VinduroWA (Vintage Enduro Club of WA)
We are looking for people who are interested in riding their classic bikes in enduro’s or on trail rides. We are looking at forming a club based on that premise. The club is looking to promote the sport of vintage enduro’s and open it to all bikes built prior to 31 Dec 1989, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s we don’t care. There will be no modern bikes. These will be days of fun and occasional competition on DT1’s, Savages, KLX’s, PE’s, WR’s, XR’s, IT’s and exotic bikes like the SWM, Bultaco etc, the bike does not have to be licenced for the road, so you can run your MX bike if you wish. If you‘ve got a bike from the era bring it along. All you require will be the right safety gear, and your bike prepared properly and a sense of humour
We are looking for properties where we can do 10-20km loops and the idea is to conduct social and competitive rides, but basically back in the day rules, the fastest will not always win. We hope for members to arrange and run events, all levels of experience welcome. We hope to hold events that commence about 9am and completed by approx. 2pm with members covering around 100kms or whatever they feel like completing. So if you know of anyone with property or you own property that we might be able to use, please let us know
The club will be affiliating itself with MWA, to ensure insurance cover and regulated meetings. It is hoped to have a social meeting which will involve a ride in the near future to work out whether we have enough members to form a club, and the way ahead.
If interested and wish to be involved please send your details to [email protected] There are no politics involved we just want to have a great time with likeminded people. We would love to hear from you if you have any ideas on the subject.

Great work Tossa,
About time the VINDURO craze hit the far Western state of Australia!
Cheers

40yrs ago my dad and a group of speedway riders formed the Trail and Enduro club over here in the West. Became the largest club in WA within 12 months, because it filled a void. Hopefully we might get as few members ourselves. Would appreciate any info on how you run your events in the East
-
The heaven guys run a good event ,now they have easy and hard section on the course which covers all level of riders ,the 10 to 20 km loops is a good length also they run it as a rec ride to keep the cost down on the riders , as a non competitive event you complete yourself on how many laps you can do . For the event if you do 5 laps you get a bronze sticker ,10 for silver and so on depending on the length of the loop . I hope this helps alittle and all I can say is they are the best fun you can have cheers Ek
-
thanks for that, a really great idea
-
Good News Barry .
I did returned your E-mail back in August did you get it ..My offer is still good .

Yes Dennis, sorry I thought I'd answer it ansd I will be in touch when we get closer and more definite about the club. Just getting expressions of interest at this point in time. Looks like it will be a goer with the response so far
Barry

Jeez, I started work on the Leader of the Opposition for leave passes for Canowindra and Murphys Creek in 2015, and now you throw this in the mix - another potential interstate trip! I'm gonna have to get her a new pergola for the house or a new car or something!
Good luck with the new club, it's a bit of work but ultimately worth it when you hold an event that people enjoy.
Ekka makes some good points. Recreational events are easier to run, and a good way to gauge interest in running competitive events too.
Best of luck, I look forward to reading WA vinduro ride reports here soon.
Tex
-
Way to go. Good on you'se.
Prediction. Vinduro to eclipse VMX in under three years.
-
Thanks for the support. We think we will fill in the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
-
a few blokes i spoke to here in WA are very interested so i am sure the support is there when you have a come try day
-
yeah brent will be in touch soon, trying to find a property at this time
-
It is great to hear you are keen to have competitive rides, sure do wish we had a series of competitive vinduros here in Victoria on private propertys that did not require rego, my bike would get the dust off it in a flash and turning up to ever vinduro race I could possibly get to :-)
What ever you decide to do, good luck with it all.
Cheers Mick.
-
Thanks Dennis for taking the time to pass on the information from the heaven club, cheers mate we'll put it to good use.

when we going out for a scout of the terrain could be interesting as there was an enduro run close by in darkan i rode it a few years back
-
all will be revealed in time "oh grasshopper" That would have been an enduro at Jacksons Farm, that too might be on our list. Some of us are busy working and trying to arrange things at the same time. You will get information about our first ride day I believe will be on the 15/16 Nov. I am a male I cannot multi task apparently. Will you be at Boddington or Bridgetown?

