Baruffaldi tear-offs

[gnomester]

I have listed a lucky find of a lens and tear-offs that came with a set of goggles I bought back in 1978.

Alas the goggles (in poor condition) perished about ten years ago when part of a roof in a shed where they were stored collapsed and allowed the weather to destroy what was left of them.

the listing is on Ebay....

TEAR OFF WILL BE BRANDED AS BEING BAND SOON , YOU WON`T BE ALOUD TO USE THEM.

[LWC82PE]

why? where have you got that information from?

[GD66]

'Cos cockies don't like their sheep/cows/stock gobbling indigestible tearoffs any more than fish enjoy getting tied-up in 6-pack plastic rings. And it's fair enough. If they're happy to let us get in and carve up their paddocks, it's the least we can do.

AND I AGREE

[gnomester]

OW!!... I do hope that someone who collects this style of MX memorabilia will be the lucky winner of this auction rather than some evil farmer who, as you suggest, throw these tear-offs to the cows to digest.
It is bloody lucky that I have kept this item intact for thirty years and have not let it fall into the hands of those who would feed plastic to cows.
Gee... complete, intact item that I have saved from being eaten by Grey Kangaroos, Swamp Wallabys, lyre birds, and if it did go South.... Emperor Penguins 

Fair dinkum If you wish to dominate how my free market sales will pan out then ... expect a bill for my loss of market !!

thats crap they were bringing that rule in around 2 years ago and never did because there were to many opposed to it

Caps I have viewed a sup. reg requirement for a  virgin grass meeting that stated ,ALL rubbish in "particular plastics, oils and glass and cardboard" must be removed from designated meeting area and to 200 metres from boundary markers. It stopped the meeting. Tear offs are rubbish and a toxic pollutant to livestock and animals. Dumping and not removing our race day shit is common practice, we have to change this attitude now. Ever left a carton or bag full of garbage beside a tree or bin ? We have to take all our shit back home.

I agree with banning tear offs too. If you've ever seen an animal in severe pain from having plastic stuck in their intestine (my dopey blue cattle dog Wayne) you'd understand where the rule comes from.

[NR555]

If you're racing any grasstrack this year, you'll most likely be asked not to use tear offs.  

Down here in Vic, Barrabool has had this rule for years & you definitely can't use them at the Vic Classic rounds at Mirboo Nth or Boags (both are temporary grass tracks in paddocks).

Rolloffs aren't that bad.. just a pain in the arse to clean between races.

[JohnnyO]

You are not allowed to use tearoffs in the national off road series for the past couple of years.

Apologies to gnomester for this thread jack,  hope ya find a buyer/collector.
