The undisputed obvious...
The swingarm IS the optional "B" arm

I bought that arm and put it on Ted's RM, I knew it was legal all the time.

And aside from this issue finally being put to bed, one of the benefits of Ted bringing this arm forward was that it is now possible to tell the optional b and standard c arms apart as there is a difference in the manufacturing process that you can't replicate.

Just got home. WOW WOW WOW what a super fun weekend

Many thanks to Col, Vandy and Davey for putting on the best weekend I have ever experienced in VMX. To say them guys put in a huge effort is a massive understatement. We are already planning the Post Classics next year. Thanks guys. My apologies go out to all the other helpers that I don't know but a big thank you. Oh and what about the track. What a fantastic layout!!!!!!!

Now to the not so serious stuff. We turned up with steel arm fitted fully expecting to run with it. We sought approval to use the alloy arm through the right channels and procedures and were given the green light to proceed. Which we did.

In impoundment after the race a place getter asked the Steward if the arm was legal? The Steward asked me if I would show the guy why it is legal. I refused to divulge the information unless the guy stumped up and formally protested. Which he didn't. All good.

A huge thanks to JohnnyO and TMBill for their encouragement and assistance to make me follow this alloy bullshit through. Many times over this last year I thought WTF why bother but these two remained solid and helped me get this thing over the line. They both know their stuff. Also thank you to Davey and Vandy for giving me the time of day to explain the difference between this arm and any other and then taking it to Col so as he could get clarification from Dave Tanner. Thanks Dave.

I will not be revealing the difference between arms. So if anybody wants to cheat , believe me, you will be found out. You have been warned. However, one thing I will disclose is that the alloy arm weighs exactly the same as the steel arm.

Lindsay, if you learn to hop better there may have been more tipped into the motor neurone appeal tin.....haha

Thanks to everyone that attended, you guys are great

Ted the only problem with not revealing the difference is that some poor bugger is going to stump up good money for an alloy arm they are told is a 'B' arm only to find out when they go to use it that they have been taken by some thief who has ripped them off. It would be much better to clearly show what is an optional 'B' arm and what is a modified 'C' arm surely.

Well done on doing the homework and presenting it at the titles. As most people said they believed it was legal but it needed someone to do exactly what you did.

Thanks Scott

If you thought Liam was quick at Bula, you should have seen him up there.

I won't be riding Lakes. My wrist is gone. Can barely hold a stubby left handed these days. How bad is that. I will bring Hayden. He has a new bike since he can't ride his XR anymore. It's a 84 YZee 80. You can nurture him in Yammy world...hehe


See ya at Lakes big fella.
