Title: New member from VIC
Post by: Tony H on May 22, 2014, 04:20:15 pm

G'day all,
I'm just another trail hack with a love for bikes of my youth. I past 50 a couple of years ago and plan to make the most of having my kids grown and the new found freedom. I have been enjoying the vinduro scene and plan to builds a VMX bike in the near future to enter some competitive events.

IT's-

TT600N and "the chook chaser"-

and the moderns-

I hope to draw on the wealth of knowledge on this site when the next project starts. I will see if the trend can be broken and it isn't a Yamaha.

cheers Tony

There is a guy in our club with a chook chaser like yours and beats TT500s , XR500s ETC  in the four stroke class .
 make that your VMX race bike.      and welcome  ;)

Thanks for the welcome.
Lewis-I'm in Baxter and will be riding till I drop.
80-85 Husky-I do have a Yamaha lean, however like many brands. Have owned a few euro's, all the jap brands and even a little Hodaka.
Pancho- I love watching dirt track, never tried it.
Big John- that YZ250 2 stroke is a blast and my favourite ride (not favourite bike).
Mick25- I can not decide what to do with the "chook chaser", however anything is possible.

cheers Tony
