Media release
31 May 2014
VERi President Steve Baker, and Rob Shoemark (Media & Promotion) have just completed the final course set out for the upcoming Harrow Vinduro on the last weekend of July.
The course will run through seven properties and will be approximately 90 kms long, with a fuel dump at the half way mark for a splash and dash back to the finish.
Rob noted that, "The course is running through some of the most spectacular farmland you will ever encounter."
"For those of you sitting on the fence about getting your bike registered in some form - don't! You will be kicking yourself if you miss this one," said Steve.
The course is suitable for beginners as well as experts. With the change of format this year the problem of the Glenelg River in bad weather has also been addressed.
Stay tuned for more details, and keep checking the VERi website – www.verivinduro.com.au

Not up to speed on rego requirements. What rego suffices for this event?
Cheers

Full rego or classic permit (a.k.a. "red plate). Recreational rego is not suitable.
You can also organise an Unregistered Vehicle Permit through VERi.

This is what needed to be filled out for Hopetoun (will have the form for Beaufort Vinduro up soon)
http://www.verivinduro.com.au/66/hopetoun-unregistered-vehicle-permit/
Also for the UVP bikes need to have a...
Working headlight, tail light and brake light
Horn & mirror
Several guys took advantage of this for this weekend and so Hopetoun will have an RM 400 and a KX 450 among others riding down its main street

90km loop - is there any possibility of completing more than one loop?

Now that they have sorted out the river crossing there is a good chance you may complete one loop ;D

Sounds fantastic!
El Presidente was over the moon with the course. ( yep just like a cow) though I did hear he fell over a lot,.... just resting apparently :)
90 Klm if you go the right way, goodness knows how long it will really be! :) maybe the farm animals won't be as hungry on the new properties and leave the arrows up?

Yes. In fact the plan is for everyone to do one loop on Saturday, and then one or two on Sunday.

The course will be fast and flowing on spectacular land. This event will be as good as it gets in respect to vinduro. (90kM on fabulous trails per loop)
If we have large amounts of rain the course can be completed with out having to cross the river at ground level. This is the distinct advantage of having the red plate , UVP and full rego scheme in place for some of the VERi events.
It will be "Easy" to get one lap in on Saturday afternoon and familiarise yourself with the course.
Average riders will get two laps in on Sunday.
I would expect fast riders will sneak in three.
Details for our red plate rego is available on the VERi website.
Unregistered vehicle permit for your bike will require the following.
Working headlight
Working tail light
Working brake light
Working horn ( bicycle horn is acceptable)
A rear vision mirror
There are numerous ways to achieve the working lights scenario and there is plenty of time to do so prior to release of the entry form.
Quite muffler is required and desirable
VERi will be releasing the entry for the Harrow event on July 1st 2014. The entry form will include the application for the UVP.
Keep an eye out on the VERi site
It is recommended that if you require a UVP , complete the UVP and entry form immediately and send it back to us immediately
We will submit all the UVP applications to VIC roads at the same time.(It takes approximately 3 weeks for VIC roads to process the UVP's..) , so its obvious that being proactive and completing your application for a UVP is essential.
"UVP applications and approvals cannot be done on the day of the actual event"
If there are any further questions relating to UVP's ,jump on the VERi site ,email the club , email me via a PM on this site or call me 0409 810 551 , i would be very pleased to assist you with your enquiry.
Those people who make application for the UVP , your bikes will be scrutineered at the Harrow event prior to you being issued with UVP paperwork, so please make sure your bike is compliant. "Under no circumstances will a non compliant vehicle be acceptable"

A 270/360km Vinduro sounds fantastic!
TBH, I was worried that it would be one loop affair - it's a bloody long way to drive to do 90km of riding, but that sounds like it won't be an issue at all. :)
Now to sort out a bike...

I terms of Red Plate rego for those riders from outside of Victoria .
Unless the bike you are considering for red plate rego resides in Victoria the best option would be UVP.
You can also have full registration from the State in which you reside. At the BBB event I noticed a number of bikes with full registration
Call me Ted and I will explain.
Your IT looks like it would be compliant with the requirements for the UVP

Thanks Rob for all that Good Oil on this Top event ...Well done to the Veri Team..
Now I know what I need to do I can only wait for the Entery from to fill in
Shit Its ONLY 8 weeks to To Go ....

