Title: New Vinduro rider from Melbourne
Post by: Jules on March 24, 2015, 07:04:57 pm

Hey crew,

I have recently started riding dirt bikes (long time road rider). I have an '81 XR200R that I have been plodding along in the VERi events the last year or so. I'm also rebuilding an '80 PE175. Not to the immaculate standard I have seen some members achieve, just rebuilding to be reliable in the vinduros (as I tend to drop them a fair bit!).

Checked out the last VMX event at Clarkefield and it looked fun. Wouldn't mind having a crack in the non-competitive session this year. It will be a while yet until I'd be game enough to enter a race, that's for sure. It's entertaining to watch though. For the time being I'm happy plodding along in the vintage enduro events! Might even see some of you guys out there at the Broadford Bonanza in a couple of weeks for the red plate ride on Sunday.

Cheers .. Jules

way to go mate, build up to it slowly as the worst thing you can do is burn yourself out trying to do everything at once.
the PBBB red plate is a great ride, you will have a ball.

Yeah, looking forward to the red plate ride as last year I had not yet registered the XR.

Looking forward to a couple of sessions on the road track on my XS650 on Saturday and a few loops of the enduro track and grass track, but really looking forward to the Sunday ride. Hopefully won't be too hungover but that hasn't stopped me so far!

Thanks and good to see another club up in NSW having fun. Missed Harrow last year but the year before was my first ever enduro. With a bike timed at full advance that did not like starting (too many cooks in the kitchen at rebuild time) it was character building to say the least. Can't wait for Harrow 2015.

Hey Jules, how's it going? We've met at a few VERi events, and no doubt will do so again this year. Maybe a few beers the night before Blackwood again?

I'll keep an eye out for you at the Bonanza.

Hey Tex!

I'm getting bikes ready for next weekend and will be heading up on Friday. Missed you at the Farm ride as I got there late Saturday night.

Catch you for a beer at Broadford. Are you riding on Sunday?

Nah, just spectating again, most likely on Saturday. Could be talked into a beer though.  ;)
