I loved watching Dave do his thing on Grandstand in my youth. Great Suffolk accent and what a great bloke. From a fellow east Anglian.

Jean Robert was brilliant on Greeves, CZ, Puch and finally Suzuki I believe.

Saturday afternoons in the 60's was spent watching Grandstand, and hopefully it if was on, Scrambling, and it would be even better if Dave Bickers was riding. One of my boyhood heroes. My Dad managed to get hold a of 250cc Greaves scrambler, similar to the one that Dave rode. I had a go riding round a grass track once, and it scared the **** out of me !!

Grandstand 2 races in between horse racing .Always Dave Bickers .Murray Walker .commentating.

I met Dave in 1970 at an InterAm in Sacramento at White Rock MC Park where I was the sole full-time employee (with Claus Neilsen as InterAm coordinator). I was parked next to him in the pits with my CZ lined up next to his. I spoke with him about the British scene. He was a very friendly guy and one of the main riders I admired in those early years as he was always a rider in Edison Dye's InterAm exhibition series riding on the CZ team with Roger DeCoster and Joel Robert.

Whoever posted this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I went to the Hopetown races when I was a little kid and I've never forgotten the thrill of it.

I think it's a swizz - they were glued on.

That boat scene was from "The world is not enough" not "Octopussy".

Carry on moto x! Hahahah

Murray Walker's fatal predictions started early in his career!

We lived in Somerset in the 60s and dad and I would go to some race practically every weekend. A guy called Bryan (Badger) GOSS was our favourite. I got his autograph so many times that he actually knew my name. Great days and very exciting racing.

I remembered that when i saw it god makes me feel old .

When motocross was still motocross.

I love these old scrambles or motocross races. At the time you would have all of maybe three or four inches of shock travel. Unlike today when they can ride across railroad tracks so smoothly and easily with nineteen or more inches of shock travel.

Wher are the Sinisalo jackets and Scott goggles and KTM caps ? Serious now , great footage !!!

Brilliant film. Thank you! It Costs a King's ransom to compete these days, plus nimby complainers to contend with if any lads or girls trying to get some practice..& that's if you can find a place to do so.

No mention of the rickman bros...their 125 an 250s were hellish..no mention of maicos either🇺🇸🇬🇧😎✌️

At 3:40 love the posters on the wall ..... I would've loved to have been riding around the 60's

Oh ya ! I started racing in snow. Thanks!

Make England great again :(

Back when Dad with 2 kids could afford to race. Then came sponsorship and money ,like all sports. Now you can't even run without a $200 pair of shoes.

One shop has its walls covered in pornography! Classy guys! 😂😂😂

Now we have the leader of thay pack , yyou stupid KOEKKOEKS YYOU. It cost yyyyou 1 BILLION billekont dolhauses eh dollars. 🇷🇺🤗😊

Jolly good video old cock.

This is GOLD

We started just about everything but lost the cutting edge in just about everything after those damned ruinous wars!

great posters in the workshop

Hey kids, this is what racing was like when I was your age! No plastic fenders, electronic ignition or cartridge forks. We had cracked fiberglass, points and damper rods with big holes for compression and a small hole for rebound. Handlebars were mild steel without cross bars and not much stronger than conduit. Bending them back to their original shape was an art form.

Good fun......

I sure miss my 71 250cz!!!

How Id love to show up at that race with a bike & gear from today...

W F O

brilliant remember watching on tv black n white vic eastwood

Love the nudie posters on the wall at 3:30, nice!

@3:30 Dave Smith has some good artwork on the wall there 😅. Is that Sam Fox I can spy or is it way too early for her?

The glorious daze before Japanese domination🤗

OOPS! Wrong sound-track. These are stink-wheels not thumpers!

Since when did Greeves make 4 strokes?

Jason Bonham was another very good British motocrosser. Jason is the son of Led Zeppelin's drumming legend Jon Bonham. Since the age of 14, Jason has loved motocross. He was a factory rider who placed second in the British Junior National Championships, losing by only one point. "I won the last race of the season and my competitor had to come in 5th or better to place ahead of me in the Championship," Bonham recalls. "He was 8th on the last lap and three people crashed right in front of him allowing him to secure that last vital point."

Absolutely the best race

Worrying when you can remember this being broadcast.

A staple of Saturday afternoons, a man I really wanted to see win.

Dave Bickers was one of the best, well done also to Arthur Browning 🏆

He was in Apolda ( GDR ) " Am Tannengrund " to Grand Prix Race 250 ccm 1965, Winner P. Friedrichs, 2. Joel Robert and 3. Ake Jonson, Dave with Defect out......

a unforgotten Grand Prix.......i was there.......

Love watching this miss you dad

thank you..

The great dave Bickers !

Shockingly blurry!!!!!

A legend who I saw in his early days took event entries from him and it was a pleasure to know him.
