Certainly did, loved growing up in that era in a very ethnic campsie, probably why now i have such a desire for foreign foods, 70 % of my school/ footy mates back then were either greek maltese italian croatian/yugos lebanese chinese with polynesian and kiwi, most of their mums or nonnas which fed me, eh your so skinny you must eat, eat.

My progression through the CC's, the fear was palatable every time I swung the leg over a new one.

Started out with an XL 175 and did a lot of trials riding through Back Yamma forest outside of town.

Swapped to Suzuki and started motor cross, upscaled from the RM125, through the 250 to this beast.

1 dislocated shoulder, two dislocated knees, broken fingers, three broken wrists, it was so much fun.

Paying for it now though, if I tried to throw a leg over a rig I'd strain at least 4 things.
We all had 175s with 210 kits in them for a while they were the go, i personally started on a c90 then progressed dt250e,xl175, dt400e ,cr125, xr500 ,RD350LC ,CB500K ,HondaCX500 turbo Currently have XJ900F and the cb500k
