[Billet YZ]

Hi all,
         seeing as the Seymour Viper round has been cancelled are any of the Viper guys and anyone else interested in having a ride day and get together at the Parwin track.  Peter.

Yeah. I hear it's the third round of the International over 30's, under 5'7" one legged cross-dressing 500cc titles on at The Parwan Motocross Training Facility on the 29th.
Grouse! I'll be there.....

I'd like to be there, but I slipped over at work yesterday, one leg went one way the other went another way with the end result being my left hamstring ripped off my arse and a tweaked right knee! F&$k it hurts! Hopefully I'll be right to ride by Monza. Who said motorcycles were dangerous?

Thats almost as silly as slipping over in the mud while spectating

I remember that day, sad but funny at the same time, at least I'm smiling now, thanks for the memory. That same bandage is in use right now. You didn't have an open fuel can in your hand and absolutely drench yourself with fuel though. Enough said now, and I think the facts might get a little blurred from here on in. "I was out training & nailed this berm at 100mph when.........."
Cheers,

I wouldn't mind a ride - need to get some riding under my belt after a crap day at Ravo.
Can you post up more details (timings etc) as I haven't ridden that track before.  Camping available? Might be able to get a few mates along too

You must live pretty close to where the now-shut-for-good Melton track is.

Don't get too many bikes out at your place, some bleeding heart will head out there and find a legless lizard/rare form of grass/burial ground on your property and shut you down too

Yeah. I was thinking the same. . A nice thought Rob but you might be shooting yourself in the foot...... :'(

No camping at Parwan Steve. It's just a pay track (and a pretty average one at that) and you can get in anytime after 8.00 on a Sat/Sun.
I wouldn't be turning up with a nice new tyre either.......

[Hoony]

a used road sllck should do the job.

[POM]

ya maybe right ross.....but me neighbours are pretty good....1 actualy comes round for a ride occassionally.........others sit watching with beers in hand (probably waiting for the dumb pom to crash) ha ha.....any way as long as not too many rock up and i can dry the track out a bit all should be ok.....any one who wants to come just need to give me a ring sat arvo to confirm.

I agree Ross.  I went to Parwan a few times when it first opened (maybe five or six years ago now?) and it was brilliant to ride on.  It was nice soft tacky clay.  After riding it recently, I'm absolutely convinced that it hasn't been touched since.    It's been a good track before, why they can't spend a bit of $$ on it from time to time is beyond me.  What do we have to do to convince them to rip it a bit and give the track a bit of a freshen up???

We used to go there a few times in the mid 90's and was really grouse. The main track was a lot bigger and it had some really cool sections in it with some some big (safe) jumps that people could use or safely go around. I think by shortening it and putting those stupid little table-tops in everywher they thought they'd make it safer but now that back straight is one huge whoop section that you end up flat knackered on.
When I came off along that section in 2005 I didn't stop bouncing 'till I hit the pits . Since then I only ride up the back or kick the kids off their KTM auto's when pulling a few block-passes on them on their track.....
