Yes

Its a Very Good Vinduro and well run by the Holbrook M.CC

so far so good, I have a mate who has just picked up a PE 250 and he is keen to have a go so that will be a nice road trip.... ;D

Jock

No no no Jock, just scored it this arvo ;D
It was on gumtree last week for about a minute ;D my friend scored it, (the guy who sold it said he later had a call from a bloke at Yass) ;D ;D ;D
My friend has always wanted a 1981 Maico reed gs250 Mega two with compliance, so I just swapped him my spare one(in need of resto).
I am stoked and so is he ;D
-
I saw this bike for sale.
GENUINE low hour bike.
Very nice pick up there, it's never been 'ridden-in-anger' has it.....
8) 8) 8)
-
Yes you are right Jock, the frame hasn't been touched up or anything, he has only been running it in for me :D :D ;D
I am feeling privileged.
-
I am feeling privileged.
And so you should be.
You don't come across a buy like that every day.
What year model is it? 1989?

-
Yes, 89.
Hey thanks for putting those pics up, I will print them, frame them and put them up, this bike is definitely a keeper.
Country bike too, no coastal convection salt air corrosion 8) I'm excited :)
-
Geez Mick that is special, well done. And look at it this way, you can show the guy from Yass in September ;D ;D
Adam
-
Good score there Mick, it's a gem :), It's an F model which has ADR compliance, they brought out 2 models in 89 & a few years after that, the F & the E,(The brochure is an E model ;)) The E has no compliance,No indicators,A plastic tank,alloy swingarm,different muffler,no oil injection,different suspension specs,different carb?
Nathan will be able to tell us all the differences that I have missed, still a good thing though ;), Ya lucky bugger :)

Adam
Yes Adam, thanks :D what are the chances that it would be anyone KDX lover from Yass, slim, I reckon ;D ;D
I honestly felt bad, him being such an enthusiast and all, yeap, felt that way for at least half a second.
Hey thanks for the info Smed ;) I am thinking the makings of what will be my "modern" :)
And yes, I reckon Nathan will point me in the right direction :)
After the first rego, the FULL annual road rego renewal fee is $260.65 including inspection, CTP, and all up fees.
It equated to over $5,475 a year When I was only drinking a minimum of three largies a day,
I know what I would rather do instead every day ;D :)
I think time to pension of the Suzuki ER :-[
-

Yep.
And that will be the best $260.65 you spend all year.
I can't wait to get my 'modern' and do the same thing.
Cheers
Jock

:) :) :) :) :) yeap
I was hell keen to make it to Canowindra at the weekend, but the man-flu has just smashed me :-[ :'(
At least I am stuck in bed with a big smile on me dial ;D
-
Good Buy Mick D I had one of those a Couple of years ago .it was not in the best
of conditions when I bought it but I still had fun on it .
At stated Murray and the Holbrook MCC put on a good Loop to ride it gets
changed a bit every year but for the better have fun and Enjoy IT..
The Stig
-
Dunno who from Yass rang the seller, but it wasn't me! I'm too poor, anyhow!
Smed's list is pretty much spot on.
F = 28mm round slide carb, E = 35mm Keihin PWK.
F also has a different stator with (I believe) non-adjustable ignition timing and a much stronger lighting coil. E has a conventional type stator.
Also pretty sure that both E & F swingarms are alloy.

Hey what are the odds ;D yes I couldn't afford it either, but I diid have a spare gs250 mega two to swap ;D
Thanks for the knowledge, I am looking forward to catching up and getting some KDX development direction of you,
Cheers :)
PS; that 360 Husky turned out to be a lucky charm,,,,huuummm,,different thread,,,,why not,,,

REMINDER ENTRIES CLOSE 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY WEDNESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2014
Is it ok to enter on the day
-
If you have an MA licence you can enter on the day otherwise you can reserve Rec licence for $25 (non refundable) payable to the account on the entry form, with your name as reference. I've had a few entrants do this as they are not 100% sure they will make it on the day. It puts the onus back on the participant whether to attend or not.
-
Will enter tonight Adam
-
Good stuff Ted. Spread the word to the Heaven crew. It's worth the trip down.