whats this "we" thing
-
i thought i way in the gang do i have to reapply
-
I thought you had you own posse. Once we get things together we'll be having a sleep over and ride so we can chat about direction and places to ride etc. Give me a chance to get things together. We only thought of this 4 weeks ago.
-
i have faith in you but rather sooner than later ;D
-
That looks like a good platform to work from, Barrington. There are mumbles about extending the roadrace track there, also other mutterings which have quietened down more recently about moving the local mx track up there from Stockton Park. The circuit management is very positive about the future, and the age-old problem of NOISE will be a non-event, miles from town and surrounded by trees galore, so you should be good to go. Hats off for getting things under way !
-
you are always welcome Glen, I can show you the WR250, which wasn't as good value as we thought, lot more wrong with it. But will be of great use. Yep very positive reaction from the Motorplex people and we are chasing other land that backs onto it as well, but that's another story. This all started from 8hrs in a van with Nick, 4 weeks ago
-
Club Banner made

Good job Barry.
I'm only new to Vinduro but if you compare bank for your buck against vintage motocross, it seriously kicks butt :)
I'm a Vinduro convert now :)
-
That's what we're trying to achieve here
-
Good on you Tossa for using your initiative,well done.........I guess everyone will looking for Vinduro bikes in WA now.Have already wrecked a couple of good early PE 250s......DOH
-
wish i did not sell that pe 250 for $200 now but who knew :'(
-
I know of a couple of PE175 basket cases here in Bridgetown available for sale. Picked up a IT 175 Yamaha yesterday in Perth had to pay good money for it but it is a dead original third owner bike. When I paid for it and told the owner the club was being formed he said he had had second thoughts about it. Methinks it might me a good idea to grab a bike sooner than later as prices for these bikes will probably rise!!!
Roll on our first gathering in November!!!!! :)
-
Hate to be picky but shouldn't your club logo have a bike with a headlight on it?
Creating a good interesting course will win people over, VERi has a few MX riders come over but we have also pulled in a lot of the more casual trail riders out of the woodwork.
A lot of them aren't into racing and don't want the drama's that go with it.
Our events, while all different have a bit of an adventure atmosphere to them, we have made use of classic Rego to have some events in State Forests making longer events with loops around 50+K's
The longer the loop the less congested it becomes when you have lots of riders.
Chicken/rooster sections work well too, the good riders get a challenge and the less experienced can bypass the difficult sections keeping them happy.
Good luck with it.
-
Each state has different rules and especially the licencing of bike and any event here in the west held on state land must have licenced bikes, so at moment working on private properties with 10-20km loops. But hopefully will be able to put in the great 50km loop. Because we've never had this over here before 98% pre cent of bikes over here aren't register and it's something we'll pursue, once we get going, got to walk before we can run

Hey Barry, are you guys going to do "Vinduro" or just "trailriding"?......Vinduro to me is a race....ie....Vintage ENDURO......all these Eastside clubs are calling there meetings "Vinduro" but in reality are just trailrides on old bikes. The only true "Vinduro" is run by Shutzy at Conondale every year.....what are you guy's doing?....timed events or just wobbling around in the bush?..... ;D....I hear Ali cat will be riding a PE250B..... 8)
-

-

Oh Christ, your not starting on the VERi bashing too are you, ya bloody Homo
You should come down for one of our events, a wobbler like you will be right at home ;D
-
Well Mr Morris, someone had to say it.......you blokes [VERI] are just trailriders on old bikes, not that there is anything wrong with that, infact I will be doing some next year. It's that you guy's give the impression that you are racing which is not the case. At the Cockadoodledoo trailride you could see the blokes on their Husky's [ in the photo's] going around the sticks instead of over them so they obviously where just wobbling around in a paddock trying not to hurt the tyres and tubes.... ;D. Good luck in WA, mix it up but for Christ's sakes make it pre90 to get the max amount of bodies and bikes out there. Cheers, the Qld wobbler.

The PanPac Masters on the Gold Coast is a Mylaps scored competitive Vinduro

Is for anything up to and including pre90. She who will be obeyed did the site, great job to but just needs a little tweaking

You've lost the plot Habib.
Yeah. Make it competitive and behead anybody that doesn't finish on gold. You could get Wiltshire to be major sponsor.
Vinduros are growing at an extraordinary rate, unlike the bikes with numbers stuck on them. The formula is absolutely perfect. No rules, no flag marshalling, no scrutineering, no outside interference, NO BULLSHIT. I say leave it be.
-
I was just pointing out Mustafa that when the name VINDURO is used it makes me think it's a race, there's nothing wrong with the format, just the wording.

