The 2014 Harrow Vinduro thread!

[HVA61]

Hi Luffy

Thanks for asking that important question and I'm happy to confirm that you really did reach the right conclusion about the riders of oriental equipment , "however"
you also need to consider in your time calculations and allowances the levels of inebriation of the individual.  When you consider the one step forward and one step back part of the calculation, when the level of inebriation passes level 8 , it could indeed be more than a two minute walk .

Traffic , although a minor determining factor in the calculation , it must still be considered. When we were at Harrow last month , one nite we saw two cars after 8.00pm.

Kind regards

Shoey

2 cars in the one evening? You had been at the pub and I reckon you might have been seeing double!

'Up for grabs' is a 2014 Harrow Gold medal

Normally one must ride endless hours through mud, slop, sand, creeks, hills, off cambers and over logs all the while continually looking for rare to find arrows in order to find the direction back to the Parc Ferme.
But why go through all that when you can just buy one ahead of time and then brag to all your mates that you earned an elusive Harrow Gold Medal (by way of your healthy bank account)

This item is particularly sought after by owners of European brands as they don't usually make it to the finish, Japanese owners please be aware you may end up bidding against some desperate owners of European machinary that have only ever seen a Harrow Gold medal in the hands of there mates who own Japanese bikes.

Then again if you think this too expensive you could just pay $60.00 entry fee and ride the 3 loops and acquire your gold medal honestly.
You will need a road bike licenceand a pre 85 registered bike (Classic rego is the go these days)

Probably belongs to some Jap bike rider that borrowed a European machine to get it and is now trying to raise enough funds to buy a European machine.

Something smells of the Welsh team (2012)

How dare you suggest any thing underhanded by the Welsh team we bought our medals fare and square I suggest you take a look at the cheating snail eating french!

Cochon! Racaille! I do not see your entry into the riders list - are you Welsh so short that you do not reach even the bottom of the list? Even an uncouth cave dweller such as yourself must appreciate that the author of such mischief would be working in the thrall of the mighty Ming, sowing the seeds of dissent amongst those of finer European heritage - which I suppose explains why you are the one who has been so easily misled by this subterfuge! Merde! Why must I share the planet with such cretins? Return to your tin mine!

      Is it true that the Idea of a lap on Saturday is to give the Euro team time to RE-build there bikes
      before lap 2 on Sunday..

      Talking of French riders is it true that One has put a Snow Mobile motor in a Hodaka frame with a
      Rope pull start of a Victa Mower ....

Well, well, well... I was casually scanning through the Harrow entry list when I noticed that team Husqvarna NSW includes a rider on a... Honda. Trying to discreetly improve your team's chances of success are we?

They always smell like that.

Talking of French riders is it true that One has put a Snow Mobile motor in a Hodaka frame with a  Rope pull start of a Victa Mower ....

Yes. That is 100% true.

Well well well , looks who's popped up in the mix.

Tex , Tex , Tex, you must understand , taking on the forlorn and Jap riders is a favourite pass time. If we can just convert one of the lost souls each year the Vinduro scene will be a better place. Just look a your Yamaha buddies , they are all sound lost and confused in their chatter on the net.

Don't be a hater Bro Bro , you gotta go Euro.

[Canam370]

Oui Tex. You are the pox at hating and taste. Come join with Le French and we will teach you to do eet properely! I have found that those who protest the most .........ahhhh, you are a closet Europhile! Now all the sense is made. Tres bon!!!!!!

[The Wombat]

Do the French ( the real ones from Gay Pari ) actually consider the Canadian ones as there own??

Or is it like the Euro bike scene just a poor copy of the Motorcycles from the land of the rising sun!!! 

Talk it up Euro boys but "The Empire will strike back"   

[odd1]

The trouble with the Canadain French is they don't think the French are French enough!
