This was in the latest Viper Newsletter if anyone in Vic does not get it via email.
SOCIAL WEEKEND
The Dandenong Motor cycle club will be
holding a social ride weekend just for Vintage
bikes on March 1st & 2nd 2008, at Wonthaggi
MotoX track.
Saturday will start with a Swap meet at 2pm,
so get all your disposable “goodies” together
and flog them to your fellow VMX enthusiast!
Saturday evening will consist of a spit roast,
plenty of bench racing, a film or two & pint or
three of neck oil.
Sunday is the time to blow the cobwebs out of
the trusty old steed for the ’08 season.
Ride sessions for all VMX bikes from PRE’75
(and earlier!) to Pre’90 and every thing in
between.
Note: If you happen to own a Pre’85 500cc
two stroke, you know the one’s.....55+hp,
mushy suspension and no brakes, well we
need you and your bike for a special feature
session on Sunday.
Anyone is welcome to come down to check out the action but if they want to ride they will need to be a member of a MA Club.
Camping is allowed at the track, facilities are top notch at Wonthaggi, proper slash houses, hot showers, lighting in dunny/shower block.
-
Crikey that sounds like a good weekend,I"m in.A couple of them Kawasaki birds waltzin around with the umbrellas n welcome mats could add a bit of sparkle to the proceedings i feel.
-
Sounds like a great warm up for the season .I'll be there with bells on and a trailer full of YZs.
-
Same day as World Superbikes at Phillip Island dammit! >:(
Tex
-
G'day Tex, i am organising a spit roast for the saturday night if you are down that way. are you riding this year in viper?
-
Hi Hoony,
I'd be interested to get to the swap meet on Saturday, we'll see...
Yep, I'm planning to ride VIPER this year (or as many rounds as I can anyway). Are you?
Tex
-
yes, i too will pick and choose the rounds that appeal and i can get to, balancing work and family.
see you soon.
-
Has Macca gone into a coma after producing the Viper dvd ? Hope he gets back out there and cops the odd roost in the chops from Hoony in revenge for the "kickstart incident".... regards to all Vipers from the Wild West for a top "08.... ;)
-
LUCKY IT WASN'T A MONTESA HOONY WAS TRYING TO START :D
-
Yeah, 'cause it's a real bastard having a bike that starts 2nd or 3rd kick cold everytime and then having to wait half an hour whilst everyone else tries to fire up.......
-
Or work out which way is fuel on or how the kick-starter works or which end of the bike is the front end or........
-
dont take the bait 414
-

Hoony does Bumper have a date for saturday night ??? :-*
-

-
Looks like another healthy year for Vipers and friends. ;D But who put this fun on the same Saturday as the Classic Speedway titles !!!! >:(
-
so the 500cc pre 85 shootout is on..... ;D
-
Gee......I wonder if....... the 490 Maico will get the nod........... :-\
-
Interesting comment 414 - do you think the Maico 490 is the benchmark; or is that for another thread?
-
I'm sorry Hoony, I've hi-jacked the thread. I'll shut up about it here. Maybe I'm not thinking straight with Heath no longer being with us. I'm taking the day off work and watching "Brokeback-Mountain" with Gator all day.......
-
do you reckon i care about such things (thread highjack) i think not.
-
I hear that you care about puppies and comfy jumpers :)
-
Gator and myself have been given leave passes for the weekend, Clarence will be contesting the "under five year old snappy bastard class" at Horshams "Mad dogs for rich buggers" show and instead of ceaslessly worrying about our steeds and trailer being knocked off from the motel, thought it'd be dandy to rough it at the track for a couple of nights.
Will we be able to camp at the track? :P
Seriously?
-
Yes there is camping. I looked it up. Yay! :)
-
yes, camping is a go, Rossco.
so i take it just you and the gatorsaurus in you group?
-
o'BABY :-* :P ::)
-
sounds like a good weekend...wish i lived a bit further south would you invite me too... :D just remember no pomeranian ducks ok.... :D
-
gators going im going for sure ;)

-
So what bikes are ya bringing to wonthaggi ?. I'm bringing YZ400E, YZF400, YZ100K,YZ80K,CR80 and maybe a IT250K if i pull my finger out .
-
Hey Paul have you got a track bike yet ?.
-
414 do they still do laps on sat nite (ballarat)
-
no hilly , not yet but soon
-
They probably do Paul. That was how we spent every Fri & Sat night all those years ago. These days I'm normally pushing out Z's by 9 o'clock on a Sat night...... :-[
-
Hey Hilly. Do you ever get down to the Broadmeadows track? I had my first ride there a few weeks ago on the Y zinger. Not the place I'd take an old bike (had quite a few moments on that main t/top!) but we should take the moderns there sometime. Paul could get a modern and Gator can oil our chains and stuff seeing as how he's such a girl!
-
GATOR LOL WERE IS HE LATELY THOSE MODERNS NEARLY KILLED ME MY NECK STILL STIFF FROM CRF 450 SOME ONE IN A EXCARVATOR DUG A TRENCH IN THE BUSH FOR A DRAIN ON THE SIDE OF A BIG ROCKY HILL THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO DID NOT SEE IT COMEING , OUCH
-
He's at work. He goes all quiet and sooky when he's on his seven days on........ Nah. You should have at least one modern. One you can walk down to the shops for, get bits for in a couple of days and be able to flog the shit out of with a clear conscious.... ;D
-
Yeah 414 i havent been there yet but i will go and have a look ,got a few rides coming up with the DMCC flat track and then the Viper weekend . So i will see ya in 4 weeks unless you come Broadford Flat track .

