Unconfirmed but the latest I have is that:
Rod Scale (Vic) Honda 450R beats the Finke Master Rick Beer (DS650).
Smithy makes the front page of a Darwin newspaper with a spectacular crash on the Suzi. |

I just got home I love this race and hate it at the same time. This photo was on the front page of the Dawin paper. I hit the poor block in top cog and i didn't feel so good after that but I was at fault

Hey smitty, about those steering stems. Isn't the ratio now 3 different LTR450's you have ridden and you have bent the stem on every one of them, you even went all the way over to the USA to bend one. Now lets see someone top that little record. P.S. if you have an LTR450, don't let Smitty anywhere near it.

Well actually I only have rolled one of my LT-R's but we pull the stem out of the good one and I crashed again and bent it too, so it has a bent stem and has never been crashed....... YET!!!!!!
