I see there is a vinduro at Stratford for Sunday September 8, does anybody have any more information on this event. I cant make Harrow but this one I can.
Cheers Chippy.

Chippy, we've got a few other big events to get out of the way successfully first. Once they're done n dusted some more light will be shed on the Stratford event and how it will work. It's great country in that area and very close to the famous Maffra/Sale club so we're very much hoping to get lots of locals and first timers to the event, that area has to be one of the most dirt bike cultured places in the land so please spread the word to the Vinduro virgins and uninitiated for us and tell em to "drag em out"! ;D
Cheers, Brendan

I rode Stratford in 84 and vividly remember the poor bastard in fronts bum bag zipper slowly opening on a long stretch of sandy whoops and showering me with tools.. the more I tried to catch him to tell him ...the faster he went! He was getting lighter by the minute....

oops, the sands of time have dimmed the memory, the enduro was at Stradbroke....never been to Stratford ::)

Now that all the excitement of Harrow has died down, it's time to start planning for the next one at Stratford Vic in a couple of weeks. ;D
I've managed to organise enough time off to come over to take some photos and have a look around a part of the country that I lived in 40 years ago. :(
I can only get away Saturday morning so it will be later in the arvo that I get there, so how many of you will be camping? I just want to make sure there's someone to drink with when I arrive!! :P
I'm also digging up a few silly prizes just for the fun of it. No idea what they will be for as yet, but being the pedantic old fool that I am, period correctness will be a big advantage............... ;)
See you there one and all!

Hey that's awesome mate! Aren't you putting in the miles this year! :D will be great to see you here again, ill be leaving work about 1 Saturday afternoon and heading over for the night so even if no one else turns up we'll not be drinking alone ;D are you driving over or doing a 2 wheel trip? Also can you pm those bank details so I can get a Harrow DVD, I still haven't seen it yet!! :'(

I'll be bopping over on the big, fat roadie for this one, Rookie.
I toyed with the idea of riding the XL250 over but cos I have to work on Friday, it would be at least October before I got there! ::)
I'll give you a buzz on that Saturday and see where you are.
Flick me a pm and remind me what your postal address is and I'll get a DVD off to you tomorrow morning and you can pay for it with beer or similar over there........ ;)

We will be coming up on Saturday arvo a few others are as well.

Latest update from Drakie:
Private property loop: About 12 kms long, and 29 minutes to complete. Undulating, stony in parts, zig-zagging between trees, no dust...
Bush loop (rego req'd): About 15 kms around, take about 30 mins. Single track, fast flowing, sandy loam, nice...
It sounds like it's gonna be a good one. Entry is accepted on the day, so don't be discouraged if you haven't entered already. If you're camping prepare yourself for some serious mosquito action!

Just home long enough to have a shower and a beer! ;D
Glad I went over and I can see this event growing along with the rest. Well done folks!
Beautiful country and good people! ;)
Thanks for the pics, poss. Team XR500 will love the one of the 2 of them.
I'll get a few up myself asap.

Here we go. If anyone wants copies of these in either print or electronic form, let me know. I don't know what sort of deal I'll do yet, but any money will go directly to VERi to go towards future events.

Nice photos from all. Looks like a good ride.
Tony T - did you get an on location shot of your mode of tpt over?
-
did you get an on location shot of your mode of tpt over?
No.
;D
That particular mode of transport is in the bad books right now. It let me down near Portland on the way back and I had to ride non-stop from there to home cos if I turned it off it wasn't going to start again....... :-\
-
who's that fat bastard riding my bike?....oh wait
-
Great photos Tony T. From all reports it was a really good event.

The latest edition of Scooter News has a great write-up of this event too.

Tony - love your work. Some absolute smashing photo's there.
Tex - what is scooter news?
-
google it
-
I just did and it didn't come up??? strange as I thought scooter would actually lean out of the screen and say hi.
try this Scooter News <[email protected]> email them and ask them to include you in the mail out
They flick out an up to date report on various events each Monday or so...

Thanks John, I had tried to Google it and could find no reference to it. Thanks for the contact details I have sent off an E-mail requesting a subscription. Cheers Mark
