First Annual Klub Kevlar Show'n'Shine, November 15, Alroy Tavern, 371 Rooty Hill Road North, Plumpton.
In a bid to spread the VMX message to a new audience, Klub Kevlar is holding a show and shine style vintage dirt bike show in the picturesque grounds of the historic Alroy Tavern in Plumpton on November 15. The tavern, a converted country mansion is situated on a couple of acres of beautiful manicured lawns and gardens and is conveniently situated between two M7 Motorway off ramps making for easy access.
We are hoping to attract as many classic off road machines representing all classes ranging from speedway to Pre 90 VMX. To give the event a sense of 'showbiz' there will be show awards for various machine classifications as well as some great product prizes. However, just because there is a show element included in the display, don't think that we only want concourse garage queens. We encourage you to bring as many bikes as you can manage, whether they are barn find 'fresh' or concourse pristine restos. The object is to show the public the huge variety of machine choices and degrees of finish that go to make up our sport. Our aim is to display that our sport encompasses all sorts of bikes and degrees of resto standard.
There will be a playground and clowns for the kids, a charity auction with great items on offer, all proceeds to go to the Noel Clarke fund and the pub management has indicated that they will offer a meal special that is yet to be finalised.
For the Show'n'Shine to be a great event we need as much of your support as possible. Entry is FREE but we need to know if you're coming. The Alroy management has kindly offered us the run of the grounds but to make sure that the show layout and catering is correctly formatted we'd like to get a ball park idea on how many of you and how many bikes will be in attendance. Please PM me and let me know if you're coming and how many bikes you'll be bringing.
This is a great opportunity for us to show the public what VMX is all about. All proceeds will be going to help one of our injured mates and it's also a great opportunity for us to socialise without the distractions of a race meeting getting in the way. If all goes well this could well grow to become a yearly event. Setup starts around 7.30am and the show should wind down around 4pm
-
Mark what time is it starting ???
-
The manager told me he'd be opening the gates at 7.30 Dave.
-
Sounds like it's going to be a fantastic event and great opportunity to promote the sport and help out a mate at the same time.
Pity I can't be there to drink beer and tell lies with you lot. ;D

I've posted some photos showing the lovely ambiance of the Alroy Tavern. The pub is a beautiful venue that encourages family fun by holding Sunday afternoon shows for the kids. A Google map and some photos of the Chuckles the Clown show are here http://www.starz.com.au/index_files/alroytavern.htm (http://www.starz.com.au/index_files/alroytavern.htm)

I`m there Mark... 465 H and 125 H Yammys
-
Good one Ted.
-
What a fantastic and historical spot you have chosen to hold the Show n Shine-just magic. :-*
Built in 1886 ,I believe that Alroy House would surely have some stories to tell as you will doing the same on the 15th Nov.Enjoy 8)
-
Mark...You can use my truck tray for the auction / display ( 5 mtrs long x 2.4 mts wide ) just like Mr Magoo did at Narellan...You need any extension leads just let me know
-
Firko, as I have both my sliders stripped down for resto the only thing suitable to bring is a totally unrestored C15 BSA, it has been in storage for a long time but would be a great example of where some of the completed bikes started from. Let me know?
Steve
-
Curly, just bring it mate. Am sure there will be plenty there who will get off on it.
-
Bring it Curly....The plan is to display everything from tarted up garage queens right through to unrestored gems like your C15. The idea is to show that one doesn't need a 20k Metisse or CCM to get involved. I'm hoping to show my unrestored DT2MX that's been sitting in the Mojave desert for 20 years alonside my pimped up Ducati to prove the point.

