Rocley Vinduro / Poker Run

[firko]

The Rockley Vinduro proved the notion that Vinduros are the next big aspect of the vintage movement to take off. The low key fun and "go at your own pace" appeals to everyone. Numbers were surprisingly down but with a number of key players away on business and or holidays, a vintage dirt track at Nepean and the Castella Vinduro in Victoria offering some competition, the roll up was still impressive. Organiser Rob Shoemark harbours strong convictions that Vinduros have a positive future and has vowed to amp up the the promotion from here on. There will be a definite three events next year in NSW with the possibility of another two in the works.
If you haven't already tried Vinduro give it a go, you'll have a ball.

Dave Onley, usually more at home on his Coopers or his precious XR75s negotiates the forest on his MX360.

Despite the dust, conditions were ideal

The course was well laid out and included some tight , through the trees sections as well as full on MX style action

Geez that looks just brilliant. I have the IT175 in the garage and it'll be getting the resto treatment over the Chrissy hols. I really want in to this Vinduro stuff, that's just my cup of tea. Especially given that

a. You get lots of riding
b. I'm crap at MX
c. You get to see all those nice old enduro bikes
d. It'll really take me back cos I was a trail/enduro rider back then, never an MXer

If we have several vinduros next year I'll be a real happy camper. Good on ya guys!
