First Victorian Vinduro event for 2014 is at Ballan on Feb 16

[Tex]

The first VERi shindig for 2014 will be a Sprint style event run in conjunction with the Ballan Tractor Pull. It will be run on a short natural terrain course, with a few obstacles thrown in for good measure.

It'll be a low key event, and a good chance to dust off the cobwebs in preparation for the bumper year of riding ahead. It's also a good opportunity to show off our sport to the general public.

Entry will be on the day, for a bargain entry fee of $30. Factor in a one day MV licence ($25) and one day VERi membership ($10) as applicable.

More details will be posted on the VERi website over the next week or so.

This is a youtube video of the 2012 tractor pull at Ballan - great old vintage machines, like ours!
Scooter News was at the Tooradin tractor pull last week and LOVED IT!  We will be coming to do the Ballan vinduro, although I think I will be distracted by the tractors and don't know how many laps I will get in.
Will have to get Jo and her whip to keep me away from the tractors...
See Tex and everyone

Well we'd prefer it there was. I would be amazed if you didn't have a spare PE headlight  amongst your vast collection!

Recreation. It's a non-competitive event.

Weather forecast looks good, so even temperamental Euro bikes should behave themselves.

This vinduro/sprint will be a side event as part of the Ballan Vintage Machinery Rally & Tractor Pull. Check out the link below for more info:

It was aimed at all Euro "exotica"!

Hi everyone,

Despite the benign weather forecast, unfortunately the area where we were to ride is deemed as being too much of a fire risk right now by the landowners/organisers. Sadly the vinduro/sprint has had to be cancelled. VERi apologises for any inconvenience, but obviously this is completely out of our control.

Damn I thought it would be ok it is probably pretty dry through that way at the moment so I understand.

I was looking forward to it I will try to get to the next ride.
