Title: VMX Xmas NZ
Post by: TM BILL on December 29, 2011, 02:14:22 pm

We were asked to put on aVMX display at the annual Summercross in Whakatane over Xmas .

We had a static display and a few of us did some laps too. it was very well recieved by the public and hopefully promoted what we do in a positive light  :) Rob Sutherland YZ 490 #33 and Keith patterson 85 CR 500 #56 really impressed  the crowd with just how well a well set up vintage bike with a top rider can perform  8)

Good work Bill....looks like it was a good day out. Is that one of yours on the DG RM125? Whoever she is she sure looks the part.
I hope you and the Italian Princess have a cool New Year and I look forward to sharing an ale or 3 with you both in 2012.

Thanks guys , Mick that is my oldest Daughter Jocelyn  :) she fits the gear i dont anymore  ;D

Firko yep Joce only flew in from the UK on boxing day but was adamant that she wanted to do the Summercross  :) she rode vintage on the first day and rode a modern KX 125 in the womens racing on the second day. It really made Xmas special for me having her back allbeit for a couple of weeks .

Vale sends a big hug and hopes to make it to CD or the nats in 2012 , she says im not allowed on my own anymore as i keep getting damaged  ;D

Stu the weather was fantastic we couldn't have wished for better, we did get a good turnout inspite of the time of year when most people were busy with family things .

Great effort guys.
That was a real constructive way to promote VMX.
Way to go.

That 1981 RM 125x is a stunning bike Bill. ;)

Gee you got good on a computer Bill!. Thanks goes to my son for pressuring me into that one. I pulled the cover sheet off the CZ - still had the dirt from the last moto I rode in 09. Didn't start her up assuming the fuel would be stale, quick sniff with the filler cap off said otherwise - gotta love Av gas. So I threw in my riding gear, thinking I might get bored just with parking her up on display. Once unloaded in the pits I put on the sturdy only thing you start a CZ with moto boots. fork me if it only took 4 or 5 half arsed kicks to bring her to life!...that's after sitting for 32 months.
What a way to go for an icebreaker ride out onto the Awakaponga track, mission accomplished & didn't fall off.
