Well, I put a new topic on this the other day, just to find out in there was a register or club for CZ owners, and had no reply, plenty of lookers but no commends, its like no body gives a shit.

Whats a CZ Grandad ??? ;D ;D ;D sorry man I love my pre 74 bikes as much as the next man, god knows I have enough but with all this pre 90 talk I can see a day when pre 95 will come along and I think that is for the greater good, VMX has to evolve to be relevant to the riders the same way that modern MX did.

As for being off the VMX topic, hell you don't do it with  your ole lady the same way every time you would get a reputation as a dud root. Bit like the guys always raising this lets stick to VMX forum nazi bullshit./

I personally hate continued political threads for reasons I've stated in the past but if that's what the majority want, well so be it. What is more an anoyance to me is whingers complaining about the forum droping off or too much of this or not enough of that when they rarely ever contribute anything interesting or worthwhile to the forum themselves. It's almost as if 10% of the members supply 90% of the content. Some of the worst complainers are some of the worst contributors.

It's not hard to post a photo (I had to relearn to do it by another method today, it's not neurosurgery) so why not post photos of your bikes, tell us the story of its build.....in other words, join in and become part of our community instead of whinging that the 10% who do contribute aren't entertaining you.

And yes, this subject is done and dusted.

That fired everyone up. Love the passion for this forum. Got a good laugh reading this subject, just hope Sgt Hugo was just trying to reel everyone in or maybe he wont read the replies as its not VMX related.

I remember you , you where the bloke that helped me push start my bike

Hasn't everyone helped push start your bike Walter? I thought it was one of the rites of passage.  ;D
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Looks like the forum is losing its vmx identity, to so much crap that is not even vmx related.
Is our sport suffering this much that we need to fill all the topic areas with stuff that has nothing in common with vmx motocross. ie Qantas B.S and manufacturing in OZ.
Are we that bored or just want to talk shit for something to do.

It HAS been done to death and you seem to be out voted by the replies. But you are by no means a minority. Unfortunately a lot of vmx characters have pulled the pin or just don't visit or contribute as much any more. I was on here all the time but now look at the for sale and a couple of threads that might interest me and not every day as I used to. All you can do in the end is take out what you want and move to another site after that. This site used to have my complete attention but those days are over. If you look at the main contributors to this site, they rarely if ride at all. That is the way it has gone. Thank god for facebook. All the vmx you can handle.

Yeah, well that's no worries. Brad looks in for info from time to time to help get his bikes sorted, and Johnny O is so famous he wanted the historic nats moved to suit his programme because he was busy riding Hawkstone Park. It all takes time. Bottom line is, like any website, you can click in if you want. No more complex than that.... ;)

I don't know what you're on about matey.. i didn't ride Farleigh this year and had no plans of going to the Nats and Brad has probably helped people more times than he's asked for help on here..