Hi Adam,
to save any issues on the weekend in regards to entry for those who entered via email and bank deposit (as entry on the day is not possible for those without a MA lience), would you be able to provide either an entrants list or receipt of entry via return email ?
Naturally, no one would want to make the trip to cooka to be told we don't have your paperwork/money....
Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Adam I've got a ma lic so I'll c u guys in a couple of weeks

Is there a limit on the number of riders? Any need to pre-enter if we have a full MA licence?
TheDamo tells me he's coming too.
-
Hi Nathan, thought you were going to the Viper ride?
No limit on the number of riders. Entry on the day for MA licence holders is fine.

Doing both. :)
I've made too much noise about pre-95 MX to miss the Pre-00 day.
I've also made too much noise about Pre-90 Vinduro to miss Cookardinia...
;)
-

Everyone that has reserved a licence has paid the $25 fee up front, best you do the same. Get back to me next week when you sought your end out and I'll see if we
have any spare. Best I can do.
-
What numbers are you looking at Adam?
-
Cheers Adam apologies for stuffing about but I cant afford to loose this job currently..times are tight! :-[
sounds like a good roll out anyhow so should be a goodun.
-
No worries 80-85 Husky totally understand your situation. I work most weekends myself because the money is to good to turn down. At the end of the day there's bills to be paid. Funny the only event I've been to this year is the one I'm organising.
-
I think it is 8 more Sleeps
-
Att: All

Four autos in the same place at the same time , well Four autos and Four auto owners in the same place at the same time.
I beleive that to be a very rare Quadrella, it going to be a fun , fun ,fun time
See you guys at about 1.00 pm Saturday
PS: Ted's a queer and should be in his element playing his favoutite tune , "its raining men" around the fire, warm beer in hand, cooking some sausages
-
Bring three sets of tools then EQ leader.
The Husky Guru tells me that when a Husqvarna leaves the Sydney Basin and heads south, several changes of jetting will be required due to the curvature of the earth. And if it heads west to another time zone the timing will have to be adjusted from its standard AEST setting.
I hope you find these tips helpful.
-
Got it Covered for A Husky auto Heading North/West, see you Saturday!!!
-
Oh no. Don't tell me you've joined the EQ's from the Oxford St Club.
-
You`ll still cook me Breakfast, Won`t You??? :-* :-* ;D
-
Adam Can you give me a addrest to put in my Navman/tom tom
will you have signs up on the road.
do we still come into town and turn on to the Air port road ??
-
Dennis there will be a sign at the end of Bahrs road at the T-section of Wagga/ Holbrook Road.
All the details are on the information sheet you downloaded. Put in Bahrs road Cookardinia and you'll see Jeraluen Road.
Heres the link

You don't have to go into Holbrook unless you need fuel or supplies. When you see the new exit to Holbrook near the overpass just exit left, then turn right over the bridge and head towards Wagga.
The track we marked out yesterday is looking really good, the best yet. Can't wait for everyone to come and check our little event. ;)
By far this is the best one yet.

