Easter 2022 and I still long for the Bathurst Easter races, as an ageing motorcycle enthusiast looking back at a golden age of racing at the mountain, it was an annual pilgrimage for me and like-minded friends camping and being totally saturated in the experience. Philip Is is a great weekend adventure but nothing like Bathurst. Bathurst was Woodstock for the motorcycle enthusiast, love it, love it, love it..... If only .!!!
I was there...they were great times. Thanks for posting. I remember the guys cruising around with the cameras making this. We got our tent in one frame...Motorcyclists certainly paid a price for the few who stirred up the cops.... for years! This was also the last year you were able to ride around the track before 6am...So glad I had a go. Kawasaki Z1000 MKll.
great doco with a good mix of racing and crowd participation and now I feel my age when Bathurst was on I had the rest of the great state of NSW roads to play on as all the attention was in one condensed spot
Loved this film I started racing in 83 in Vic Rob Phillis, Andrew Johnson, Mal Campbell were regulars in Vic. Sad to see Mal lying on the track injured in this vid.
I love Damien Codognotto at 27:39. I 1st went to Bathurst in 85' when all the police harassment was over. The Police purposely went there to stir trouble.
