"Vintage Bike Get Together."
« on: October 08, 2012, 11:01:23 pm »
This get together is something i was planning to hold as a stand alone day for all Viper members and other vintage bike enthusiasts, my plan is to have as many vintage dirt bikes on display for the whole day. This event will be held in Melton Victoria 3337. 

This will now be held on the same day as the Viper Presentation which is Saturday 17th November 2012, it would be good for the Viper members and others to bring along there race bikes or there restored bikes and display them for all to see. I have also arranged for a few of my mates to bring along there collection of bikes so there should be a fair bit to see and talk about.

The plan is to make a big day of it including the Viper Presentation formalities then continue on with a good afternoon of viewing all the bikes which at a race day we just don`t get to do, the doors are open for anybody that wants to stay and camp overnight. There will be a big bonfire set-up to sit around for some late into the night bench racing / beer drinking, i will have a few bbq`s set up for you to cook your food on and for those that are still there in the morning bacon & eggs will be on the go.

Please note for the Saturday night it is B.Y.O. grog and bbq food, the breakfast stuff will be provided.

Please send me a p.m. or advise on this thread if you are attending. There is plenty of secure space to lock the bikes up overnight for those that don`t have enclosed trailers.  Regards Peter.

Worth coming along for just to have a 'spy' at Pete's '89 YZ 360. I had a little squirt of it yesterday. Awesome! :P

C'mon Paul. We know it's a lot of work wheeling those bikes out of the shed and driving a whole 30 minutes to Melton but I'll personally make sure nobody says anything..........hurtful...........about Maicos  :'(
