Feature: The Career Of Mat Mladin, Part One, MX to Tarmac

Mat Mladin built a career from scratch. The kid from Sydney’s South West was never going to be anything but the best… Words: Jeff Ware Photos: Mladin Archives & Heather Ware.

On March 10 1972, Carol & Mate Mladin welcomed Mat Mladin into the world at Camden Hospital, NSW, Australia. The proud parents didn’t know it at the time but their newest family member was to go on and become a part of racing history…

On March 10 1972, Carol and Mate Mladin welcomed Mat Mladin into the world at Camden Hospital, south-west of Sydney, NSW. Here’s back Mat in 2012 with some of his toys at his property in South West Sydney.

Mate was a Croatian immigrant who escaped the turmoil in the 1960s and arrived in Australia alone and with little more than a shirt on his back. A stereotypical European arrival, he got to work and began building a future through blood, sweat and tears. By the time young Mat was four-years-old, the family were living in a house in Merrylands in western Sydney, and little Mladin had his butt planted on the seat of a shiny new Honda MR50 just three months before his fourth birthday.

We close our eyes and another year goes by….

On the last day of every year we take time to remember some of the friends and fellow motorcycling enthusiasts we’ve lost along the way.

Andre "DéDé" Malherbe was a rock star. The elegant but fierce Belgian was the post–Roger De Coster, pre–Jeremy McGrath superstar in Europe, a man who showed up at races in an Italian sports car, flashing jewelry with what we now call swagger, and then climbing aboard a works Honda RC500 motorcycle and getting down to the business of winning. After proving himself a real prospect in the early seventies by winning two European Cup titles on 125cc Zundapp motorcycles, he was signed by KTM, and then caught the eye of Team Honda. He took three 500cc World Championship titles in the time of the Grand Prix giants, his competitors ranging from De Coster himself (who was teammates for one year with both Malherbe and British party animal Graham Noyce) to "Bad" Brad Lackey to the big Swede Hakan Carlqvist, his fellow Belgian Georges Jobe, and his HRC teammates Davi
