Andrew McFarlane Photo Tribute

RIP Andrew

This is really horrible news to hear, Andrew was a legend! I remember seeing him at Culham in the UK a while back now.

2007 Glen Helen

Southwick, 2006.

Good shots, thanks guys!

RIP Sharky

Circa 1991 KX80 No3

I would love to see some pictures fo the 2000 (I think) 500 gp at broadford where he rode a KX500, and put Australian motocross back on the map.

That race lauched the international carrers of himself, byrne and reed, and all those who have followed them from Australia.

Or picture from 1998 or 99 (again I think it was that year) where he rode a shop supported star yamaha after everyone had written him off, and he came out and won Aus the SX and MX championships

Prayers and best wishes for comfort and consolation for Andrew's family and friends. What a tragedy. It was a privilege to watch him race, and to experience him interacting with those of us who follow the races. It can only be more of a privilege for those of you who were close to him. Andrew was the kind of person who honored the sport by being himself. I am so sorry for your loss. Grace and mercy to all of you.

God speed Andrew, Ill always be a fan!

They would be awesome!

Leading the world in 2000...
The turning point in Australian motocross

A couple from the 2009 MX Nationals in Australia including a Pre race promotion before the final round at Coolum last year. I have always be a Mcfarlane fan, watching from a far while he raced the Euros at the World GPs then on to the USA, to race the AMA.

It was a great day when i seen him in Adelaide for a round of SuperX, pitting out the back by himself out of a Van, I remember how i bumbled and bobbled my way to ask him for an Autograph.

I have been lucky enough to follow the Aus MX nationals the last two years, heading to every event and seeing him ride, and getting the chance to take photos of him. I breifly got to speak to Andrew at the last round at Canberra, again i was nervous just apporching him, but he was great and i organised to do an Interview, which we had planned to do on the weekend, i was going to get the chance to interview a racer i had admired for so long. we didnt get to do the interview on the saturday, put we were all good to go on Sunday after practice.

I still am finding it hard to belive what has happened, i had just posted his lap time from the lap before, and a few hours later we get the worse news i have ever recived at a race meeting. It still does not feel real, i know it is but i dont want to belive it.

My thoughts are with his Wife his daughter, his family and all of his close friends, He was an Australian sporting hero that will never be forgotten, he helped put Australian motocross on the map, and opened doors for many more Australian riders to get opportunities racing world GPs. R.I.P Andrew Mc Farlane

Nice work everyone on the photos!
Prayers and condolences to family & friends.
