We have finalised the course for the Vinduro, and what a loop it is, if you enjoyed our last vinduro you will love this one, its a nice flowing track I'm sure you will enjoy. We have both easy and hard sections to test your skills, and the X country test (un timed) is a hoot. The creek section behind the camp area is great, as are the Trials sections we have discovered. In the Trials area you can have it easy or hard, it's up to you. The Club has been working overtime to get the camping area ready and all is looking well for a great weekend of Vinduro and Trials. You can pre register just go to the Toowoomba Motorcycle Club web page and follow the prompts. Come on boys show your support to the only Club in Queensland who are prepared to put their necks on the line and put on two Vinduro events in the one year. We are giving you the ride. Show your support and support us in our endeavours to establish Vinduro in Queensland.

Gents,

Don't forget that it's now a week until the Murphy's Creek Vinduro and Vintage Trials.  Just to the East of Toowoomba - only an hour or so from Brisbane.

Should be a great weekend.  The club has set a great track, with Hard/Easy options.  Fantastic trials area set out. 

And camping is available Saturday night.

So bring out your old bikes and have some fantastic fun!!   ;D

Cool Mike!!  Now I'm jealous...

I haven't found a 125 yet...   :'(

I'll probably be bringing the KDX400 and the IT400C.  But I wont be there Saturday.  Sunday only.

Just found out I have to spend all of next week in Sydney for work.

So I'll come home late next Friday night, do the family thing Saturday after being away for the week, then head up to Murphy's Creek at sparrow fart on Sunday..

You up for some laps again?   ;D

I read the thread but couldn't see whether you needed rego to ride in this event. I take it you don't need it?  Are motorcrossers okay if fitted with a headlight and tail light (and maybe an effective silencer)?

Never done Vinduro before but keen to give it a try if possible.

Cheers

All private property, no rego required at all.

MX bikes are not a problem at all - hell, half of us rode converted MX bikes back in the day anyway!

If you bike's quiet enough for MX, it'll be fine for the Vinduro. 

If you have a headlight already, throw it on.  But if you can't find one, just come anyway...  You'll be fine. 

They're a pretty laid back bunch.  They're not going to turn you away just because you didn't have a headlight you could use. 

It's all about having fun on old bikes.

While marking the track today we had a nice little bit of rain, at a guess we had somewhere between 3 to 5ml. We went out after the rain and it was a bit slippery but the trails were great. The forecast for the weekend is no more rain, so all is looking good for a great ride.  ;D ;D ::)

Real good ride .
Can't wait for the next one .
On second thoughts I will probably join the club so I can ride there every weekend. ;D

There were a couple of moderns floating around and they didn't cause too much trouble.
In fact I don't think too many riders even noticed them.
They sort of looked like the sweep riders except they paid to ride.

Thanks to Lawrie & Toowoomba MCC, great event, I had a ball.
I met some great people too. Definitely coming back for the next one.

Couple of pics of the campsite on Sunday morning.

Looks like a beautiful spot for an event, got anymore pics of the bikes, action shots.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.