SHOW'N'SHINE UPDATE:
Details are fast falling into place regarding the Show'n'Shine. The auction is looking to be an exciting part of the days activities with a KTM SX50, kindly donated by KTM being just one of the great auction items. The latest addition to the auction items is a full photo session for your bike by the great Bill Forsyth. This is a never before chance to get those cool photos for the pool room and who knows, if the bike's suitable and the model hasn't previously been covered it could end up good enough to feature in VMX. No promises there though. Instead of your bike, you might even want Bill to do your family portraits...it's the winners call.
YSS has kindly donated coupons for purchases and a number of people have donated clothing. We can always do with some more auction items so if you have something you think would be suitable please bring it along.
There will also be bike trophies for Best British, Best Japanese, Best European, Best Special and a peoples choice award. Of course there will also be a rat bike award so even the dungers have something to aim for!
I've submitted promo pieces for the local Blacktown Advocate, MtDruitt Standard, Penrith Press and Hills Leader newspapers which will appear with photos in next weeks issues for a good lead up to the event.
I still need to know whos's coming so if you haven't already let me know please PM me.........

Hi Firko,
Can we please have an update, whats the funds up to and how are the orginizing for next weekend going.I have been considering flying in for the event can you send me some details of accomadation etc.. Using my Contacts through the state bodys being vice Presedent of Motorcycling Tasmania I have asked each state to donate 1 senior national license to be sold/auctioned with all proceeds to Noels fund. I hope that all the states will donate,I will keep you posted, it will be a good talking point if some states don't donate. Tasmania has given one and normal cost is $210.00 so the first person from Tassie to contact me or Firko can buy it for $200.00 no strings every one needs one so buy now. The other states will follow hopefully.
Cheers

UPDATE:
We've just returned from a meeting with the Alroy Tavern management where we sorted out a few of the logistics for next weeks Show'n'Shine. The first thing to note is that while the gates will be open for us to set up at 7.30-8am, the event won't be open to to the public until 10AM due to the hotel licencing laws. We've been given a loose closing time but figure that around 4pm would be a reasonable wind down time.
*The Charity Auction will start at around 1pm and Crackers the Clown and friends will be performing for the kids between 2 and 4pm.
*Because this is a new event we aren't sure how many bikes are going to be in attendance so it's a 'suck it and see' situation as far as layout. Your display location will be taken on a first in, first served basis.
*Once you've unloaded you can park your car and trailer on the vacant block accross the road as there isn't enough room for cars and trailers in the display area. Kwikshades are a allowed.
*Pub management has requested that participants refrain from bringing their own beer/alcohol, soft drinks are OK. The bar is open and the publican stated that the whole property is licenced so he doesn't mind you buying drinks at the bar and taking them back to the show area. The pub bistro will be open for meals during normal lunch times.
*Plaques will be presented for..Best British, Best Japanese, Best European bikes...Peoples Choice and the Rat Bike award.
*There is no entry fee but a bucket will be going around and a gold coin donation to the fund will be appreciated.
The three local newspapers, Penrith Press, Mt Druitt Standard and Blactown Advocate are running promotion stories and photos in next weeks edition and they have indicated that reporters may be in attendance to report for following editions.
We're really hoping that this will be a great opportunity to show off our sport to a public that may not be familiar with the vintage off road scene. We realise that this is the first time and aren't expecting a huge roll up but as the Paul Kelly song says..."From Little Things Big Things Grow" and both Alroy management and Klub Kevlar would like to see this grow to become an annual event.
If there are any questions or if you can think of something we may have overlooked please comment here on the forum or PM me. If anybody has a small PA system we'd appreciate it if we could borrow or hire it for the day. Please let us know ASAP otherwise we'll hire one.
The Noel Clarke fund is currently at $4,350.31.
Thanks Shane for your (and Motorcycling Tassies) kind offer. I tried to ring you the other day but there was no answer so I left a message on your messagebank. It's great of you to consider coming up and it'd be great to see you but this is only a small thing, not a big extravaganza. It's a long way to come for a small local 6 hour show. I'll give you a ring tomorrow and we can discuss everything. Unfortunately, I'm already full up at my place so if anyone can offer Shane a place to stay could you please PM me?