Thats great Dennis
Hope to see you and the rest of the Capitals Mafia at Harrow.
It will be well worth the effort.
-
hey guys, will it be like a red plate ride with a trail boss and sweeps or will be like the old harrow event with bikes let off every minute and left to their navigation skills (don't look at me for directions.. ;D.)

Harrow will be the traditional start with 3 every minute.
UVP form for Harrow is now on the VERi website for anyone that wants to get their paperwork in early.
Entry form will be up in a couple of weeks

Why not rec rego? You can get an exemption/ event permit from Vic roads for nominated roads on the course. PM me if you need further details and contact at Vic Roads.

This could be handy...

Question Rod I've got full rego on my bike but they don't give rego labels no more so do I need the paper work to prove it cheers Ek
-
Please have registration papers with you or you could send a copy with your entry form.
-
NSW & ACT (and I presume other states) allow online rego status checks. IF there's reception/internet access at Harrow, that could work too.
Taking the rego papers would be the safer option though.

Although present, reception strength is normally no where near good enough to be able to rely on for something so important and time consuming even you if you had direct internet access. The process isnt hard as you would know but check that *150 bikes and it becomes a big task.

Why do you need to provide proof of rego ? Is there some liability on VERI if a rider is participating on an unregistered bike ? (or did l miss where that was pointed out ? ::) )
-
in Victoria, a regoed and licenced rider is covered by TAC insurance. many a collarbone and shoulder / knee has been repaired by TAC as the accident / incident occurred on a "public road". if you had a bingle and say smashed your knee and were found in the resulting investigation to be unregistered it is then your cost. your soliciter will then recommend you sue the sh*t out of the organisers for placing you in peril.. therefore they want you to prove you wont do that by ensuring your covered by TAC. easy isn't it. being unlicensed or unreg is fine until the lawyers get involved then it all goes pear shaped :o you probably know this.... ill go away

This deserves its own thread, definitely separate from Harrow-specific discussion, and probably not even VERi specific.

I don’t see that there is that much to discuss, if a club is running an event on public roads then the club has a right to check that only registered bikes and licenced riders are participating.
Any shenanigans in regards to these criteria will reflect back on said club.
The VERi club isn’t overly anal about anything, but we like to do things right and legal.
I remember showing rego papers and licence at Enduro’s all the time, even the Wonthaggi Six Hour wanted proof as it was for registered bikes only.
Nothing new here, move along
-
The now defunked blue light, Nolan rally and the kenda even go as far as to keep your license until the end of the ride to make sure every one makes it home.
-
didn't work at Hopetoun... all they did was ring my phone which was in the car! no helicopters, no search parties..they just sat around and ate all the food hoping I would turn up (so they could all go home I rekon!) :D ;D ;) no one was hurt and no animals were injured... I ran over two paddy melons tho ;D :D
-
There were four of us out there packing up the corse until 4.30, we would have found you......

Thanks Geoff, that fully answers my question :)

"There were four of us out there packing up the corse until 4.30, we would have found you......"
No you wouldn't cos I turned left at the first bitumen rd not the second rd so I was riding happily away from Hopetoun! my stupid brain only processed that instruction "turn left at the bitumen", not the obvious one that says turn left where the bloke with the nice vest is standing....
I rode 5 k's down the Lascelles road, 5 k's across to the main hwy when I realised what I had done and 15 k's back to the town... all up for the day I did ~13 out to the dump, 4 times 65k's and a further 20 odd back to camp..less the bit I missed by turning left too soon! wasn't a real issue as I had plenty of fuel left for another 10 - 15 k's so I could have made Lascelles!! :o
a great day in the sand
-
You did 4 laps!
Well done, you would have enjoyed the bitumen after 4 laps in the sand.
I'd had enough after riding the course for three days setting it up.
-
its taken 2 weeks for the carpel tunnel swelling to ease and I've had the fillings replaced that shook out ;D :D
the husky is much nicer on the sand than the road! especially with a rich needle setting spluttering and blubbering away...
keen for next year already, had a ball!

Some guys! Sheesh! ::) I recall that at the riders briefing it was mentioned that if you had a mobile phone to have it with you!