We can argue this some more when they add the word Vinduro in the dictionary.
Hopefully next year I may make it up to one of your Vinsprints or Vinharescrambles ;D
Set up a good loop and whatever you call it people will come and come back for more.
-
I'll hold you to that, you might be able to bring up that backlog of QLD orders at the same time.....QLD VINDURO SPRINT...#1 in Australia. 8).....BTW, VINDURO is in the QLD dictionary, you wont find it down your way. :)
-
I think we used to have something like your Qld. dictionary, we called it The Truth (newspaper)
Hows me airbox going?
-
Great, I keep tripping over it, will ring you about it Monday, have 2 days of Road Racing to watch. 8)

Well so far over 45 expressions of interest in the club, not bad for something that came out of alcohol and the National titles in SA, 7 weeks ago. Makes you wonder how many babies were caused by alcohol and MX events. Oh yeah, I can count one!!lol
Now come on just get in touch with Georgina at
http://www.westcoastsafaris.com.au/who
to confirm you're coming on 16th Nov. Yes I already know who has replied, before someone comes on here and tells me "I already registered"
-

Who said nothing good ever came out of booze?! I hope the ride on Nov 16 goes well.

Five weeks to VinduroWA's first event at Kirup in WA's scenic southwest. 15/16th November is the date and Westcoast Trailbike park is the venue, with a camp over on Saturday nite and a ride day on the Sunday. All vintage enduro and trail bikes are welcome, and, if you have not got one, bring your MX bike, (as long as it's Pre 90). The aim of the club is to get back to the way things used to be and enjoy the "scene" and the camerderie of like minded people in a relaxed environment. Checkout the VinduroWA Facebook page for further details and contact information. Now I must get back to the shed and fiddle with IT and watch Bathurst! ;D
-
Looks like we have our first venue for next year a few things to tie up but a very productive meeting with a land owner today. No more info at this point in time, need to get a few ticks in some boxes first, but we are on the way
-
start of the process of incorporation of the name. Time to sit back and watch the paint dry
-
Two weeks before VinduroWA's first official gathering, should be a good weekend for it! Get your act together and get your application into West coast Trailbike Park and be part of WA motorcycling history with the formation of WA's newest offroad motorcycle club. :D
-
Nick - more than likely shall be down for a look - will not have been back in Aus long enough to get bike/trailer etc sorted but hope to see you there.
-
Look forward to catching up mate. I heard you might be back for good, is that true? I will keep an eye out for any prospective bikes for you. I know of a partly built Husky in the hills south east of Perth.
The motor will never give you any grief (last time I saw a picture of it it didn't have a one in it!!) :D
-
Ok this is war, you of little faith. Though i might end up riding a suzuki on the day if I can't find the motor.
I'm just waiting to see you spear off into the bush as you bring yourself into the 20th century on a bike with the gearshift on the correct side (left). Did you see the nice Ossa pioneer one of the guys picked up with a heap of parts.
Will be great to see your fluro clothed body Rossco.
Bring on the 15th (on any sunday) then some fun on 16 Nov
-
Hey Rossco there will be a maico 490 for sale on the day (4700.00) or you can buy my RM250X (2000.00)
-
Good point Barry!! Not too good with the left hand gear changing any more. Might have to slip the 500cc Beeza engine from the JFS into the It!!! ;D
-
Getting serious now. This weekend 15-16 first get together to discuss forming a club. All the relevant paperwork in for incorporation then it will be off to MWA for ratification.
We have received great support with indications of over 50 expressions of interest
So this weekend at http://www.westcoastsafaris.com.au/Park_Intro
We have about 20 people turning up for a ride and discussion. Boith Nick and myself would like to thank all those that have shown a lot of interest in this project. Now it's time to have some fun. Nick on his IT(bets are being taken on stuffed gear changes), me on the Husky (please make the distance) and a fair few other bikes that have been acquired just to go back to riding fun enduro events.
Now let's see if we can make it happen
Barry
-
Well it's just about ready for the weekend. Smoking like a haystack as it clears excess oil. Thanks to Paul Gibbs, Geoff Davison and Russell Speak for all their work. Will do more over the summer. So far 22 riders for the get together all in just 12 weeks when the idea was hatched;