Hi Firko,
I now have 2 full MA senior Licenses for sale/auction 1 from Tas and the other from NSW Im not sure of the cost of the NSW license but im sure we could discount it for a quick sale to raise the money for Noel. The Tassie license is $200.00 so if you are after a full MA license and you live in Tas or NSW please contact us and we will orginize the license and all moneys will go to Noels Fund.
Fingers crossed all other states will come on board in the next day or so.
Thanks to MTas and MNSW for there quick responses.
Cheers
Fatboy
Ps can some one tell me how much a MNSW licese is.
-
Hi Wasp,
Unfortunely you will need a SA license hold off for a bit hopefully MSA will come good soon. You do also need to be a member of a club in that state.
cheers

Firko,
Sutto asked if i would display my YZ`s at his shop tonight as he was having a KTM race team promo.
Quite a few guys ( actually shitloads ) showed plenty of interest in them. I passed on this site and the fundraiser to all and they were keen to attend on Sunday
Carl Fuller told me to assure you the mini bike will be on time
And i also won the raffle...2 tickets to the SUPER X

No Tim....They'te the real deal. I tried 'em on here, then eBay and now we'll give 'em a go at the auction. I'd have more hope of selling a dog turd sandwich than these things. ;D I feel sorry for my mate who bought them for his daughters only to find that they already had better tickets for the same gig! Hence the donation.

May I suggest you get a mate who's going to attend and do phone bids for the live auction? Then everyone can have a shot on the day.
Also note that the list posted by Firkmeister may be re-jigged and given a different order for Sunday. Once aproved by his Royal Vintageness, it most likely will be re posted with a "Lot #" to better help identify the items if you're trying a remote phone bid on.

All credit to ya Mark & any other organisers. Hope there's a great turnout to reward yr labours & advance the cause.
For those of us too far afield to make it, any chance some kind shutter-bugs could snap a few (dozen) photos of the bikes on show & post them on the forum next week?
-
Might have to place some masking tape on the trophies, in the words of H.G.Nelson, who's looking after the kiddies.
If anyone interstate wants to bid on any items, P.M. me and maybe I can bid on your behalf.
-
Thanks Curly, I'll work out what I want and I'll send you a pm.

Firko, that list of Auction Items is a corker. Any idea at this stage what time the Auction starts. Give or take.
-
There'll be some more stuff too Col. The auction should kick off about 1pm give or take a moment or two.
I just got off the phone with Brian Clarke, Noels Dad and he's told me that He, Tony and Peter are coming up from Bendigo tomorrow morning.........
-
Curly's got the right idea. We know the Auction starts about 1pm. If I can be of any help to anyone whom wont/cant be their but would like to bid on something I'm happy to spend someone else's money all day long. Email me if I can be of any help.
-
Curly just rang to tell me that I was lucky enough to win the Hannah autographed plate. ;D ;D
So thanks to him and anyone else doing proxy bids. Hope there's plenty of money changing hands today. 8)
Eagerly awaiting a report from someone on how the day went. ;)

Congratulations & thanks to Mark,Allan,Pete & all the Klub Kevlar members involved in the running of today and to the management of the Alroy Tavern as it was a great day out.

Great venue and event.

Love the Beta! Any chance of getting a pic posted ?
Looks like a great day for all. Excellent effort.

It was a great display, I enjoyed it. The 79 Finke Desert Race winning HL surely used a larger fuel tank than the one on the bike didn't it? The tank looks tiny especially considering the engine is not a small thing.

