Australian Motocross Tragedy
« on: May 01, 2010, 08:15:05 PM »
Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know of the tragedy that occurred at the third round of the Australian Motocross Nationals. One of Australias greatest ever riders Andrew McFarlane was killed in practice at the Broadford track in Melbourne, Australia. Andrew competed both in the USA and on the World GP circuits with great success and was an ambassador for the sport. He helped put Australia on the map and showed the world that riders from down under had the speed and ability to compete successfully at an AMA and world GP level.  He will be greatly missed.

R.I.P Andrew McFarlane

You DECIDE !!
