[Hoony]

Nicely done, buts it's IXL Jam for me Mate

Like my bikes, I like things home made...... Nana made Lemon/Orange marmalade from the monthly local church fete! Her lemon butter is pretty damn good too!
Hows things going these days Doc?

Farrrk, if it stops all this BS, I have a YZ250B frame I may part with......geezus.....what a load of horse manure....DJ, you shouldnt be stirring the pot with the mess the NZ VMX scene your coming back to after 3 or 4 years fishing (I hope you put back all those undersize fish!!)....your pre 75 (sorry "Classic" ) class allows 75/76 models to race in it and you wonder why that class has almost disapeared....your pre78 class morfhs into your evo/twinshock and then you have pre 86.....what the?....even Murray Anderson says it should stop at pre85....there is a huge diference between 85/86 models....even TMBill agrees we have it pretty much sorted and you guys should get into line and follow the leader. We have a great scene over here which you have attended on occasion and it pretty much runs with alot of commonsence on the day...sure some peoples noses get put out of joint but we have a structured rule book that is pretty close to the mark and getting closer every year (and quite easy to read to see the do's and the dont's).

John this is not my "load of horse manure". A question was asked and all I did was answer it with the best of my knowledge and understanding after reading your rule book. Which as you say is a stuctured and quite easy to read to see the do's and don't. Don't be having a go at me when it is what it is. I didnt write your rules, I just read them and copied them here.
You seem to be on the defensive for what reason Im unsure but this is an open forum for discussing all things VMX and in this thread it was about a bike that was questionable for pre75.
As for what we do here in NZ wouldnt it be best you start a new thread on the wrongs of VMX in New Zealand?
 I will debate it with you in there at length if you so wish.

Firko talking of lemon kurd how did edna like hers from classic dirt trip

[motomaniac]

yup..still lurking motomaniac. I prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch the legality debates these days as they really don't affect me.

and thanks Hoony ..Bi-Lo strawberry jam maybe not

Nice Doc ,I did check your FB page outta curiousity.Alls good except I'm a bit above the Woolies variety stuff thesedays.

Farrrk,and then you have pre 86.....what the?....even Murray Anderson says it should stop at pre85....there is a huge diference between 85/86 models.....

Yer there is a bigger difference between 85/86 models than 84/85 which is probably why they have pre 86 (which would exclude 86 models?) instead of our pre 85 , sounds good too me

I'm hearing you matey.......a couple of weeks months on a tropical beach with a few good books and a decent rum supply is just what I need to get over a pretty ordinary year.

Agreed.
Pre-86 excludes all rear discs, cartridge forks, and Honda's HPP (which was considerably better than the other options).
I don't think any of the 85 models are significantly better than the good 84 models.

Stuff the beach ....might get sand in the Rum!

Yes in NZ we do race Pre86 and it wasnt because we wanted to be "different from every body else" it was because of the 1986 bikes having very significant changes to suspension and motors so it was considered as a good place to start the next era.

There is a huge difference between the 84/85 500's from Honda & Kawasaki, they are all new watercooled bikes that left the other brands behind. The difference is not so big in the smaller bikes though but i think we got it right with pre 85.
