LOL Nathan... Birko scared Diana a bit taking those pics apparently... 

She thought he was gunna run her over! 


She tells me Birko looked awfully close through the lens !!

Maybe I'm missing something but what is the above bike doing at a vintage meeting? 

What is he doing on this bike at this meeting?  I`ll tell you. This kid is 14 or 15 yrs old. He is the brother of # 8, the son of # 90 and the grandson of the older guy in the photos above his.This kid`s family are amongst the biggest doer`s in our club.I`m pretty sure that if the young lad doesn`t get to ride this family will go elsewhere.He is prepping a couple of vintage bikes at the moment to ride in Heaven when he turns 16. Heaven rules allow juniors to ride moderns or vmx. Agree with the last sentence or not but Heaven never struggle for lack of numbers.

Have a close look at the grin on the face of #8 on the Husky. This is the young bloke i challenged you ( in another post ) to tell him he doesn`t deserve a place in VMX because he is under 30.

What are you apologising for Mick25, If one had been to a Heaven meet in the last 2 yrs he would have seen him on that same bike.

And as for GEORGE

Why do we keep covering this issue over and over this must be 4-5 times that I know of. The Heaven Club allows juniors to ride moderns in their races get over it . Heaven allows juniors get over it  . There has never, to my knowledge, been anyone seriously suggest we leave the juniors out. This is the way the majority of club members accept and also welcome the family atmosphere it provides  .

We also allow all riders access to moderns during our practice days  get over it. This is how Heaven operates it works for us

Quoted for truth.
Plus what Ted said, too.

Hold on fellas, don't jump down my throat, I merely asked a question to which I genuinely didn't know the answer. The last thing I need in my life right now is yet another HEAVEN slanging match so don't be so bloody sensitive .
If HEAVEN members wish to include modern juniors in its program that's fine by me because I'm not a HEAVEN member and what I think doesn't really matter. I suppose if I'd attended a HEAVEN event in recent years I'd have known that.

hey firko

just goes to prove that you should not comment on things you don't know about
and don't undestand

"Maybe I'm missing something" implies that you see a problem with the modern bike being there, and clouds the perfectly reasonable question that follows.

While the club is a long way from perfect, the "Juniors on moderns" thing is a positive that's very widely accepted by the members.

[Mod1]

Ok Heaven does what Heaven does.
No more comments retaining too modern bikes please.

With utmost respect Nathan please don't read stuff I didn't imply into my statement. I genuinely didn't know what the modern was doing there, I mean't no drama other than to seek and answer to my curiosity. I've long ago stopped offering opinions on HEAVENs business because every fuc*ing time I end up the bad guy. I seriously don't care whether HEAVEN includes moderns or not....as I said, I'm not a member so it's none of my concern.

What does concern me though is every second member jumping on my case for asking a simple question. Lighten up for fu#k sake, the lot of you.  

[Nathan S]

Dude, you asked why everyone was tetchy, and I told you why.
I'm entirely happy to accept that you didn't intend it, but it's how it was interpreted - and obviously by several people.

[Hardo]

CRIKEY !   

Didn't realise throwing those pics up would create so much discussion!!
They were shared at Bob's request. His grandson can ride thats for sure.


It's all good guys. Lets all take a deep breath....   

anyway..... check this pic out ! 

[pancho]

 Fun in the mud!
