Surprised this hasn't been snapped up yet !




'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)

BREAKING NEWS. A permit has been obtained by VERi allowing motorcycles registered under the Victorian Recreational Registration scheme to be used at the Harrow 100 this year. Any event eligible rec-reg bikes planning to attend will have to be in compliance of the Vicroads registration requirements and compliance will be checked at scrutineering.

So there you go! VERi has provided for all manner of users for this event. However, this special exemption will NOT be offered at all VERi events, so keep in mind the advantages of Club Permit registration. Get yourselves into gear and come on down to Harrow this weekend to participate in what is a premier event.

Good Work VP 

[GMC]

Excellent work from the President of Vice.

Due to the lateness of the announcement we will waive the late entry fee for anyone who wants to enter with a rec reg bike.

[80-85 husky]

this was posted up earlier in the year regarding the new course

"VERi President Steve Baker, and Rob Shoemark (Media & Promotion) have just completed the final course set out for the upcoming Harrow Vinduro on the last weekend of July.

The course will run through seven properties and will be approximately 90 kms long, with a fuel dump at the half way mark for a splash and dash back to the finish.

Rob noted that, "The course is running through some of the most spectacular farmland you will ever encounter."

"For those of you sitting on the fence about getting your bike registered in some form - don't! You will be kicking yourself if you miss this one," said Steve.

The course is suitable for beginners as well as experts. With the change of format this year the problem of the Glenelg River in bad weather has also been addressed." from Tex.

who knows what that means......

Much work has gone into the solution to the problem of the Glenelg river crossing this year.
These efforts are now being transported to Harrow and will be known as the "Glenelg leap of faith" and should see competitors reach the other side with out getting their boots wet.

Can't wait to see u on the "BMW" in full flight 

[kdx Geoff]

The approach to the ramp needs some work though.....

Half a dozen pale ales, payable to me. No other penalty as far as VERi is concerned, but bear in mind that you are using public roads and bikes are expected to comply with rego/permit conditions. You can negotiate any exceptions with the local constabulary should the need arise.

who knows what that means......

What part? If you're talking about river crossings, then there is only one that I know of. It's the one near the parc ferme that attendees from last year would recall. As everyone will be on registered bikes, you can easily go around this obstacle. If you're on a Husky, that's probably a good idea anyway.

Breaking news

I've just been advised that the local pub has had an accommodation cancellation, so there might be a spot available if you're not keen on camping and have previously been advised that the pub is full. Hurry, as this won't last!
