Pissing yourselves laughing should be mandatory in all forms of classic racing!!! :D
Race faces ,relaxed faces and rooted faces shall be on all start grids ;)
-
Well come on add yours ;)
-
All 'Super Seniors' must appear to be thoroughly exhausted at the start line after having started their machine.
(easy)
cheers pancho.

VINDURO, PRE 85 ONLY........

VINDURO, PRE 85 ONLY........
Cheers Mick.
Umm, pretty sure it already is. I think this thread may have more jovial connetations than you've realised. ;)

All Vinduro's should be Pre90......Cookardinia 2014 :)

Not that Vinduro needs changing, but I think I would agree with pre90 for them.
Cheers, Grahame

There should be rules established for a new class for hybrid bikes that are made entirely of disputed parts. 76 model alloy swingarms, cr250 76 model frames with shocks relocated, suzuki footpegs with or without return springs, 19 inch rear wheels, conical hubs, mudcatchers etc etc. There cannot be any parts on the bike that have not had a controversy or protest attributed to them..........

So your going to run it as a Pre 90 event, since your going against the Vinduro Pre 85 scene then why not also make your own name for a Pre 90 class, because the way I see it Vinduro will only ever mean Pre 85 and I would never enter a event that goes against that.
Cheers Mick.
-
Needs to be a class for people who take themselves too seriously - actally, two classes: One for the riders who are overly aggressive and another for those that demand every aspect of the event is tailored to perfectly suit their own whims.
In both cases, its a last-man standing sort of scenario - whoever has completed the most laps when the last bike breaks down, for example.
And then we shoot the winner.

And then we shoot the winner.
Yep that's the spirit!!! ;)

No rule is needed to make sure superseniors are exhausted before the start. It goes with the territory.

I think that MAY be true!
-
Every meet should include at least one police chase ( preferably in a Charger ) just like it was in the 70's
Anybody caught gets shot by the copper
-
I propose a YZ80J class, for riders with pillions. Bikes must be unmuffled, missing either the front or rear mudguard, and stolen.
At the drop of the gate, everyone flees into the nearest industrial estate. First place goes to the team that runs the most red lights before their bike seizes.
Winner gets a new powerband. And parole.
-
Aah Ted, you beat me to it. Gotta learn to type faster. And think faster. D'oh!
-
Yep that's when the real fun started.
Believe it or not I have a young mate , early 30's who gets his mates together and goes into Sydney at night and taunts the cops to chase them.....on latest model Beta trials bikes. He reckons cop cars are useless on stairs. Not one of them have ever been caught.
-
only 1 rule
= There are no rules
Na that wont work hell we would have fun

The rules for Vinduo are pre 85 and thats the way they should stay
there are enought Ilegal bikes in Vinduo now === MX bikes
So if you want to run pre 90 go and start up you own Series as a
matter of fact go to pre 95 that way you can all have W/Cooling
Disq brakes Long travel Suspension ....
At the moment Vinduro's are set out just right for pre 85 bikes .
Letting pre 90 bikes in would Fu$#@$ k up the balance in Riders/bike
needs as far as type of course to run on
It would be like the troubles VMX / and pre 90 are having today...

Did you invent the rules for the Vinduro's, I don't think so. The Pre 85 format I'm assuming is a follow on idea from VMX. There is no hard and fast rule regarding the Vinduro format. Once again you have put myself and I'm guessing others off with your comments, but I guess that's the EBT way. There was a pre 93 type event run at Coffs Harbour a couple of years ago with a massive turnout. Obviously there are people unlike yourself who can think outside the square and see that's it's a good idea.
While you're on the subject of offending people, give the CD event organisors a shout and tell them that they did a bad job with CD9, the rules clearly say "up to and no later than 84" yet there were 93 model WR'500's, late 80's Huskies and CR's all doing laps. Why didn't you stop them Mick??? they're breaking the rules.
I've said this a million times if a guy wants to ride a 1/85 plated bike at an event I would rather have him enjoy himself than turn him away because someone says it's wrong. Vinduro is all about good old, relaxed unrestricted fun, perhaps you've forgotten this Mick, besides Cookardinia is not your event and never will be.

Stig, were you at Cookardinia 2012? If you were you would have seen YZ250K=Watercooled, XR250RE=Disc brakes.
Pre 90 has worked from what I'm seeing of the VMX scene and I can't see the reason why it wouldn't work for Vinduro's.

