Vinduro Ride Nowra

[Wollongongwolf]

Hi all, trying to get a Vinduro ride together at Nowra Motorcycle Club (Nowra MX Track) on Sunday 14/4/13. I have the go ahead from the club for that date. What it is, is a casual ride, no comp, no prizes, no fuss or hassle, just turn up and ride.
They have 1000 acres of bush,with a 10 kilometre bush loop,plus shorter loops, which are easy to moderate riding.Cost is usally $50 to ride a day for non members, but tell me if we get a few, told them was hoping for a dozen, they will charge $40, which I think is a good deal for a days ride. Hoping that if people like it and club are happy with us , we may try something bigger.Good chance to get together as not that many Vinduro meets. Nowra well placed as only a couple of hours from Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, southern Highlands and South coast.
There are 2 MX tracks, two kids tracks also, so you can bring the tribe if you wish. Good chance to get some of the younger kids who can't ride at vinduro meets a chance to have a ride.I have also put this out on Vinduro.com and the Yamaha IT forum.
If you are interested, please let me know so I can give them some idea of numbers. Hope I can get a bit of support on this, could be a top day, thanks.

Sounds like a great idea! The NDMCC complex is fantastic, with a big variety of terrain and (as you say) fairly close to lots of people.

That said, I don't think I can make it - my calendar is already looking quite full, and I'm on a short leash...

great guys, sounds like some interest,tell your mates. as for camping, bit rough down there, I know that you can camp there, but not sure if you have to be a member and what numbers they allow. Will email the President and find out how they feel about it. so spread the word,hope we get a few and the weather is kind.

I might even get down there, as an observer only.
An old mate of mine is the President of the club and has been trying to get me down there to check the place out for a while now, I'll bring my son along so he can cut up the MX track.

Just an update on camping, got an email , says yes to camping, sent another email to get the guts on price and any rules they have, will update with the info when it comes. So you campers got no excuses, pretty primitive camping, toilets, dirt, no grass, think they have showers, not sure if they are running or hot.
So looking good, need five starters for $40 ride, should get that easy I would think, so spread the word.

I think the camping facilities will surpass the Buladelah Megaplex

Holmesy, Show these fellas your under the stars sleeping technique   

[Ekka]

pre 90 or pre 85 event 

[Wollongongwolf]

Pre 85, tail and head lights ,they don't have to work, but it is a public track and anyone can go there and I won't be checking what year a bike is, so I will leave that up to you if you think your bike is correct year.
I think if you want to ride with your mates, who am I to stop you.
All about a good day out.

Was riding at Nowra today, asked about the cost to camp, $5.00 if your interested in an early start. Also met a guy riding a fully original Suzuki 1980 ER 185 at Nowra today. First time out for 15 years. He was dressed in reflective work clothes, open face helmet,work boots, safety glasses, was having a great time out on the trails.
Good to see an old beast out amongst the show ponies. Told him about the event in Nowra, so be good to see it out an about again.

Hi all, I am still putting out info to various classic bike clubs around Sydney and Canberra. Seems to be a lot of people with old Dirtbikes out there who don't know that there is even a Vintage Enduro Vinduo scene out there.
I announced it at the meeting of the Classic and Enthusiasts Motorcycle Club down here at the Illawarra last night.( I'm a member, you can't beat $50 rego a year for a classic bike) Was a few riders who are keen , but they didn't know anything about Vinduro get togethers. So it would seem there is more work to do to get the word out.
At the meeting I was told that the club is having a ride of classic and vintage bikes riding to Nerriga that day, which is about an hour ride from the track and will be calling in to see how things are going on the day. So a good opportunity to see some great all road bikes.
So again, hope I have your support, tell your friends, I am sure if pre 90 bikes or even VMX turn up on the day, most people would be happy to see them out.
My main focus is to get old bikes out of the shed, instead of owners looking and dreaming of a ride. Good chance for all to check out some great old bikes and have a good day out.
Any questions , please feel free to ask, Brent
