Sorry Josh We at VTR Have Been out of town / out of State too
for a week or two we all have been getting ready and riding at Harrow .
And Yes we have been a bit slack Sorry ..
But if you have sent a Email to [email protected] left your Name and if you needed a Event Licence then all
is Good Greg will be Sending out the Map on how to get to Vinduro at the end of this week ..
And yes all paper work that you will need to fill in is at the Vinduro and we will get you to fill all that in on the Day..
The Main thing is that if you need a Event Licence that we will have one for you as we do not want you to come all the way to
the Vinduro and NOT have a Event Licence waiting for you ..
So Josh if you don't get anything Let Me know and I will Fix it ...
In the meantime get the IT full of fuel
-Braze the split in the pipe header back together
-Check/repack the wheel bearings
-Change the damn kicker seal
-Pull the shock out and take it to get serviced (new oil/regas)
-Change the airbox over to the un-butchered one you have
-Change the gearbox and fork oil
-Clean the results of a dozen or so rides out of the air filter
and get your swag ready ...
I just seen and read your other Post ( Topic: Semi-budget vinduro basher, 10/'81 IT250J) sum Grate photos .. ;D ;D

I'm bringing a mate and his other half along with me, they decided a weekend spent watching old bikes fanging/putting/both around seemed like fun, even with the fact that they'd have to spend an hour each way getting up close and personal in my old single cab Navara ::) ;D
We'll be leaving Forbes by 8 tomorrow morning, hoping to be there by 9-9:30. See y'all then :)
-
Holy sheet! Talk about perfect conditions - that was amazing.
If you're thinking about going tomorrow, DO IT!
-
Another awesome weekend with vtr a invasion of green pickles :o ;D let the good times pickle

I think the bar man , "I mention no names" ( 8) Dennis may have been a bit generous when mixing the rums. Having said that , best Rum and cokes I have had in a long time
I was definitely feeling very dusty on Saturday morning , ;D

One word to describe the latest VTR Vinduro "FANTASIC". As promised the loop was made up of the cream of the last Canowindra Vinduro plus a bit more, (thanks to the generousity of land owner Pete & Steve) which added up to about a 17km loop enjoyed by all who attended. Once again the VTR club spirit thrived, with some fun video screenings & lots of laughs round the aweone communal fire on Saturday night. Thanks goes out to all who put time & effort into organising & preparing yet another great event, the smiles on everyone's faces at the end of each loop says it all!
PS - Happy Birthday for today to B490
Cheers B+M

on a brighter note , VTR's somewhat blemished organizational reputation for running chook raffles remains at an alltime high,for the benefit of those who did not attend,the raffle ticket check box was not ticked, :P
i don't want a pickle,just wanna ride my motorsickle,

Love to read a Ride Report .....as we did not do two many Laps on Real Bikes
only on Honda CT 200 when we arrowed the loop and when we had to Pick them all back up...
-
Weather was nice, bike ran like a Swiss watch despite the iffy front brake and the fact that I rode my first lap without even enough air in the tyres to register on the gauge of the pump I borrowed... ;D
The loop was fun, in that it was completely different to anything I have to ride at home. I heard someone describe it as "nice and flowing"; I'm sure it was, for them. To me it was 17km of wrestling my sky blue three-wheeled shopping cart around what is one of the tougher loops I've ridden on whilst trying to avoid using the front brake too much (the front dives like a soccer player when you squeeze the front brake hard enough for it to actually be useful; new shoes are in order) or cooking the rear.
I'd like to qualify that by pointing out that almost all of the riding I've done has been in open paddocks, on car-width firetrails or on a motocross track; there's SFA singletrack where I am, and what is there is pretty open.
I enjoyed it, but I don't ever really get to ride the sort of terrain covered by the loop, so it was tough going for me. I was also crook, so that took a fair bit out of me.
All in all, it was a pretty good weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I'll be back for the next one for sure.

The best loop yet for canowindra imo, actually it's basically the same loop but aging well.
It definitely kept you busy that's for sure.
Good mix of everything to test the spirit..I noticed alot of trees missing bark .

