[TooFastTim]

Couldn't beat the aussies at cricket so we joined you 

[EML]

The cricket is like watching grass grow-at least the rugby gives us some common ground- SA Aus and NZ Just like VMX-just need to get some sidecar cross in each country to get some real comraderie happening.

[TooFastTim]

No sidecar MX in SA. Isn't now and never has been.

[VMX247]

Hi everyone. Just joined this forum and excited to be racing in WA next year with many thanks to VMX247. Will the Aussie customs let me bring my braai with?

Welcome VMXSA171,
These guys wont tell you the truth that they really cook with gas.Cause the missus(wife) doesn't like the wood smoke,and there is no one to chop the wood either these days           

Good news that you are heading over and I'm sure you will be well looked after, be it by the BBQ or with bike preparations. 
Now we just have to get a few A Graders from the east to come over for a challenge. 
cheers West Oz

Hold on, would not knock the BBQ.  It is a sacred place of secret mens business.  We'll have to put the Boks through a secret initiation ceremony (BYO grog) so they can stand in the circle of silence.  Either that or they can sit with the women and talk knitting.  I am so going to die when Christine reads this!!lol

[EML]

AHHH---- The circle of silence-long after the meal has settled in the belly and there's still plenty of beer in the esky-silent we stand-thinking of something clever to say to the other druken circle standers-dreaming of fast left hander sweepers with a small soft berm on the out side-having found the right gear to promote the right ammount of grip-----going all moist just thinking about it(at the eyes that is)

[Tossa]

See only real men understand, gone moist myself, it's the roost in my eyes that's causing, honest!!lol

[EML]

Dreamers don't get roost in their eyes ya dagg-they're out in front!!

[VMX247]

Dreamers don't get roost in their eyes ya dagg-they're out in front!!

     Glad you where not around the BBQ ,some one may have thumped him one 

[Tossa]

Dreamers don't get roost in their eyes ya dagg-they're out in front!!

You don't understand, me getting the roost from someone is a dream, never get that close!!lol

It's a man thing Alison, especially round a BBQ.  remember your female and never understand!!lol  just as we never understand the ladies, then again don't want to!!lol

Women, can't live with them, and no there is no second line!!!

Thanks Spicydave for the great images.
SA does look a lot like Queensland, even the bikes look like the ones here.
The track what can anyone say, Da Nations quality.

I guess VMX is the same the world over.
