Just tried to send a message to tony t doesnt recognize your name?

That's cos 'Tony T' is only my stage name.  :D :D

My registered name is actually 'TT'.  ;)

btw Although I didn't ride, the event was obviously a ripper. It just had a bloody good feel to it! Drakie spent 3 days marking out the course and his efforts were well worth it from all reports. Thanks also to Lochie and all the other guys and girls that put in to make it all happen.
Well done to the Bus Boys for winning the Barossa Photo Company 'Spirit of Vinduro' Award. The turned up with just the right attitude, rode well and obviously had a blast doing it. Well done boys, there should be more like you! Only problem was that they managed to round up enough blokes for 2 teams which means I have to fork out for 3 more trophies.............  ::)  ;)
Thanks also to the Harrow township. Especially Bernie Kelly at the Transport Museum for opening up the bowsers after hours for me cos I didn't have enough fuel to get anywhere.  :-[  It's worth taking the time to walk through the town and see the effort that the Progress Association have put into it. I'll be back next year with the family in tow to spend a bit more time there for sure!  ;D

See y'all there!!  ;D

Some bad news, on sunday around 3pm Lochie Turner had a Car Accident 15 km`s out of Harrow, If people unaware who he is, lochie is the land owner at Harrow, Lochie is in the Alferd Hospital In a Coma, l wish Lochie all the very best. He loved his bikes and came to all the meetings, the classic scramble club is a  lucky club to have lochie as a member. I am sure he is in professional hands.

Bad news indeed!
That's the first I heard of it.
My thoughts are with him and his family for a quick recovery.

Did you see:
The gray cat in main street

The stuffed cat in window frame halfway up the pub's stairwell

The size of farmer Lachie's tree trunk fires

That awesome special test scramble track set into the hill

The Frontera flip it

Dave Alsop's smoke trail

The amazing road leading into the property

The mobs of roos all day long

The state of the pub accommodation rooms

The home-cooked food in cafe next to pub

Drakey's Skull 'n' Crossbones on that red-dot marker

Ha Ha, and the soapbox derby race karts in front of the old work shop
Moto Mac giving birth to his old football team, in the old dunny next to the jail  for not winning the flag.
bumping or head on the roof of the pub when downing a nice cold ale.
That Smoke trail was there the next morning.

I thought you were doing your weekday job, Dave - (spraying for that locust plague they reckon is coming).
Seriously Dave ... I was so glad you made it to Harrow.   And happy to see you out there riding.  Was that a 'Gary O'Brien' look ... with the orange overalls?

I spoke to Lachie heaps of times over weekend.   He was loving the whole scene.   He was right into it.   Here's hoping he pulls through.

And I hope Drakey pulls through too ... having worked his butt off over past month and more for Harrow.  And what a bonus, having that mx track from heaven ... for free use all Saturday.   It was Legend.   Magic dirt.   Thanks, Classic Scramble Club.

And thanks Steve Juzva ... for the rides.

Excellent photo's as usual Tony, great presentation too.
Youv'e set the bar bloody high for the rest of us budding photographers though.

It was an excellent event, congrats to all that made it happen.

I found it hard to get photo's as some seemed to be very shy



I was even threatened with violence for my papparazi ways



I think they had close to 70 entries, their were 50 bikes in the Parc Ferme on Sat night before I wheeled mine in,



and a few more rolled in on Sunday morning

Latest this morning is that Lauchie is conscious, satisfactory and improving which is good news.
