Hi all,
I'm in the final stages of getting the 2016 Bendigo Motorcycle Club Vintage Pre 92 Enduro sorted out. This event will be held at Wedderburn Victoria on Saturday 11th June.
The Vintage Enduro is on the Saturday and on Sunday BMCC are running an 8 hour teams of 4 modern pony express, riders are welcome to enter this event if they have any energy left after Saturday.
More information will be posted shortly, although the format will be similar to last years event, keeping with the rolling vintage 25 years it's now Pre 92.
Cheers, Pete

Was a fantastic event last year, I'm very keen to go back again.
-
Temping
-
Is it the same track as last year?
-
Yes Curtis, same venue as last year.
-
would be nice to fire the 510 around that track. will put it in the diary
-
Definitely a happy hunting ground for big bikes. Had my 200 pinned in top gear multiple times per lap last year...
That said, it was comfortably won by an 84/85 XR250.
-
I'd be keen to do this as a team, reckon my 99 WR200 could be considered a "flow on" model ??? They were around in 1991!! ;)
-
It was a fun event last year, so if I can make it I'll be there again.
Will the vintage enduro be the same as last year i.e. teams of 2, ironman, divided into classes, etc?

Approx 6 weeks to go until this event in Wedderburn VIC. It's only $60 for a 5 hour vinduro or $90 if you want to test the old body and machine in the pony express (only $35 if you have a ma licence). Damn good value.
Time to give the old pre82 or pre92 a once over.
Here's a clip of the track in 2015 after some sick single and a great open flat track. It will be the same venue.

This is BendigoMCC second vintage enduro at wedderburn and with support it will continue. No bullsh*t, reasonable cost and a great track for old bikes.
Keep in mind you can camp and watch the moderns on Sunday.
Who's going?
-
Can you enter on the day
-
I am waiting for details Ekka, however last year we could enter on the day and assume it will be the same. I will confirm asap.
-
There's no pre entry this year, just enter on the day.
DIRECTIONS: Bendigo -> Bridgewater 37km - 20mins…. Bridgewater -> Inglewood 9kms – 8 mins
Inglewood -> Wedderburn Track 21kms - 15mins… Track not long past Inglewood/Korong Vale Rd – Venue on right coming from Bendigo
-
Thanks Tony
-
This event is one month out, how are preparations going. So even if your ride is a Honda Dax, just as long as your ride is pre 92, bring it along.
If you have a show pony, bring it along, it's great to see these restorations in the flesh, so load up the trailer.
Cheers Pete

Maintenance time for the PE's, some new fork seals and oil to make the ride smooth at Wedderburn.

Quick re spray to one of the fork tubes that got scratched at Tallarook last year and ready to go.

600 is almost ready not sure how much the body is thou ???
-
Don't worry about fitness Ekka you can kick back after it and have a few cold cans, camp the night and watch or enter the 8 hour the next day with the crazy modern blokes.
Anyone interested in riding the pony and doesn't have a partner, just show up and a partner could be arranged.
The vintage track should be around a 20min a loop, I'm heading up there this weekend so i should have a report on the track.
The modern 8 hour loop is apparently around 50mins on a modern bike.
Cheers Pete
-
a good condition pre 80 should give most of the moderns a scare up there.

Well to see an XR 250 clean up last year was impressive, clean consistent riding pays off. The small bikes go well in the tight single track stuff, but Wedderburn has some nice open areas with long straights where your flat out in top gear and big open sweeping corners. Something for everyone.

Clean, consistent, and damn fast!
I've been beaten like that more than once in my time, but not by someone on a bloody XR250... :)
The big XR will be a lot of fun if you can keep it flowing in the tight stuff. Can't imagine a better bike for the "aircraft landing strip" parts on the back of the course.
-
You will have to have a re match Nathan, i hope you and Rod are looking at having another go this year.
-
I'd love to, but life is firmly in the way.... :(
-
Rods just done up an old mini minor which means he has done a lot "walking home" so he is very fit. if he shows up expect to see his dust a lot... ;D
-
Just pulled the 465 out of the shed and it started first kick (as expected from a yamaha ;D).
I'm ready and hanging out for next weekend.

What a great day at Wedderburn for the modern 3 hour yesterday, the track was a bit slick, but as the day went on It just got better. Can't wait to see some old bikes tearing it up this Saturday.

Had ball feelings pretty bugged today and that was after washing the bike
-
Good to see you had a good day, hope you can make it next year with a few mates. I'm still here sitting around the camp fire after sweep riding the modern 8 hour, the track today was excellent, it would have been awesome to have the old bikes today, but that's the nature rolls.
Cheers Pete

It was fun. Cool, sunny and slippery.
