With the
AMTRA 50thAnniversary coming up and viewing a few of Ken Robinson’s old pics, I was prompted to revisit the home archive and 500 odd Agfa/Kodak slides! So here we go....This article from the Australian Motorcycle News , June
1973, reports on the AMTRA Walhalla Enduro. The Walhalla Enduro was one of the club’s first with the ascent of Trig Track, an unrelenting, loose, rocky steep hill creating some havoc and an epic. (TrigTrack since realigned). David Baxter in left pic at a checkpoint was a club stalwart and on right Lee Bradstreet, founding member, Club Captain, life member (and a bloody good rider!) are both riding Yamaha RT2 360s. John Burrows, mentioned in the text, went on to ride in the ISDT on an Ossa 250 SDR for a bronze medal in Dalton, Massachusetts in September that year. This was significant as it was, I believe, a first medal for an Australian at the ISDT. (There may have been another team/entrants in late 50’s...need to check).
ps My posting of images in the Forum is in early days, getting there, thanks Serge! (this one didn't scan that clearly) To be continued, I hope!
