Title: Vinduro - who is going?
Post by: Nathan S on September 27, 2007, 10:24:57 pm: Like the title says...

The Wife and I entered late :-[ but have been allocated #17A and 17B - so I assume there hasn't been a truck-load of entries....

Really looking foward to it.
The DT175 VMXer looks awesome with lights - if there was such a beast as an IT175C, I reckon that it'd look like my bike does (apart from colour).
The 175cc AT1 looks hideous but goes like the clappers (no, really - part of me is in a chest beating mood and wants to take it out for a beserk lap).
The boss is also enthusiastic.

Talk of 'displays' scares me though - the AT1 makes a very strong anti-aesthetic statment... :)

So... who else is going?

The VIPER date was set long before the Vinduro date and maybe next year some cordination on dates will see us all at the 2008 Vinduro. I think most with a vintage bike interest would love to be there, especially all the Victorians, but you can't be in two places at the same time.
Cheers,

Post by: GMC on September 28, 2007, 01:15:32 pm: I'll be going but it now seems that the Zed I was offered won't start so I'll just be a spectator.
Last I heard they had about 50+ entries with some more expected to enter on the day.
I abused Drakie for the date clash & he said he looked on M.A.'s site & the Viper round wasn't listed.

Surely you'll be able to blag a ride on something? Hell, I can answer that: Yes you can - it might be some sort of little 175 Yamaha, but you're more than welcome to take either/both of them for a blat.

And I've gotta say thanks to the forum member who rang me up and offered a bike when he learned of the dramas with Anna's DT175. Thanks Jim, you're a champ. :)

Post by: GMC on September 28, 2007, 10:07:28 pm: Thanks for the offer Nathan. I'm not sure on the format of the event but thought I may be able to scab a ride somewhere.
I was also looking forward to some more photography practice if I can remember to buy a film tomorrow. Back in my day son, our camera's needed bloody film to take pictures.
If nothing else Drakie owes me a ride on his Ossa for the mess it left in my workshop ;D
