Title: Hi from Sydney
Post by: Kenneth S (222) on February 20, 2011, 09:19:59 am

Hi VMX Diehards,

I only recently discovered the VMX scene last August when searching eBay for a mini bike for my 8 year old boy's birthday. Prior to that I didn't even know it existed. I'm now 10 grand poorer, bought a full kit of riding gear for both myself and my boy, a PW80, a truck, a trailer, my dream VMX bike, a 79CR250RZ,  (the Nice Noyce one!), found most of my old SnapOn tools, have set up a bike workshop at work, joined Heaven VMX Club, spend my nights scouring the net for obscure parts, and have reconnected with some great guys I used to ride with I really should not have lost touch with. I met a few of you guys at Glenbawn last year when Carl Blecher was good enough to loan me an RM 250 to race and had a great time. Will be racing at Buladelah in 4 weeks time on my CR (come say hi) and have booked in the CD8 at Conondale.

But....don't worry though, I have it allll under control!?

Thanks Graeme for signing me up.

Welcome to the funzone Ken. It looks as if you've grabbed the vintage bull by the horns already, squeezing in some hefty purchases including another Red Devil....these things are breeding. Enjoy.