Some of the current rules I think are silly and are designed to try and change history and create some sort of level playing field, but probably don't make bugger all difference to the end results anyway. So maybe a real way to make things more fair is the way they do it with horse racing, by making the faster horses carry extra weight. So blokes that go too fast , like that Brad Van Barrelo, should have to wear a backpack with a 40kg bag of cement in it :D. That would make it much easier for slow, fat bastards like me to compete with fast, skinny blokes ;D.
-
I have to say, there are a couple that I know of , that want be back because of that . You win some you lose some.. . But I guess there are more modern paying customers knocking on their doors, then what they loose in old ones .
What BS! They put on the advertising. What do you want them to do search every ute that comes though the gate ::)
-
Rule:
play the game "bench racer" pg 76 in VMX #53 and hopefully don't get 'kicked of the forum' while missing a turn ;D ;D
Love ya work Roger H

Not a backpack but 1 of those fake pregnancy things the yank hubbies wear, much more realistic shape than a hump on the back

No NSR but they could police it better at the Shute before they go onto the track's
Credit to M/R mcc they said at briefing pre 85 no raceing. keep it within the Spirit
of things.
( But that's like telling a Terrorist not to harm any one ) Entry to the Track is the only
place to stop them making a Joke of the Rules..because there is no machine examination.
prior to going on to the track..

I think a lot could be solved if they just start a pre 2000 class. That way everything comes under the 'Last century' banner. ;D

At 2 day meetings in the UK it is mandatory to drink eight pints of strong cider on the Saturday night. Pretty sure it's in the rule book but I can,t remember where it is...or indeed, where I am.
One series even has a cider sponsor. Got to be better for us than all those Camel cigarettes ;D

At the start line when the flag drops all riders under 40years old have to sprint 50m to there bikes then take off ;D

Rule #1 you must be at least as old as your bike , or your given a 1min pre year . Iain ;D

Eight pints of piss-weak warm sugary apple juice......yawn.... and also it would make you want to have a blabber bursting slash at the start gate even more than eight pints of icy cold quality Aussie beer!
-
Cider??????? ::)
Do sort of "fuzzily" in much younger days, recall getting ginormously blotto on some apple based paint thinners called "Scrumpy" Shit that night many brain cells met total oblivion......

Wally, please define your meaning of "Thing".
-

Awesome, hope it works the other way too. I'm a year older than my bike, looking forward to my 1 min head starts!!!
-
Tim you should try proper cider , better than any of Nathans brewery waters for top dollars and just salty water.
Since my health shitfight last year I've found it hard to drink more than two beers (Yeah I know, you guys who've known me for a while will roll their eyes in disbelief but it's true :-[). Because of that I've found a liking for good strong English and Swedish ciders and South African 'Franks' brand 6.5% alcoholic ginger beer (Aussie or Brit made Stone's is good too). One door closes and another opens. Klub Kevlar will hopefully have some scrumpy cider on tap in the Kompound at this years CD10..... ;D

OOOOhye , Brad 090 want be in this one, he already creeped back a few periods just so he can win :D :D :D sad really when you have to win "titles " this way
I say nothing of your indirect and usually malicious implication against me,but when it comes to the above this is the lowest you can go toward another vmxer.
-

Bullshit , you would walk a forking long way to find a bloke more dedicated to the sport than Brad . Not that it makes a blind bit of difference but ill wager brad is as old as the oldest bike he races .
Walter it i know its one of your wind ups , but FFS ::) ::)
-
I saw that post (not replicated here) and thought Whoa .... WTF!!!
I don't know Wasp but surely that was just humour that missed the target .. by miles ;D
Those of us that know Brad know he takes his VMX very very seriously .. I recall him telling me recently "I'm not out there for a sunday ride" .. and he sure as hell rides like he isn't as well ;D

How about we play that " Clever " game at my place ?
Just come to realised you though this was about you.?.guilty conscience and alcohol~bad mix.
It was in referance to Roger H cool art work, which always seems to include the forum in a fun way.

?... I think maybe this is in regards to the fact I own a "Lanz Bulldog" a not so secret fetish of Mr Wasp .
When I was an apprentice at a Tractor importer there was a heap of old trade ins that had to be driven up Parramatta Rd from s
Silverwater to the auctioneers at Parramatta.
The 'chariot' that I had to so deliver was a Superior German designed device, namely a Lanz Bulldog. Quite an entertaining beast that the 'operator' (me this time) had to stick the steering wheel into the end of the crankshaft and rock it backwards and forwards 'till it went over compression and started.
As I drove this juggernaut up along Parramatta Rd, every body overtook me, lots of these people were on foot!
cheers pancho.

Cheap shot merchants who try to set people up, then remove the prevocotive comment are gutless and a total disgrace, the sooner we get rid of them the better.

He does that a lot, apparently unaware of how poorly it is received, and unaware of how it harms his business.

I think I'll use this thread to measure my interest and care in this forum at the moment, if this thread-with it's intention of only being jovial and a bit of a laugh becomes another load of trash or ends up in folks being insulted and all too common mean spirits I think I'll take a loooong holiday from it all. Should keep at least a few of my "fans" satisfied. :D :D :-X
-
Funny you should say that Nathan because I always thought there was a big business, multi employee situation going on but apparently it's run from a garden shed in a backyard by one person.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Got to agree with this one but unfortunately some softies get sore feelings at the slightest bit of critisism or the odd sarcastic comment and cannot help themselves to get revenge on any clever (smartass) remarks.
Eg. Wowsers, Homo's, Jesus freaks, Greenies etc, etc ;D
