Mediumspoon,
If you bought a motomag from Toowoomba it was probably from a mate of mine, Glen. You do know me though, I bought some bars and some spoke nipples from you.

Hey Prosight,
Can you send me details for the swap meets and shows? I'll post them on
www.bmxultra.com (Aussie BMX site).
Also, I have been to Glenroy Cycles (Melbourne) taking some photos of the old school gear down there, should have it on the site soon. We're talking Hutch, Titan, Skyway, Profile, Mongoose, Redline, and a bunch of other old and rare stuff.

Hi Mick from Brisbane here.
Hey to Aussierampar. I know Glen he has provided me with lots of old school gear. I also asked Glen to arrange an old school race (for fun) when you guys have the state champs later this year.
Have you seen Glen's tuff's ???
He has plenty.
I just found out how to refurb them and remove old paint.

The most exciting thing i have seen in WA- old school bmx, would be a 26" Quicksilver frame, I didnt know they even did a 26"
Most of my stuff has come from over east or overseas. There is very little in local stores and the one shop that is stacked, the bloke is an eccentric old american guy (could be canadian, i didnt hang round long enough to find out) that thinks the stuff is worth more than its weight in gold,

How do ya da, mate? I got auntie who lives with his 4 sons in Geraldton, Perth (went there 2 times) and I'm planning to visit my bro younger in June this year. My younger bro just moved to Melbourne last March. I can't remember his place name but it's about 30-40 minutes drive from Melbourne airport. He told me there's a bmx track near his place.

Do any of you Aussies remember Mike Figliomeni? He came up from Australia in 1980 or 1981 and stayed in So. Cal. for most of the year. Raced at Orange -Y alot. I believe he was a Diamond Back support team rider. Cool guy. Parks (MIke Franze) and I used to hang out with him alot.

Kevin Harlow, i *know of* the infamous Figliomeni brothers from South Aussie, i think Michael and Andrew were the 2 older riders, and superfast.
The 2 younger bro's also dominated their age groups too, something speedy in those family genes. ;-)

Hey guys, good to see so many Aussies coming out of the woodwork! Soon we might be able to get a national get together happening!
I'm still on the hunt for a Quicksilver 26", then i'll have them all! - i've got Kos Kruisers to trade! And i've got Quicksilver sticker sets if anyones after some.
Hey Melbourne guys - looks like i'll be celebrating my birthday on May 6 at the Espy hotel, which means i might be able to make the swap meet on the 8th !
