Is this the meter you speak of Trev.

I go back to what I said ages ago. We should enshrine the terminology. Vintage Motocross is Pre 1975. Then we can have Classic Motocross or some other similar name - 1975 to 1985. And Post-Classic or similar - 1985 to 1995.

If a club wants to be Vintage only, all power to them. HEAVEN for example might cater only to Vintage and Classic classes. If there's enough interest, someone could start up their own Post-Classic club, call is HELL or something. If you're good you'll ride an old twin-shock but if you bad and mean you'll be on a nice 89 YZ....

VIPER might run classes for Vintage, Classic and Post-Classic on one program. Who knows.

But Vintage is the yardstick. It started the whole thing and it's worth preserving for what it means. Pre 75 dirtbikes. Everything after can come into 'the scene' but in its place with its own philosophy. And let's face it, eventually the Post-Post-Post Classic class, Pre 2005, will be cool cos it'll have the first of the new gen 4-strokes in it.

Once you've got these divisions, it's up to clubs and individual to vote with their feet. It's silly to expect any club, eg HEAVEN to cater for every possible class for ever. Add the new classes if you wish, or if enough people want to, create a new club catering to the newer division.

Doesn't sound so hard to me.

Vintage is Vintage is Pre 75. End of story.

Actually, how's about some thoughts on names?

I offer

Dinosaur= Pre 1965
Vintage = 1965-1975
Evolution = 1975-1985
?? = 1985-1995
?? = 1995-2005

Hi Mario, I would have to get really pissed again to figure it out and I don't think my heart could take it two nights in a row. Fergie sure is a good sort but hey, I will never join another cult, unless it's hers

If she were to be our new leader? I will vote for whatever she wants, "Pre Anything"

.... under no known or conventional definition does pre 95 fit the term VMX.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course in a forum such as this, but by definition, something has to be at least 20 years old to be classified as a "Classic", and of course the definitition of Vintage is even less well defined, but generally understood to be older than Classic.

So to suggest that pre-95 is a VMX thread is pure comedy
...

This post has holes that you could drive a Kenworth through.

Let's just keep it on track and talk about the easy stuff:
1. The sport is called "Classic Motocross" in the MA manual.
2. When VMX was started in Australia, the newest bikes were 13 years old.
3. A 1994 model bike is now 17 years old (and they're the newest pre-95 bikes) - so by your own admission the majority of the potential pre-95 field are already Classics.

You were trying to argue against me, weren't you?

You were happy to give a damn when it was about sprouting irrational opinions without any justification, but as soon as it got a bit tricky, you went to water...

Thanks for that.