Hi All,
On Sunday Brooksie and I went down to Cooka to start getting 'the spot' ready for this weekends event.
After some typical Brooksie 'fluffing-about' we get to work.
After a leisurely drive, we arrive at Cooka, what a sight, this place is 'sacred'.
(http://vinduro.com.au/images/Cookardinia_Vinduro_1.jpg)
The man loves to mow, so on to the Deutchmesiter and he's away, first cab off the rank, the common area and the parc ferme.
(http://vinduro.com.au/images/Cookardinia_Vinduro_4.jpg)
I get the WR200 ready for it's first outing and set off with a few of the Holbrook MC boys to start marking the track, the marking is hard going. There are lots of trees over the track and in an attempt to lengthen the bush section of the course we traverse the hill side for hours on end. After a lot of work it's done. The best bush section in the events 4 year history.
Next we head 'out-the-back' to mark the BRAND NEW sections, whilst navigating the open spaces at the back of the property I see a ute with a trailer bouncing through the paddocks.... In the trailer is a Deutchmesiter ride on mower and in the passenger seat is a smiling Mr Brooks. They drop him smack bang in the middle of the paddock and he starts mowing madly, this I soon find out is the BRAND NEW section of the track! Personally mown by Adam Brooks! Special indeed....
Pretty knackered by this stage so I head back to the bush section and remove any dangerous obstacles, after being at it all day my gloves blow out, big holes in them! The rocks, sticks, etc have taken their toll. So the bush section is pristine and ready for a good thrashing come the weekend. I head back to base camp and everyone is on deck, we chew the fat briefly, pack up and commence our 6 hour drive home.
The parc ferme ready for the fine machinery to roll in.
(http://vinduro.com.au/images/Cookardinia_Vinduro_3.jpg)
All packed up, ready to hit the frog and toad.
(http://vinduro.com.au/images/Cookardinia_Vinduro_2.jpg)
-------------------------------------------
The track is going to be a cracker, there are some great new sections out the back and we have tried to utilise as much of the bush section as possible. I know we said this last year but this year it is the best it's ever been.
-------------------------------------------
Cheers
Jock

This looks like it 'll be more fun than Vandalising a Golf course ;D

-
I must say a big thankyou to Murray, Darcy, Mark, Don, Derick and all the other Holbrook members that came out to the property for the working bee. Without your help we'd still be there marking it out.
Thankyou.
-
It looks fantastic!
I'm looking forward to not having to ride in dust and ruts!
See you Friday afternoon/ evening.

Wayne,
There might be some dust but no shitty ruts.
Hopefully we get a drop of rain this week to keep the dust down, it's been a bit dry out there of late.
See you Friday.

I'm looking forward to not having to ride in dust and ruts!

Maybe we could get about 5,000 truckloads of rocks brought in too?

Heading down to Cooka tonight. Just some updated info on how to get to Cooka.
All the details are on the information sheet everyone downloaded with the entry forms. Put in Bahrs road Cookardinia and you'll see Jeraluen Road.
Heres the link

There will be a sign at the end of Bahrs road at the T-section of Wagga/ Holbrook Road which is approx 20kms from Holbrook.
You don't have to go into Holbrook unless you need fuel or supplies. When you see the new exit to Holbrook near the overpass just exit left, then turn right over the bridge and head towards Wagga. If you are coming from Victoria follow the bypass around Holbrook and take the exit left onto Wagga/Holbrook Road.
There is pretty good mobile coverage on the property. If people get lost you can reach me on 0409 125 477
Please remember there is no access to the property before 4pm on Friday and the gate will be locked after 8pm on Friday and Saturday night.
There will be toilets on site, and the food van on Sunday with lunch available for those who wish to purchase.
Hope everyone has a safe trip and I'll see you down there.