Darren Hill kindly brought along one of his amazing Levo wheelchairs to demonstrate to the Clarke family.The fundraising has gone towards the purchase of a chair for Noel. Billy Brown, Andrew Oldfield and Magoo look on while Darren takes it for a spin.
-
There were a few post auction minor SNAFUS where some of the bidders didn't get their items and a couple of items went to the wrong person. I'll be going through the stuff I have left and posting the outstanding stuff tomorrow. If you didn't get your item please PM me and tell me what and how much and I'll cross reference it with my items list and Billy Forsyths photos of the items. Sorry if anyone was inconvenienced in any way but I got a little overwhelmed, doing it by myself after Magoo took ill so bear with me for a day and we'll try and sort it out.
I'll also give full a financial tally for the direct deposit, forum and show'n'shine auction.
-
That's got to be expected Firko.
I pm'd Tony today to let him know I paid for the Hannah Plate and that there were still things to be done to it so you will hear from him direct.
You have done an amazing job and full credit to all involved.
The C15 is already been retired to storage ( where it had been for over 20 years ) and I may drag her out again next year to defend my hard earned title.
-
I may drag her out again next year to defend my hard earned title.
Congratulations on the win Curly, but "hard earned"??? I don't know............. :D :D :D
Mark, did your 'new' DT2MX make it there?
-
No Tony, the DT2MX is in Queensland with Jonesys GRM trials bikes awaiting a bus ride down. It was a week late. If it would have been here I may have had a chance of wrestling the shitbox award from Curly. ;D
-
Have you thrown down the gauntlet for next year Firko. Game on.
It was a process of elimination, just because mine was pretty much the only dunger there.
Some people are never satisfied. : :D ;) ;D

A 50 year old Pommy bike is still a pretty cool 'dunger', though. ;)

I've been through the leftover stuff from the auction and it's not as bad as I thought. The Yamaha Jersey won by Shaun (Sean?) was missing when he came to pay but it was found in the wrong bag after he's left. If Shawn (Sean) sees this or if anyone knows him could you please contact me and let me know what you want to do.
The Shane Watts autographed T shirt was won by 'Jack' for $30. If anyone knows him could they remind him to contact me and I'll organise delivery and payment. The third outstanding item was one of the JT Kawasaki hats. Either Darren or Shoey won it for 10 bucks I didn't scratch either off my list so let me know which of you it is who wont this cool fashion statement.
There were a lot of great second hand items donated by Gus Preim that we didn't put up for auction due to time constraints but I'll either put them up for sale here or on eBay over the next couple of days. I also have a copy of issue 4 VMX that didn't go to auction as we decided we'd get more money from the issue 4 starved American market so it'll go on eBay. The same goes for the beautiful NOS Husky tank that was kindly donated.
Once I've done all of the financial tallys I'll be in the position to present the fantastic trophy that Gus Preim donated for the highest bidder. I would have loved to have presented it on the day but I couldn't tally it all up in time.
As a special note...I sincerely hope that YZ Ted and his lovely wife enjoy their Britney Spears experience on Saturday night. It was a brave thing you did bidding on those tickets in front of your mates!
Once again, thank you all for your kindness.
BELOW: The great trophy that Gus Priem put together as a show of thanks for the biggest donation. I reckon it's the coolest thing from the weekend. The winner will be announced as soon as I do the sums............ ;D

Firko as the under bidder on the much maligned Britney Tickets I feel that bravery doesn't come into it.
The chance to see a true pop superstar and to join her singing along to backing tracks is worth every bit of ridicule and shame that Ted is now experiencing.
Cheers
Shaun

Yep i can see Ted in his sandals belting out Britney Tunes
-
Firko,
Browny's mag 250 has never looked as good as this one
-
All fixed up..We can't have the Husky Kings bike being taken over by a Klub Kevlar wannabe. ;D
-
Brave ...NO Tight Arse...YES
It was gonna cost me $ 600.00 for those tickets this week so the $ 450.00 i saved is worth any shit that gets thrown. "Baby Baby one more time" Go Brittney Go Brittney
A big thanks to Firko for putting his arse on the line and organising this day. Good venue, food, beers, mates and a great cause. Hopefully we raised enough to help out someone in more need than ourselves.
Magoo, AJ , Evil Rudy and anyone else that gave up their time to run proceedings ...without these people we couldn`t have had such a pleasureable day...congradulations.
The hats and glasses went for a song....wonder if it`s because Bruce was modelling them. Lucky he couldn`t fit into the signed number plates...hehe
Bring it on next year

