General Discussion / RE3 Resto Expo 2019 - Save the date

« on: July 05, 2018, 08:38:27 AM »

The OzVMX Forum and Facebook Group page is all about enjoying the fun of old dirt bikes and preserving the history of this great sport we all share. The annual OzVMX Resto Expo is an opportunity for all of us to get together in a relaxed and naturally beautiful environment at an Australian Iconic location and enjoy the sport in the way we choose.

If you have a few bikes in the shed, bring them along, we want to see them all on display

If you want to have a relaxed ride without the intensity of racing, there will be 2 tracks to ride on including the cruisy grass track and for RE3 a tamed down variation of the Famous Dargle Motocross track.

If you just want to camp on the riverbank and bench race with your mates the location is perfect for that as well.

Live music both nights and plenty of great food on sale.

This event is for you guys

Tech Talk / Re: Quality of replacement COUNTER SPROCKET help & advise ?

« on: June 24, 2018, 10:09:21 PM »

I've used PBI on my race bikes for about 4-5 years and they have lasted really well. I order them direct from the US, the shipping is reasonable and I usually receive them within 2 weeks. https://shop.pbisprockets.com/

General Discussion / Re: Facebook or Ozvmx Forum?

« on: June 20, 2018, 08:18:55 PM »

The forum is here to stay boys. I have no plans to do anything but keep it going. No need for ads to fund it. I'm using proceeds from the OzVMX Resto Expo to cover the forum running costs. I'll see what I can find out about posting images. I have tried Imgur after asking Dennis what he is using and it works great. Thanks for hanging around

Agreed. The Works Performance Shocks are excellent feeling shocks.

General Discussion / Australia's First Supercross

« on: April 02, 2018, 11:45:59 AM »

Australia's first Supercross. I think it had to be late 78 at Parramatta Speedway (The Speedway by the Freeway!) I was racing my Suzuki RM400C. It rained and was as slippery as ice. What's your memory?

Tips for using the Forum / Re: photo hosting sites, what do you use?

« on: April 02, 2018, 08:38:14 AM »

Since the conversion of Photobucket to a paid site displaying images has been a sore point in this forum. Dennis Vinduro has found that www.imgur.com works well which we at OzVMX HQ have begun to test ride, so give it a try. We'd love to see your pics

Over the coming weeks we'll be doing some maintenance to the forum. No drastic changes, just a tidy up and we'll be upgrading to the latest version of the software. We'll try to minimise the down time for you.

General Discussion / Broadford Bike Bonanza 2018

« on: April 02, 2018, 07:07:41 AM »

Just did the run down to Broadford for my first bonanza. You Victorians are totally spoiled with that complex and yet again NSW is behind the times and our local government has NFI! Was great to ride around the Broadford MX Track again although last time I rode it in 82 it went anti-clockwise but it still felt familiar and brought back great memories. I was told attendance numbers were approx 5000. Pretty impressive numbers. Attended Rosco's Mini Reunion Dinner and mini Show n Shine which was a blast with a lot of great people there. Crumpy came and put on a show at the Short Circuit track and even though he was obviously riding at 70%, his 70% was still a thrill to watch. Those old short circuit guys are fun to watch and they are as tough as nails. Watched the road riding for a while on what I thought was a beautifully undulating road circuit with great vantage points. All in all a good spoil of a weekend for me and I highly recommend it.

The entryform will go live on the club site this week. www.heavenvmx.com.au
