Is your bike a GP2 ?No, its a gp but I am raising the bike as its too low and rips the pipe off so I need a longer cable to reach.

I think the black one should be a '99 model.
The blue one as a production bike should be a '97 from what I was told from the importer at the time. Same as the one that was stolen from me.
The Vertemati that Smets would have rode I thought would have been black?

Stolen! / Re: Lockup/Security and Systems in place !!
« on: January 04, 2016, 09:22:02 AM »I fitted a car alarm to my new enclosed trailer.Do you have to pay per month for the sim?
It sends me a text message if it's triggered. (The alarm wasn't very expensive, and an Aldi SIM is $10)
The trailer would look fantastic with some "Skypig Racing" stickers, but "Sewerage testing services" would be smarter.
Another thing worth considering in the correct circumstance is a baby monitor if your garage is remote for eg. ("Sounds like my bike is coughing, and using a hack saw. I better take this bat/12g out and see if I can help!")
Technology like Cameras with remote connections, and GPS trackers have become extraordanarily inexpensive.

General Discussion / Re: EVO GUIDELINES
« on: December 27, 2015, 08:29:49 PM »Cut off dates for EVO nowBecause clearly the Maico is an evo bike. Same as a 465 h.Might as well get rid of pre '78 and EVO and just run a pre '80 class....
Pre '75, Pre '80, Pre '85 and so on....
Would get rid of this ongoing bollocks and one less class to run on a race day. Oh wait the poor Mega 2 riders would have to ride pre '85, so that'll never happen.
The best year cut off is pre '81.
Then name the exceptions.
e.g. '81 maico's, up to '84 Husky's , up to '92(?) CZ's, up to (?) Montesa's, '81 yz465 and 250 etc.

« on: December 26, 2015, 09:41:45 PM »You could easily say pre 90 with the same criteria then.I've stayed out of this until now
Yep, pretty simple. Keep the drum brakes, no water cooling and no linkage. Pre 82 and name the other odd bikes in the rules that are beyond 82 that still fit the bill (I think someone mentioned a big bore husky and the odd KTM (?) )
Pretty simple stuff. Yes I am an EVO rider (when my bikes are running)
Pre '82 would include jap bikes with linkage rears.
Pre '81 is the cut off for most jap bikes. Then include the bikes such as Maico,Husky, Montesa, Yamaha etc maybe
The post you quoted included "Keep the drum brakes, no water cooling and no linkage".
I think everyone (big call, I know!) agrees on those three elements.
Having the additional '82 cutoff would seem sensible, and in the spirit of the class. (Perhaps with named carry over models that were identical to their pre '82 siblings.)
If you couldn't fit it in '82, you can't fit it to an Evo bike.
It's "Evolution" before the "Revolution" of linkages, discs and water cooling.
It's Vintage Motocross.
