Yeah that sounds good in theory but it cost me an extra days pay.

[EML]

I thought you voted Labor and got a subsidy

[KTM47]

No politics

[EML]

Popeye are you doin' a tour de dirt up there again?
I have some guys from Westside 4x4 that are keen to take the road less traveled on their Huskies.

[popeye]

Not this time mate, BUGGER got to take the bikes up and the kids...

If you get a 1200GS in time you can fit one in each saddlebag.
Do you have the trip logged on GPS?

Please keep the Matterhorn in. If you think the pre75 and or pre 78's will have issues making it up, put a short cut in for them and Evo onwards run right up the top. It ain't toowoomba without it !

Echo Valley today from the top of skyline..

I don't see why we cant use the Matterhorn. I went today to check out the place for 2 weeks time and next years post classic nats around Easter time. The track is as I remember it....awesome. The pits are way bigger and so no problems with camping. The club ran a great meet. Anyone who wants to run on the track in 2 weeks time....do it...a real track and I know a few guys that rode there in the 70's that are champing at the bit to ride there in the 2010's....bloody old bastards. . A couple of things I noticed where there is a lot of 2 stokes getting raced at the modern nats, the numbers in the classes was really low (the promotors must be worried or at least should be worried) and those farking 4 strokes are WAY too noisy....the sooner they get rid of them or shut them up , the better. I cant wait for the meeting and I cant even ride the bloody thing!!!.

If anyone was offended by the noise the Suzuki made, that had the baffle fall out in the 1st MX1 race, please ring or email MA. I complained and was told it wasn't dangerous etc, etc. I think that was just bulls@#$, the bike wasn't black flagged because there were only sixteen bikes in the race. Also I thought it was No 77 apparently it was No 11.

As for it not being dangerous, I believe it was dangerous to the health of the spectators and the other riders. It is also dangerous for the future of our sport to ignore things like that.

Bring back 2 strokes and get rid of those noisy, smelly, expensive four strokes.

Maybe no one at the track complained about the noise of that thing but there are so many houses close to the track and you only need a couple of them to complain to council and the tracks future is in jeapody. With several of the mx tracks closed in SE Qld recently from noise complaints it's not worth the risk.

[KTM47]

Don't worry I'm sure someone complained, but because someone is a law unto themselves nothing was done. When the chance comes I will try another approach. The sport can't afford to ignore things like this so the rule book needs to cover it.

I parked in the back streets off Nelson St. I could hear the bikes from there. It wasn't loud but that was the muffled bikes.

looking forward to it, first ride there
