    Don't know who she was, thought it was Leslie at first, but not too sure..

    More Pics to come, but it takes time to Scan, Crop & resize them for the Forum.

    I use trademe to resize pics. Load them to an auction, and don't start the option.

    Ohakea 1987 - the Aftermath . . . Chris Sayle and Len.
    Broken Ribs, broken Wrists, squashed Nuts, bent Forks, bent Rim and buggered Frame.
    And you should have seen the dent in the back of Chris's Tank!
    All in a days racing.
    Looks like the guy in pic 1 is takeing a piss on the bloke on the stretcher.

    Pete Sales on the Onda. I think Ram, And there's Yak Knight. Oh dear and Ann-Marie and some long aired oik spectating in the background.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

The Honda was Jason Fletcher's later Tonto's. I was in Oz by then but he rode it at Wanganui and impressed a few from all accounts.

    I just double checked and it still has the low pipe on it. The CDI was triggered from the original points and the rotor was removed and a battery was fitted to run the ignition. The ignition could easily throw a 10mm big fat spark, probably a bit over the top but it never fouled a plug.

    I thought that looked like Pete on the Honda. He had a cam chain failure one year about 50m from the finish line and I just pipped him for 3rd I think it was as he coasted over the line.

    Def bikes and riders I remember. Dave D in considerably better condition leathers than when I owned them.

    Hmm, Ram I think. That sales guy from Honda. Others I can't name.

    got pics near scanner today but ran out of time.

    This is just what I wanted to start, Names, Dates, Venues, Stories & "where the hell are they now"?

    As for that "Long Haired Oik", the Lawn Mower probably got 'im!


    BTW, who was the woman with 'im?

    At the time an impressionable 18yr old redhead. Unfortunately over time my eating habits and build your own pizza night left rather an impression
