@Exige @Robarano Are you two quite finished talking to yourselves? You can see @saddleonup by the quality of that little interchange how the Australian form of expression has much to give on here. Still, with the sun not getting up until 8am and setting at 4pm with crap weather in between it's no wonder they are a bit (like kiwis) "not right".
Whilst this photo is before both your time in racing and certainly mine, i wonder whether it rings any bells with you and the guys in it (I have a list somewhere). I believe it is of the first Aust superbike race, Amaroo Park, July 1, 1973.
Hmmm, I thought I was just posting a welcome greeting in the newbe's section as suggested. Now I'm all embarrassed that I said so much about myself ! hahaha Oh well lucky I'm 1000's of km's away from all of you. so I guess it don't really matter does it ? Or maybe you can all put it down to, I just have one too many Kangaroo's jumping around in my top paddock. Thanks for making me feel welcome guy's.
