Great footage Pinchy, nice find mate....
If only we could find some footage of Hansford v Willing back in 1974? 75 - one of the greatest Australian GP's ever, with both of them doing enormous wheelies over the second hump on Conrod.......just awesome.
Smitty - you reckon he left the ground for 100m ???

Andrew Johnson on the 500 Honda in about '83 - incredible through McPhilamy and Reid Park. I nearly shit myself everytime he came past, awesome, awesome motorcycle riding.