-

-
Greetings All,
Just a short note to remind those people attending the DMCC Wonthaggi event this weekend.
You must have a valid MA club membership. If you cannot show your membership card on the day you will not be permitted to ride. This is not negotiable. If you don't have club membership, you will be able to join DMCC on the day, but it will be a one year membership, NO day memberships will be issued.
If you have a valid National License then your good to go, if not you will have to purchase a rec license on the day.
If you are going down for the night, please make sure that you have contacted Chris Cormack, contact details are on picture above this posting.
Bahnsy

Hilly, if you read this and have a spare 9kg gas bottle (does not have to be full) and room to take it please do. its only a back up for mine. meat will take 4-5 hours to cremate!
looking forward to a big bench race, Oh and a ride on sunday too.
-
Hey hilly he didn't tell you that am on night shift for 12 hour's also he has to start RM 2 as knee is fcked.
-
hey Gator, thanks for the Honda Pics recently, been meaning to email you but busy in general.
Are you riding or is the knee still cactus mate.
-
No worries Hoony i've got one nearly full on the barby ,i will get it out as soon as i get home so i dont forget .I still got a few things to get ready yet . I think i will be still changing tyres on saturday arvo while i'm having a beer .Gator can watch and give me tips on wielding tyre irons.
-
hoony make sure the back up bike will start ;)
plus im haveing baby sitter problems the old you didnt tell me you went comeing home story :-\ :-\
-
No riding Hoony But i do have my Fox pod's coming their in the air now l'll clean your Goggles hoony on sunday :D :D

-
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :-\
-
Paul i can look after the baby ::)
Gator i think he means the Human one, not His 490 BABY ;D
Paul, the 5 Hundy will not make it as i have not managed to excorcise the electrical demons as yet. the ever reliable CR 250 i have had for 21 years will be my trusty steed, i can actually start the 250 too so thats a bonus.
oh if you were wondering, yes i am Very dissapointed the big bore will be MIA.
-
Ah. The knee........
-
ive noticed your pain over the last few days , cant you take it to a auto elec for a quick once over
-
Let's go !
(You think someone would have washed under their guard before going....)

-
ive noticed your pain over the last few days , cant you take it to a auto elec for a quick once over
I'm an electrician, but i am VERY embarrassed to say its got me stuffed. i have sourced a new "rickystator" from USA for Aussie $145. this has to be the problem, or i am missing something.
-
That's good buninyong dirt. plus am to weak in the arm's :D :D
-
if it was running when you pulled it apart then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!have a good look
-
yeah it was running when i pulled it down last Oct'. it had a dodgy CDI that had been pulled apart and wires spliced, i sourced a spare on ebay and everything else (electrics) went back as is. i repaired the dodgy cdi as a get me out of trouble spare but i would never want to run it really as it looks like it will only fail later. i have changed to that one and the new one but still no spark. either i have 2 bad CDI's or its the stator as all else checks out. i know what you mean by go over it i have countless times and that's why i have a break as sometimes you miss the obvious when you are frustrated with things, but so far no luck.
-
mate, its just doing it so you get even more satisfaction from that first post-resto ride. its gonna be good....
and we'll be here waiting (salivating) for the feedback and pics.
-
it was all happening today the atmosphere was electric ,ross and gator share a cupa tea

-
No sugar in mine thank you! (Crazy young kid!!)
Where's these bloody Maicos Paul? We're starting to have our suspicions you know. Couldn't you find enough Glad-wrap to go around them?
-
so how did it all go down fellas...who won the shootout ..... ::)
-
There was no shoot-out, the weekend went beautifully (apart from being bought down by some ill handling Honda hybrid *mutter*), track was grouse and a better than expected turn-out!
Once again, well done to all associted with VIPER and the Dandenong MCC. A special thanks to master chef Hoony. Top meal, pity about all the Honda adds.
-
What a ball tearer of weekend.A great job by Hoony,Chris, the dandy and Viper club, well done boys.

Well that was as much fun as you can have with ya pants on . Congrats to everyone involved in organising a top weekend . The track was a bit daunting at first but by the end of the day it was starting to come together . My 250J needed more setup time to handle a track like that so i rode the YZF400 most of the day . It was certainly an experience camping out with Gator,Rosscoe,KB & Hoony and all the rest .
-
:D :D :D That's jimmy Baker on my RM one of the Baker boy's very FAST 414 was doing a good job to keep up :D :D
-
Yeah, that was after his throttle housing was broken. those monties have a high idle Gator
-
Ya didn't get my helmet graphics right........
-
Hey where did the base station go to ?. It's sleeps 4 and keeps 5 bikes undercover and cost $50.
-
Are you talking about "Chateau Hilly" sorry i missed you when i left Hilly, had to get home and clean the grease off the spit (took an hour and a half) ready for return.
-

I slept well after being seranaded by KB's little XR ,maybe the crownies helped too ?.
-
i slept well to hilly. Yes 414 you had me at Hello :D :D :-*
-
Yes Hilly's complementary crownies did help with the insomnia,but i paid dearly on sunday,a bad case of the death rattles.
-
You didn't show it on the track KB. You were rattling around quite well!
-
Yes, KB was Certainly "on the Pace"