Love to read a Ride Report .....as we did not do two many Laps on Real Bikes
only on Honda CT 200 when we arrowed the loop and when we had to Pick them all back up...
Imagine this , its this time last week and you're are dreaming about the week-end coming up at Canowindra.
What's the weather going to be like , is it going to be dusty , is it going to muddy , is it going to be Rocky.
You get there late Friday, there's a welcoming raging big fire to keep you warm , but there's no stars in the sky , its a bit damp and its freezing cold , "you think" is it going to rain.
You get set , hop into the swag and off to sleep you go
Then bam you wake in the morning and look out to the horizon and that's what you see.
Up you get , full of anticipation have some breakfast ,on with the riding gear , go to riders briefing and then all of a sudden you're out there on the trail.
As you leave the check point you are pointed up a slight hill and off you go. It all starts with a short flowing trail section and then straight into some flowing work in the woods and then some trail time in a brand new section , once through the new section you dropped into the excellent trails on Peters property , again with some work in the woods and fab. trail sections.
As the day progressed the weather got even better "if that is possible" and the trails did the same. There were great little ruts to ride through the corners , the woods sections were just gold and the dust was very minimal. There was a great mixture of sections to keep the riders concentrating for the whole loop.
This is scenario the VTR team strive for and last week-end the stars aligned and that in my opinion was the ideal outcome. Thanks to the Land owners and the VTR team for their dedication , hard work and holding this fabulous event.
Looking forward to the next chapter in the VTR event book.

Hay Thanks for the feed back .The More the Better...
Feed Back is Important to Us at VTR It Help us to Plane a loop..
Its alway a hard job when marking out a loop and to work out what to put in and what not ..
You Must think of all Riders some it may be the there first Vinduro and some maybe a well seasoned Rider .
What also make it hard is the train or the property that you have to work on.
This year from a small Buladealer to Nimmitabel to Yass to Putty and Canowindra ...
Not one place the same ..
But we have learn some thing and I think we are getting it close what most of you want ..
And yes we still are learning ...
and I hope you enjoy the Photos as we try to bring the Fun and the ride back to you hear on Ozvmx ...

Well said Dennis.

I reckon that was the best Vinduro course I've ever ridden, for one simple reason: it was FUN.
It was neither ridiculously easy, but it certainly wasn't hard to get around.
The people that set the course didn't get sucked into the idea of making it less fun, for the sake of making it "challenging". Nor did they get sucked into making it boring for the sake of making it "easy".
It flowed, without just being a blast along a fire trail.
It wasn't whooped out/rutted/rocky/gnarly crap.
The weather was very kind.
The first half of the loop was close to riding nirvarna, and the second half was merely great... :)

Sounds awsome!...wish I went, im jealous.

Nothing happened to Mark.
Unfortunately Marks wife slipped over at home , maybe on some building material and sustained a compound fracture to the wrist, This required immediate surgery , so Mark had to turn around almost immediately on arrival at Canowindra and return home.

Thanks for the lap , that was super great fun 8)

Further to Dennis's comment above.
The brakes on the auto are usually really good as we have spent considerable time making sure they are.
About one Km into the loop filmed by Steve the back brake starting working extra well , almost as good as disc, but was dragging badly for few seconds after each application.
Rather than stop and mess around we continued through the loop to the end.
We inspected the auto immediately after we stopped. I was thinking that maybe the actuating rod from the brake pedal or the actuating arm on the brake hub backing plate had been bent by a rock or something . What we found was a small rock had become lodge in the frame loop adjacent to the brake pedal and it was lodged directly behind to adjustment bolt. (First time I have seen this happen and we have had Husky's for as very long time)
This resulted in the brake being almost on and dragging most of the way and this explained why the rear brake was working so well and very sensitive.
When I was showing Dennis how the small rock had become lodged we were checking it out and the rear backing plate and surrounding hub area were so hot that you could not touch them. Later inspection also revealed that rear brake shoe linings had delaminated from being so hot.
So there you go.
Wish I could get the rear brake to be that sensitive all the time.
Oh , and another wish , I wish I could go back to Canowindra this weekend and ride again. The weather forecast is even better this week-end
