Vinduro cut off date?

[EML]

We've just finished unpacking from a Xmas/New year camping trip at a fantastic park about 2.5 hrs south of Brisbane. Got wet and then flooded in, but had a ball riding some new ground. Taught the daughter to ride her  TTR125 and the son rode the XR200 until the shifter shared off. I had to borrow the nephews TS200 after my DR350 wouldn't shift gears after a rebuild(??)
Anyway, the park is called EMU CREEK and is inland from Casino on the Tenterfied rd and has great camping, fantastic aray of tracks (MX and enduro) with easy loops and then some diabolical rock climbs and descents for the braver types. It's a perfect spot for a two day vinduro and would e the spot to get some coverage for this new sport.
Are there many vinduro types that could make it to the location for such an event??
Check it out at emu creek .com(google)

Gee sounds like a good place with 3 mx tracks to ride on as well. Too bad the council has made them close temporarily (hopefully). I would go the 2.5 hours and give it a go.

That's news to me so I will follow it up today.
Yes it is well worth the drive.
We had some fun getting out over the floodway to the camp ground and I suspect he has to apply to the council to fix it.
We had to put Debbies Swift onto Popeyes bike trailer and drag it out with Blairs Patrol.

theres also another park pretty much next to emu creek its called rover park its pretty good also 2 mx tracks kids tracks good camping cabins on site vans free firewood and about half the price of emu creek some pretty good hill climbs.cost $90 for 2 days plus camping for 6 people 4 bikes and 1 quad would have cost us twice that at emu creek and my 9 year old son couldnt ride his quad at emu creek.check them out rover park.com.au.cheers gary

Hi, l am looking to buy a vinduro bike, l was looking at a Xr 250 86 model or 87 model to me they are very similiar to the 85 and 84 models, how fare can one go with the XR before they are not eligible. Because l don`t want to waste my money on purchasing a bike that can`t be run, It would have saved a lot of problem if they just made the cut of dates pre 90.

Hey SR, the 84-85 XR's share very little with the 86 onwards model so don't go thinking that they are flow-on models. An XR RE (84) is as eligible as it gets. Not a bad jigger but the pin was pulled on the reliability fuse many years ago on this particular model. How about we just make the cutoff pre-2010? Sheesh, this has been done to death. There's lots of great bikes available for the era. 

[SR 250]

Well try and find one of these great bikes of that era, l would say they are buggered or coupled up in sheds locked away, and l know the rules are done to death. Its very hard to fine a bike that we are looking for, and its not just me, They are not jumping out of show room floors at you when you drive past bike shops.

[Canam370]

What are you looking for and what sort of budget have you got?

[SR 250]

What have you got available and in running condition ready to ride at the next vinduro.

[Canam370]

You didn't answer the questions but I can help with a TT250H NOW.

[SR 250]

Sorry canam 370, I am very european minded, but l do like XR Honda. sorry l gave the tt some consideration and the verdit was no.

I could not agree with you more Canam, I dont see Pre 85 cut off as anything else but Pre 85 bikes, and wonder how others think it could possible mean 86-87 bikes etc ??

Cheers Mick.

Hey SR u can't go past a XL250sa twin shock beast.

There is nothing more satisfying than building up yr own motor rather than buying a possible handgranade.

I have 2 project bikes available if yr interested both complete but "PROJECTS"

1980 XL250sa very original ( motor is out and awaiting rebuild ) $600

1982 XR250RC motor is in but is locked $700

Always a lot of PE's on ebay. A lot of 82 175 full floaters have come up for grabs.
