Title: Vale Bertrand Cadart
Post by: ruSTynutz on April 10, 2020, 11:19:58 PM

Sad to hear of the passing of Bertrand "The Frog" Cadart today...

You may remember he played "Clunk" in the original "Mad Max" movie.
He was also the owner of the "La Parisienne" motorcycle fairing business back in the late 70's & 80's.
He also had the Australian distributorship of Fournales shock absorbers.
In later life he was the Mayor of Bicheno in Tasmania and became quite famous for having a Honda Silver Wing scooter as his mayoral transport.
Family and health reasons dictated a move to Queensland in recent times where he sadly passed away today...  Wot thuh

Sad to hear of the passing of a real character of the Aussie motorcycling scene.

I remember seeing the TV article about him and his scooter.

Age is claiming far too many of our contemporaries.  Sorry to lose another bike aficionado.
