ian

Used to be a few prangs. Pity about the Duke, Guzzi and RD400. All great bikes. My brother had an R100S, exactly the same as Dahne. Scraping the cylinders off always bothered me.
