New Meeting idea for NSW

[VMX247]

add Pre78 but our experience is that riders who start in Pre85 - Pre90 tend to get earlier bikes to have more rides. Look at Hardo who is now looking at Pre75/78 (bless his green heart ) Heaven VMX has not had a Kawa in Pre75/75 for years and 2 turned up this year and Hardo is looking for another!



We are thinking that by starting at EVO for this meeting would present the most attractive classes to spark interest in the Vet riders.

Reverse physcology for pre75..awesome idea..  the class structure looks good,youd have to be aware  that the moderns dont out do the entries on classic bikes though.Also some dads wont bother attending without there kids.Id think Barry "who the heck is Cockle" would of taken his young lad for a ride. 

[Hardo]

LOL Scrivo....

Yes I am still looking for a green one... 

I really do like the way Heaven are looking at ways to gain more exposure/interest and are definitely focussed not just on the now - but are looking into the future. Thumbs up.

I may know of a '75/76 KX400 if you are interested. Unmolested complete bike except the exhaust is toast (it was removed for repairs and the shop doing the work 'lost' it, I kid you not) let me know. You could then come and play with Sean, Scott and I in Pre78 500s  . Hang on that means a 'greenie' will be showering me with sh&t. Nah you don't need a 400

great idea

Well done David Middleton for being the brain child behind this innovation, and to want to name it in the memory of Barry Cockle, a good friend to many riders is a nice touch. Now who do I know, who I can borrow a modern bike from?

[Hardo]

I hear Ando gives them away..... lol

It's early days yet, naming event after Barry cockle is something that is very close to wayne smiths heart as Barry was like a brother to wayne & why wayne is so passionate about getting dargle up & running again, Barry was a regular spectator at the heaven lakes events & said to me that looks like fun & should get a vintage bike to park next to his modern bike, I spoke to Barry about a vintage/ veteran event , which is where the whole idea came from, classes have to be worked out for an even & fair for vintage & veterans alike , hope everyone is keen on the idea as a lot of the friends of barry with modern bikes are, feed back would be great?  cheers middo

Sounds good to me,as I was thinking of selling the modern bike  how about an age limit class from 53 to 54 that should help me out lol.

Do you want to class to go up a year each year on your birthday?

[Nathan S]

Personally, I always hope that an event organiser will run a race for people exactly my age, on bikes of the exact age, model and type as the one I'm riding.
I reckon I could even win that, but the bastards never run it for some reason?!

[worms]

What a great concept,
 if you could run transponders for the bikes, just to give us old fellows our lap times between the old and modern class's would be a heap of fun over a few coldies at the end of racing/riding.

? for the age eligibility guys, am I a carry over model, if I'm 53 but look 60? or better still, ride like I'm 60

I would be in that, no worries, transponder or not.

cheers Worms

[fireyglen]

Oh and I would be happiest if all bikes in my 53-54yo class where 2005 husky te 250s that should narrow the field a bit 

[Ekka]

It would be cool to ride what you rode in the teen years and maybe run a rec ride event bikes up to pre 2000 and see what numbers show and also what eras as well