The current tally for the Noel Fund stands at $10,998 including the $3500+ made at the Auction.
The N.O.S. Husky WR tank was sold to Shoey this morning and there are a few fun and odd things that'll either go up on this forum for sale or I'll hit 'em on eBay. The KTM SX50 will go on eBay tomorrow but I thought I'd make it available to forum members before that happens. VMX issues #4 and #6 will also go on eBay today.
The little Kato is available to the first forum member to offer $3000 until midnight and if not sold she goes on eBay. What a cool Christmas pressy for the kids/grandkids 8)
It's time to start winding this down so let's go out with a bang by bidding on the items I'll be offering up over the next day or so. Once again, thanks to all who've contributed and assisted in the fundraiser and the Show'n'Shine. I won't list everyone as it's a long list and I'm certain to miss somebody and I don't want to do that. Those wonderful people who've dug deep, gone out of their way to help and have offered support when it was needed know who you are. The Clarke family through myself are deeply grateful to you. You're all a part of what makes this sport such a cool family.

Mark,
Somewhere back in the early days of you setting up the Noel Clarke benefit, there was a wave of items put up for auction, including a "borrowed sign" for CD6 (I think) which was signed by Joel R and Roger D. I haven't heard what happened with that auction. Is it still alive? ??? ???
-
Good point Pirie.. It got swept up in the mayhem and I'm not sure what the result was. I've PM's DJ for an update.
-
Thanks for the pics too Mark (as well as everything else)

I would have loved to see that NOS Husky tank on eBay to see what it would have fetched, would hve even been a great bar ornament, how come it didn't go to auction? ???

I'd decided to put it on eBay but before I could I was made an offer of $400 which I figured was a pretty good price.

The little Kato 50 sold on eBay for $2750 Buy it Now last evening. It's going to a new home on the Gold Coast.
Anyone have any clues on shipping the little fella from Sydney-Gold Coast?

The new owner of the little KTM SX50 is Queensland Maroons State of Origin and Canterbury Bulldogs front row forward Ben Hannant. Cool.

Seeing that we're being reminded of our first Klub Kevlar Show'n'shine, this wouldn't be a bad time to remind everyone that we'll be repeating the event again this year with all proceeds raised going to Magoos family. Once again it'll be in November and at the same venue. It's early days but I'd like to start drumming up support and to get an indication of who's interested in coming.
We had a great time last year and I reckon we could double the turnout this time around. It's a good PR exercise for our sport and I believe it's a good opportunity to sell our movement to the general public. Who's up for it?
-
Count me in again Firko, with another load of Huskys.
-
Hi Mark,
I know it is hard organising suitable dates for these things but what are the chances of avoiding Nov 6/7th Heavens last round, and Nov 20/21st All British Day in Victoria?
Mike
-
e74 phoned terry- not for sale, you may have to win oz lotto!firko he is interested in coming down in november again.
-
know it is hard organising suitable dates for these things
Nothing's set in stone yet Mike. We'll try and avoid as much other stuff as we can. The Masters Games is also on in early November and I'm going to that so maybe October or early December will get the nod.....stay tuned.
-
Yeah i`m in Mark...so is the truck / stage.
I will have another big bore garage queen to unveil.
-
Happy to do standard routine / auction again.
What can we come up with this year to top the Britney Spears tickets...
-
Pissoff Rudy...Brittney rocks
" Hit me baby one more time "
-
How about Rudy does the auction dressed as Britney?? :o
-
wow... i can meet both my need to talk and cross dress in the same afternoon.
Craig, will you dress in you gimp suit and assist?

Hows your new spring Ted.
