Yeah mate, same from me, you've done a brilliant job. It's a crying shame about your apalling politics though.

Thank you one and all for the kind words. I often get to the point of wanting to pull the plug but then I see all the characters, banter and wealth of info and can't bring myself to do it.

Even if some of you make worse political choices than I do.

I haven't been around here much lately, but would like to thank you Grahame for  having this valuable site. There is a lot of knowledge here that can only come from grey hair. You can pretty much get an answer from 'The best shares to invest in' to 'How to get a welded sprocket off'.

I don't race, so don't care for the politics. But as an old dirt bike enthusiast and compulsive tinkerer, this site has been the most valuable resource on the www.

Cant remember how long ago it was when I tripped over an aussie website with heaps of guys all yapping about old dirt bikes and all of the information was first hand and I thought this place looks okay. Much better info here than on any of the US websites.

The information is second to none and so are the members in general but keeping it all running seamlessly even after the Turks  fired a few broadsides, is Graeme.

 Every team needs a leader and you sir are a bloody legend of a leader.
 This place wouldnt be half as good without you.

thankyou for your time , effort and patience.
cheers.

Thank you Graeme for your patience, understanding, hard work keeping us all in trim and being a controlling body for this site for your input into making ozvmx work over the years, you should be very proud of it and yourself.

Nice one Woody. If ya can't beat them by fair means... The funny thing was, on a 1975 RM125 with me at the helm, there were still a couple of blokes on moderns I could dice with in Over 35s. I think that just shows that at the back of the field, it's not the machinery holding us back.

Jeez I dunno mate, have you seen her ?


Actually we had a bit of a fundraiser for the forum a while back, now might be the time to get the lads to kick the can again, Graeme : I'd gladly cough up again. In spite of the faecal agitators it remains a must-see every day I jump on the keyboard.

Call me cynical, but something about that offer suggests it may not be all that you dream it might be...

A 'few' years ago when I was in my very early 20s, my neighbour was an Eastern European bloke in his early 60s. One day, he had a big shouting match with his wife - one of those full-on barneys that leaves you wondering if you need to call the cops, and you really don't want to be anywhere near.

Once it began to settle down, he poked his head over the fence and said in his thick accent "this wuman give me shits! You boyz want free wuman?".
We politely demurred and he disappeared.
A few minutes later, his wife poked her head over the fence. In her thick accent, she asked "you boyz wunt free man?".

A unappealing as his offer was, her's was even less so.

And we didn't even administrate a VMX forum!

Sounds scary Nathan. And I'll politely turn down Sicko's offer, as enticing as it was.

Tell you what though, anyone who wants me to ride their bike, just give me a shout. I'll ride anyone's bike.

Ok. mine anytime Graeme, remember to bring a friend for the sidecar and it's definitely  not for modern SX tracks, lest you want to be crippled um   quicker... ;)
Upsides , don’t need to carry paddock stand, has electric start (with kickstart or push/bump backup), is a pre75 That has a legal front disk brake,  room on sidecar for an Esky of beer, gorgeous women seem to like it.. if it breaks ya just weld,wire, tape or bodge it up as per it's whole existence, degenerate weirdos seem to like it, you don't have to balance it and try to pull down the front end at same time when tying it on a trailer, matter of fact you have to pull down the front end!!! Cheers Tim754 

(and it's a neat 944cc powerplant I am pretty certain ;)*)  then again it may be the 932cc one or the 1046cc variant or heaven forbid one of my minuscule 840cc  efforts..

*Yep I cannot for certain remember which one I put there last... :o