I've only been here for a couple of hours, but the vibe is GOOD. The word is that they're expecting nearly 100 entries, which would make it the second biggest vinduro in the country by my reckoning.
Word has it that the loop is great. Apparently a bloke on an 84 CR500 and KTM151 are tearing the place apart.
Dennis may be looking for another Harrow-style DNS...
-
Keep an eye on Ted, the Manly pigeons lost last night, being the VMX terrorist he is he will be going around beheading people... ;D He also reckons he has found top gear in his KX500 for the first time.
-
mick d 's got a new mantra apparently,"don't stray from the given path", ;D, :P
-
That was awesome!
Big thanks to everyone who made it happen, and particularly to:
The Damo for providing the sleeping quarters and bike cartage;
Patrick for giving me some fuel after I, er... had a temporary shortage.
Two of the best days of dirt biking I've ever had. It's been a very big weekend and I am completely, utterly and totally shattered - but totally worth it!
-
By far THE BEST Vinduro I've been to. Grassy loam single trail, a mowed grass track and tapped out KX500 open paddocks. Only had one heart in mouth moment. Was flying down a straight out the back on my YZ 465 when the guy in front slows down and moves to the left, beauty i think, hes letting me through. Wrong. Hes slowing for the dip in the creek bed. Too late for me, big twist of the throttle and pull the front up. After a 50 meter tank slapper it straightens out and off i go. I soon learnt where that section was after that. ;D
This course had everything. Virtually unlimited riding time, no BS rules, no pressure and lots of really good giveaways. Thanks Adam, Jock, Holbrook MCC and Co, youse all did a fantastic job.
-
Hi All,
Pretty knackered after a huge weekend.
Top effort by all, thanks to everyone that made it such a good weekend.
I've got a few thousand pics to sift through, will probably end up with a hundred good ones, only the best quality ones will make the cut!
Here's the shot I was speaking about yesterday of Bill Rummery, Bill won the 'Biggest Air' award for this leap of faith on his IT490.
(http://vinduro.com.au/images/Cookardinia_14/Cookardinia_Bill_Rummery_IT490.jpg)
More pics to come.

If anyone finds the front wheel I somehow managed to leave behind, there's a reward offered...

Amaqzing Weekend, a big thankyou to the organisers, the property owner, the officials and the medical crew.. everyone who made this event as great as it is !!
I completed 5 laps on the DT, only 2 drops on hill climbs and absolutely thrashed the old girl until I physically just couldn't do it anymore.

Adam, Jock and the Holbrook MCC
Great camp site and a very nice environment.
We arrived Saturday afternoon to a beautiful clear blue sky and 19.0 c, the Gadge had the site set up and we were just in time for the afternoon session. We were very quickly into the white attire of all good husky gentlemen to cut a few laps and get the eye in . We had a nice dinner, a few laughs, watched half of On any Sunday under the most magnificent clear star filled sky , a few beers and then into to bed very early in anticipation of a good old ride with the lads on Sunday.
Well , we wake at 6.00am to a perfect day break / sun rise , a good breakfast and some nice tea.
We were first out at 9.04am (who's counting) and the trail was again sensational. The trail had formed some great ruts which allowed you to rail some of the tighter corners in the woods but sometimes you got caught out if you were not concentrating and hit a dust berm which as we all know results in a good old forced rest. I did notice a few of my riding buddies taking quite a few of these little rests. "Not me though" as I learn my lessons well and saved mine for some well practiced down hill off camber gymnastics. I must say , I was cheated by my riding buddies many times on the grass track but as you know the good guy always prevails , particularly after he works out a better cheater line.
Great job fellows for setting us a fabulous flowing course . The first three sections were good and very flowing but the last half form the grass track to the main control was sensational.
Right down to the light breeze that cleared the dust in sections and allowed you to maintain enough vision to stay on the husky freight train.
We look forward to next year's event

If anyone finds the front wheel I somehow managed to leave behind, there's a reward offered...
Nathan
Suzuki rim? Tymmes had it and was going to give it to Jock or Adam.
What a sensational weekend, thank you to all involved ; the Land owner, and the Cooka organising crew.
I loved the grass track section Brooksie. :) Long live the slasher / mower.

Wheel kindly handed in by Brian.

We brought it back to Sydney, it's now in 'The Shed of Despair' (at Brooksies), it's like a black hole that shed, things go in (22 bikes) and never come back out. I put your rim close to the front of the shed, it will be safe there and should be able to make a run for it before Mr Brooks attempts a 'quick-rebuild' on it.
Cheers

That's the one. Gold DR200 rim.
I'll hit up Maicoman next time I'm in that part of the world.
Thanks to everyone who saved it from my stupidity.

