No cross brace padding and no full face helmets, I wonder how many teeth were lost in that race? Title: Re: Desert racing 1967 style Post by: Alwr on August 26, 2013, 09,39:12 AM Very cool Nath.

As far as a helicopter goes, i think i will just buy a drone from ebay mount the controls to the bars and get the aerial shots that way, so no need for a helicopter Everyone who lost teeth in that race now barraks for collingwood!

Quote of the show: "If you're thirsty, grab a quick drink of water!"......YA THINK! 4. Chalk course markings, good for the first 8 riders, then it's anyone's' guess! 5. These guys are NUTS! Thanks Nath, that's a ripper! Title: Re: Desert racing 1967 style Post by: DarrenD on August 27, 2013, 03,25:26 AM What Serge said!!
Also what about the wimp who wore shoulder pads? Seriously a couple of broken bones and they turn into pu55ies. And only 250 of the 800 riders left at the half way mark! They must have gone to the Seano school of bike maintenance. Title: Re: Desert racing 1967 style Post by: nathanstott on August 27, 2013, 03,44:11 AM i love the pit stop where they are refuelling a bike, someones standing there with a lit cigarette, once the bikes full they shove the cigarette in the riders mouth, and off he rides having a smoke!!
