Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

In a thread a while back someone mentioned an incident where the winner of a race did a wheelstand and flipped there bike.
I found some pics in an old AMCN
It seems the person in question just won the 125 round and did a celebratory wheelie that went horribly wrong. The bike went over the crash barrier and then over the 2 mtr high spectator fence..

Can you name the rider.. ?

looks like a young Gibersook

Gos Mate i can see your porno collection but where's the bike mags

its *organised* into years (sort of).........

Library consists of ..........

REVS 1973 (black and white issues ) through to 1997/98?, whenever it was that they ceased producing them........about 90% of issues.

AMCN 1980 - present. Almost 100% ......

TWO WHEELS - 1968 - present. About 90% of all issued, lots of doubles (swap-meets )

VMX (Vintage MotorCross) - 100%

Heaps of other *smaller* runs (Cycle Torque, StreetBike, RAPID, other long-ceased Aussie bike mags - basically if it has been for sale in a newsagent since 1980, its in the collection somewhere........... )

Classic Motorcycle Mechanics - 100% from about 1990 onwards ( Great pommie mag for Jap bikes from 60's/70's/80's.)

A lot of early Cycle Guide's from the US ( mainly 60's and 70's.)

Its pretty scary when you actually start looking for something like what MadKaw has posted, as you could literally spend *days* looking for it !!!

Its a great reference library for sorting out eligibility requirements for Period 5 racing , and sorting out arguments about what was released when and by whom.......and drooling over old Kawasaki Super Four advertisments.........

Here is another wall.........most of these are bike-manuals or bike-related books ( a few others in there as well.) You can *just* see the REVS on the top shelf....(about 1/2 of them are up there... )

I know the face in that bloody photograph just can't pick the year, to narrow the search down to 20 or 30 mags only !!!

I reckon if you can sell all of those to the national archive you'll be able to buy another ZX12R.

wonder if he felt as bad as this fella and on a kwaka

not the one, he comes onto the main straight, stands up, looks between his legs and then starts to wheelie, flips it across the start line. it not even the end of the race

I can hear Gos now...

" Would you like to come upstairs and see my collection of bike mags?"


"Donut?"