.... some well practiced down hill off camber gymnastics. I must say , I was cheated by my riding buddies many times on the grass track but as you know the good guy always prevails , particularly after he works out a better cheater line.
Oh yes, Team Dustvarna NSW.
I made the mistake of letting them past on my second lap. It really is remarkable that they can kick up so much dust while riding so slowly - I initially thought that they were dragging their feet along the ground, but apparently not.
Then I made the mistake of following their fearless leader up the long hill after the dam, thinking he had some inside knowledge of a sweet line. Halfway up, I realised that he didn't - his journey up the hill was an odd mix tank slapping and swapping... I later came to the conclusion that 99% of the wild and crazy lines you see at a Vinduro belong to him.
Then I saw their (other) fearless leader dragging his bike off a large dead log, about three metres off the course...
They went back to their camp after this, presumably for a Bex and a good lie down.
;D
-
Nice one , young man
"Let them past " 8) , the way you were wobbling through section one we all thought we were about to drop to new low and dustinate a diasabled rider.
"and" I was just resting on that large log , although my front wheel was firmly stuck on the other side of the other side of the log , its still counted as resting.
Great week-end and see you round like a triangle.

there may be some photo evidence of said riding style ... ;D ;D

Sharing is caring Tony! 8)

Aah some good calls there Nathan!
I too was amused by "The Three Husqateers"...
-
Turn it up "boys"
One of you wants to be fast and the other is a jet that just flat out punishes any machine into submission.
Its time that you both fessed up your love and want for the marquee brand . you want it we know you want it and you will be so much better for it.
-
Even if hell freezes over it will NEVER happen.
-
Hey Billy
The greens say that hells running out of heat.
Its only a matter of time Brother before you make the switch.
Hell , the scrap value of the barrels on those thing would enormous , so you could buy into the marquee team no problems.
No wonder the manufacturing nation nearly went broke , most of the valuable metals and other raw materials went into making those barrels.

Was riding along minding my own business when three Huskys go past then a KTM Ok i think this wont take long Sure enough the Euros break down and they have a pow wow while the KX 5 roosts away
-
We had already caught you we stopped to give you a head start we also thought it would be better if we tied the KTM to the back of the husky as an anchor so we could slow the Husky wolf pack down so the Kawasaki could keep up!
-
The bikes that did the most laps were all Japanese... Not sure if its because of their superior reliability, or because nobody wants to ride an old Euro bike for more than one lap/45 minutes at a time.
-

The Euros are appearing humorous ;D
-

Yes.
This included....
First place (14 laps), Second Place (12 laps), and four people tied for 3rd place (10 laps each), and yes... all were Japanese bikes!
:D
-
Don't know if you realised Nathan but when you past me at the start you bumped into me as I was looking the other way for the rest of the wolf pack as you knocked me my hand was still on the throttle next thing I know I am careering down the track one handed on the back wheel wondering what was happening!
-
Serious?
Sorry.
-
Although, this does seem to be the way you ride about 90% of the time:
.... I know I am careering down the track one handed on the back wheel wondering what was happening!

The other 10 per cent I'm laying down!!
-
I noticed in the pickies that the Hoous qarna boys went around the stick laying across the track, you can see where the Nip bikes where jumping over it. ???
-
Serious?
Sorry.
I wondered what happened there, I almost fell off laughing so don't be sorry!
Congratulations on receiving the craziest rider award ( most laps) :)

Well to be sure to be sure,
I can tells ya the one I found whilst forging a new overtaking lane in the long grass was no stick ;D

Dam those 500RE's haul ass when their screaming in fourth hole, very nice song
but to move out in the long grass at high speed to over take,,,,,,,was foolish but it was fun ;D
So much fun, great weekend, save me a spot for next year 8)
with the only death being a donut, pretty happy with that 8)

