UK scene

[LWC82PE]

After picking up the latest couple issues of Classic Dirt Bike Magazine (which i have to buy direct from UK as no local newsagents stock it), one thing has been become very clear to me. The vintage/classic scene must be very big over there. There seems to be an endless amount of vintage specific advertisers in this magazine, with more jumping on board in each new issue.

I also became aware how their MX classes are a little different to ours. And they have what they call an ‘EVO’ class which covers non twin shock bikes from the 80's up until 31 Dec 1989. They also seem to cater for and appreciate all classes and disciplines and are certainly embracing the bikes from 85-89

Thants just my observations

We know a few guys in the Scottish Twinshock series.  They have some awesome natural terrain tracks with great dirt (when it isn't raining!)

Have a look at the photo galleries.  Some interesting metal over there.

Looks like they ride moderns as well on the same day.

  The uk has the biggest Twinshock only events in the world . The first ever "Twinshock" only event was january 1991 at Corscombe Dorset {right on my doorstep}   Farleigh castle events have 350 twinshock solos/sidecars on the day,  but as the old saying goes bigger aint always better

Not a fan of moderns running on the same day/track?

Not particularly. Doesn't get me all angry either, i would just rather see another vintage class on the same day is all.
