Stan S good to see some Victoria boys coming up

bazza, we came up last year and had a ball so no contest we can't wait. I don't think anyone can winge and moan about where it is if your not prepared to support the venues when there NOT in your state. Ray Ryan (R.I.P) gave us a pretty good go in Victoria in the early CD days.

Don't forget to drop by the Kevlar Kompound for a refreshing Margarita or exotic foreign beer and some gourmet chili Stan. ;D

I'll have my 'other' DT1 Hindall and Maico trials bike. Not sure if I'll have the Cheney back together in time. I may also bring my garage queen DT1 for an airing.

The Buzzard and a mate of his are coming from NZ and as has been said Murray from the IT forum rang me last week and said he was keen.
May be a few others from NZ but i think DJ will have to give it a miss this year due to other commitments  :(
Im still hoping to make it but as yet haven't booked a flight  ::) booked my ride pass though  ;D

Better bring your riding gear anyhow. The though of you mope-ing around like you did at CD5 is unbearable... ;D

I'm out. Conflicts with the wife's and The Boy's birthdays, as most June long weekends do - as much as missing CD sucks, staying home earns many brownie points, while going to CD burns a truck load of them...

I'm in ;)  No bikes this year  :'(
even though you can't whack in a tent peg to save your life Tony, you got mates mate ;)
and we've even fitted our own gearlevers ;D

Shame you can't make it Nathan. I'll be going along with TwistandShout - rides all booked, accommodation all sorted. I bought a sad old IT175G at CD5, and this year I'll be bringing the resto'd version of it along for some vinduro fun. Plus the poor old RM125 as usual...

Ha Ha - you blokes are farkin' hilarious  ;D ;D
Thankfully this year I will have a pegless tent and won't be helping anyone like I tragically did at CD6  ;D ;D
I will happily be Esky bitch - I will just be happy to be there  8) 8)
I will even offer a free gear lever adjusting service (just to make sure you can get second and beyond  ::) )
Make sure you  blokes bring a big bin so we don't get the camp commandant cranky.  Word is Hilly is not going to be able to make it again this year, so we may have to have the Hilly salute with that bottle of Stones again this year  :'( :'(
Riding gear is packed (not used since CD7 :'() - riding spot booked - trophy packed as well - it's not coming home with me this time - how could it  ::).
Bring it on

Post by: KTMaico on May 15, 2011, 08:38:30 pm
Maico is being run in, hopefully ready in time. I need longer legs as the bike is soooo tall. I don't have much hair so the days of waxing the locks are a distant memory. I am bringing the wife along so she can make sure I am not enjoying myself (she hates that), as well as a DVD player, LCD TV, as well as the following.... The Notebook, Beaches, Fried Green Tomatoes and other girly fair. No camping, a motor home so she has private loo and shower.

I know in the end there will be complaints, but it will be worth it. I look forward to seeing Joel Robert on his CZ again this year and having the "Maico Lovers and Fans" campsite and some good company. I will try and not make a fool of myself, but as they say there's no fool like an old fool and I think I fit the bill. See you all there, and come up and say Hi.

Does anyone out there have a pair of platform shoes from the 70's in a size 8 I can try and use at CD8 or better still if anyone has any KISS knee high leather platform boots that would do. Do you think I would be able to use them instead of the Sidi's?

Brad has decided not to take any KTM's so I'm sure I wont have enough to make a good display , Unless you can round up another 10 or so?
I plan to camp down near the creek close to Klub Kevlar if there's room.
I'm not camping on Thursday night I'm booked into the Pub , I have to drop off some equipment for one of the trade stands and help set up. Then I will be relaxing back at the pub.

I'm helping set up a trade stand on Thursday so I plan to camp down near the creek close to Klub Kevlar if there's room.

Fair enough.


If you're setup by the time I roll in on Friday evening, I'll have a chat to you about space nearby for my porta-shade and other crap.

Would be good to be reasonably close by to the KTM knowledge even if there isn't a 'Kompound' as such.

Just a quick reminder guys...  allowing setting up of Trade Stands on Thursday is not to allow people to "jump the queue" and arrive Thursday to set up camp. 

That's just not fair on everyone else.  ::)

Entry on Thursday will be stictly limited to people with issued passes only and there will be professional security on the gate to make sure there are no exceptions.

And by the way, people with ellaborate stories, like the guy last year who claimed to be "delivering Shoey's generator"  (and wasn't) will end up being disappointed.  :P

OK everyone...

Registration for Riding at Suzuki Classic Dirt 8 is now closed - we have a full house of 600 riders!  :o

Please note that this does not mean that entry to the event is closed - just that if you decide to come along and had not registered to ride prior to now, you won't be able to ride.  You will however be able to check out the thousands of bikes, meet the people and enjoy the other aspects of Classic Dirt that make the event much much more than just a ride.  ;D