Well, he didn't hit anything that time, so not really... :D
(Something about throwing stones and glass houses is important here...)
-
Talk about putting your best foot forward!
Everywhere you look the place is picture perfect. Including the photographic evidence that Odd1 was trailing behind :)
-
I think not I was coming round to lap him!
-
that's not Odd1, the back wheel isn't 3 foot in the air and 2 foot off line :o
-
You put you left foot in and you shake it all about,
You do the Husky pokey and that's what it's all about...
-
I was looking for something to bounce off or get stuck on ,but luckily there was nothing within 3.0 metres of the course at this point. I was just practicing my special side kick to fend of Stephen or Wayne.
I was most certainly in front for that "whole " lap , well some of the way, OK that corner and uphill section , maybe . It can be hard at times to stay in front of my two riding buddies as they both go "sort of OK"
(i live in a glass house and all my windows were broken a "long time ago" 8)

You do the Auto wheelie pokey , get behind in the dust , get stuck on stuff and that's what it's all about...

To carry on from the event report and a few photos i have an engine report on the mighty 1979 390 auto i rode at the Cookadinia vintage enduro. On the Thursday night before the event we fitted a N.O.S clutch pack and N.O.S first gear clutch... drum and shoes. On Saturday afternoon and until half a lap before our finish on Sunday afternoon man this thing hooked up like it was on steroids , however i made a rooky mistake when i replaced the clutch packs , i did not replace the securing screws in the main clutch drum.As result of this when had a main clutch failure resulting in just enough power transmission to get to the finish on what was our plnnned last lap, with a few cross country short cuts.Man this thing vibrated when this let loose. Cruised back to the pit and we had a great laugh as it sat there and idled like vibrating madman .Easy fix and something to do next Saturday afternoon. Check out the photo's sheared the suckers right off.

Thanks Pete
I just could not get the photo to load to the site

Can't put up any photos of my Jap bike internals as I have no reason to pull it apart ;D

One Teddy , it takes about 1.5 hrs to dismantle a manual transmission. (which you probably cant do because your only own a hammer , nail gun and assorted plastering tools)
Two Teddy , you usually need to remove the engine from the frame. (refer to above)
Three Teddy , the auto had a little problem and that took about ten minutes to dismantle and will probably take 1/2 of an hour to repair and assemble.
Four Mr Teddy you're a shit stirrer and i love it . (you would have loved how this thing was vibrating''''') 8)
-
All that damage in three laps, Shoey!? Damn!
-
You have credited me with one extra lap , cheering

They where fast Laps !

How long was the loop ?
What was the most number of laps completed on the day ?
Where are all the photos?

I was just registering on Saturday afternoon (Honda XL350 1973) when I saw all the Husky boys rock up to the pits, I had a flash back to when I had my Husky, at the same time Damo from Yass was registering and said "I had one of those (Husky that is)" and my reply was so did I, I had a Husqvarna WRXC 500 2 stroke with a six speed box, it was my first step from having Jap bikes and indulging into this new faster world of European bikes. We'll F%(K that every time I took it for a ride the damn thing had an issue, whether it was brake related, lever, gearbox or whatever it always had an issue, but krickey it flew in a straight line when it did go. With regards it really pissed me off.
In your words "Easy fix and something to do next Saturday afternoon" well it's a good thing the Vinduros aren't held every few weekends as you'd miss them doing easy fixes (LOL)

Nathan did the most laps, he peddled the KDX constantly to get 14 done. That boy needs therapy.
The loop was shorter for some. A really nice flowing track, very enjoyable.
Jock and Tony (and others) must have taken a million photos between them, you had to keep your elbows up the whole way around the course :) I'd love to see some more......

"You peddling a JAP bike" , turn your back on that dark thought ,look to the light 8)

Yeap prizes were given out for most laps with Nathan on 14 laps, Alan Rich on 12 and 4 people tied for 3rd with 10 laps each.
I had 2 guys, one with a digital trip meter another with analogue both came back with 15kms.
I spoke with Murray yesterday, he was out at Cooka checking out the place and he said track held up pretty well with a few powdery corners but all good. Shore as
shite he tells me it's currently raining and they had an inch or two overnight. Would have been awesome if Cooka was this weekend but unfortunately my crystal
ball was not working properly when I set the date.
Anyway Murray is keen to go again for 2015.
