NSW Vintage Dirt Bike Display UPDATED 6 / 7 / 2013

[Ted]

I am pleased to announce, with the full backing of Suttos KTM and HEAVEN VMX that the BACK TO THE FUTURE vintage dirt bike display will be held on the 6/7/2013 at Suttos Motorcycle Shop 141 Blaikie Rd Jamisontown ( PENRITH ) between the hours of 8am and 3 PM

Chris Sutton came up with the name and is aiming to have his mates Delorean on show to help promote it. He will also have a HUGE sale on this day to get us as much exposure as possible. He has also appointed one staff member ( who is involved in the VMX scene ) to liase with me on what is required. To say Chris is super keen would be an understatement.

HEAVEN VMX have allowed us to print their flyer/ calendar off and hand them out to people. Plenty of Heaven members have agreed to show their bikes and hand out flyers

I will approach Roy from NEPEAN this week and ask if he can get some Dirt Track guys involved. ( DONE )

I will also ask Shaun from NORTHERN DISTRICTS MCC if he can swing some Pre 90 guys into action (DONE)

I am sure that FIRKO can get some Pre 65 / 75 fellas to also come along ( DONE )

I will ask HVA61 if he can get some Vinduro people as well ( DONE )

Will have a Juniors bike display , allowing parents to see what machines their children can ride in VMX (DONE)

We need to cover all eras of machinery , particularly the 70's when dirt bikes were huge in this country.

I am arranging ( thru a friend ) for a very major motorcycle magazine photographer to cover proceedings on the day with a view to let MODERN MXer's know that there is a vintage thing happening.

We will be able to cater for up to 100 bikes, all on concrete hard stand. Chris said to bring quick shades to house our bikes under so as this thing goes off rain, hail or shine.


If you want to race your bikes in combined classes or 2 and 3 bike races then we will scrap this idea and sit on our hands and do nothing. This is a perfect venue right in the heartland of NSW motorcycling at arguably the biggest dirt bike store in Australia, smack bang in the middle of the VMX calendar offering the most exposure to what we do.

This whole thing apart from a little bit of effort and time is ABSOLUTELY FREE

There are just a couple of rules:

1- As we are operating out of an ongoing motorcycle business we would not like to see any FOR SALE signs on bikes or parts. ( Discuss selling stuff by all means but PLEASE no signs )

2- Have your bikes in place and trailers / vehicles parked in street by 8am. Suttos trading hours are 8:30 am till 2:30 pm but Chris has hinted he will stay open as long as we are there. I am sorry but if you are not in place on time you will have to wheel your bikes in from the street just as it is at any exhibition.

I have 85 or so bikes committed already so a show of hands on here would be good

Any positive comments or ideas are greatly appreciated

Cheers

I have included my mobile number for anybody that wants to add a smartarse remark, just keep this thread positive and encouraging

Awesome Ted.

Can I bring the YZ ?

No show pony but i think it's cool

Also that cr arrives on Tuesday I can bring it too

[Ted]

I think it's cool too. Maybe not as cool as a alloy arm 125 B Suzuki but cool all the same

And bring your CR

We are not aiming at a concourse resto show , we are just showing what we ride. That's why Mark is organizing a couple of rat bikes to let people know that you can go high zoot or as ratty as you like. All are welcome and Chris is super keen. Also a plus for us is that his shop will be offering huge discounts on anything we want to buy from him. Save your pennies for then

[firko]

I've had a ring around and I've got a good dozen bikes lined up already. I'll print up some flyers introducing newbies to the options available to them within the VMX bubble including VDT and Vinduro's and the contact details for HEAVEN, Penrith and Norths clubs. This'll be fun.

[Ted]

After attending a couple of these already I have found that the public will chew your ear off about your bikes but will be hesitant to approach you. I suggest that as an example , say for Paul's YZ, he simply prints out a piece of paper with 1977 YAMAHA YZ 125 D and places it in front of his bike. This will automatically bring a former owner who cannot distinguish a D from a E forward. Also if a guy says I had one of these back in 77 , maybe let him sit on it and reflect on what it was like back then. You never know he may like it and source one.

[Ted]

That's good news Mark, that's approx 30 bikes in a couple of hours. Get in early fellas This will fill very quickly

[Ted]

We have bikes coming from Woolongong and Newcastle. We just need those EXOTIC MONTESSAS from up Singleton way to turn up as well.

[Ted]

Anybody got a Cooper, Bultaco, Indian, Harley, Montessa and we need lots of KTM

Bring them out

[Slakewell]

I will lend my KTM to the event. I will ask one of the guys who works there to make sure it gets there.

[HVA61]

Ted

Thats fabulous , i rang that mobile phone number and it was the local YMCA , whats going on there buddy

The Iron men of Enduro, Vinduro / Cross country generally dont usually hang out with the weak little wenna totting moto cross boys ,given they only ride a maximum of 20 mins per race, but since its a fabulous opportunity to show our stuff and progress the cause, we could have at least 10 bikes on display , most being from the premier marquee of husqvarna.

Yes thank you Alison. Much appreciated

FAT-TOY, By all means bring them. I have never seen either of them .Looking forward to it

Good man Slakewell

Obviously Shoey and Pete don't plan on riding their steeds at Canowindra.  Otherwise they wouldn't have any wheels left on them euro queer bikes to push them into the show. Thanks guys. 

WOW. One day on here and we have 50 or so bikes entered. Top effort men.

[Paul552]
