Photos of The 'Johnny Old' meeting in NZ

[TM BILL]

MC, the meeting in the weekend (Johnny Old) and CD's are two different things, so they should never be compared. Both are great and everyone needs to attend each meeting at least once. 

DJ Cd is the best NON competitive event iv'e been to and the Johnny Old just edges out the Connondale nats* as the best Competitive event iv'e been to 

* Both fantastic tracks but the Johnny Old is much more laid back

Bill, your telling me that??
I do remember someone being very laid back at Conondale    but yeah you have got it right about CD being the best NON competitive event you can go to, and I just hope I get to ride at the next Johnny Old.

Good to catch up with you Bill, hey I'm just like most petrol head VMXers, wasn't good enough to attract monetary attention when I was younger. Now I have the cash I'm tryin to cram as much in before I end up in a dribbling mess in an old folks home.
Thanks for the heads up - not trying to compare meets but tryin to get a handle on what we rode in on the weekend, looking to do an international road trip, some of the boys are looking at the states but I'm thinkin Aus for real VMX break, thats why I asked

Great pics and a great weekend n to any of you Aussie boys have a look at the rest of DJ's pics on Photo bucket -

Cheers MC

Mark you cant beat the CD events for a great trip however Mid ohio and farleigh castle are on the todo list when the boat comes in

Dave the track reminded me of tracks back home a bit ( moreso than most tracks over here do ) do they still run events at ladies mile on the side of the A3 ?

[TM BILL]

I'll compare ....they are both GREEN and fantastic tracks.

Just looked at the photos again, I'm asking myself why I went to the Nats, would have been cheaper to fly over there and race. You boys where holding out on that one!. Hows ol Morley Shirrifs going these days?. How did big Les go?, not many sleeps to Conondale now, least I've got something to look forward to.

Col Metcher came to the Johnny Old along with our regular Aussie good Bastard Steve sweeny and forum member Scunge  Its great you blokes made it over and you picked the Premier event to come to.

Allison would love to see you and Steve over here  see you at CD  trying to put together a trip your way for the 15th anniversary , Col tells me hes coming back out west for it  we better get Davey C on board for the trip , Brad to but i think he will be in Pomgolia then


You went to the Nats to meet people like --ME--       and we'll meet you again at CD7 and again at Johny old in 2011 if the property owner allows.. Start savin DaveyC--just do it.
cheers

Ally, I'm talking the Broadford nats I just went to to ride around in 2nd gear and wash the bikes 5 million times!!, buuut it will be good to catch up with you at CD7.....and I will definately be at the Johnny Old next year.....riding Bills new CZ360 and a few others ....awesome track again boys!!...still dirty you didnt pressure me into coming over

Bill
To have Conondale even rated with that track makes me proud.  That track is awesome.  
Will it be on the same W\end next year?

John, how about coming over for the Woodstock Bourbon World Twinshock 125 Champs the weekend before CD7 and have a week off and fly back for CD and be the International star at Classic Dirt      now I'm not trying to put pressure on you but imagine flying back to Oz as the World Twinshock 125 Champ??    

[TM BILL]

I really hope so   Jo and Owen the organisers really did a fantastic job   be really Cool if we can do it again next year

[Davey Crocket]

No pressure at all ya mongrel!, I'll tell you one thing though after just looking at the areial shot, theres more spectators there than the Broadford nats.....and theres 6? million people that live in Melborne, sheds a diferent light on how slack the Vic's where a couple of weeks ago!!!! Whats NZed's total population.....4 million.....shame, shame, shame (I think that was said by an expat Kiwi too) anyway back too the positive side of things....much better than the sidecar crap isint it?.....

Rider # 147 on page 2 is Col "Supersenior50" Metcher from the Gold Coast. The old bugger turns up everywhere.

[Davey Crocket]

We might have to take you to Bindi's Mark to get some voodoo magic happening so we can get you back on a bike ya old codger, sail you across the seas for a ride!!

If you can get me further up the waiting list to have my broken body parts fixed you've got a deal. I'll have a ride at CD7 and see how it goes. I enjoyed my few laps at the HBBB.
