VinduroWA
« on: September 08, 2014, 10:48:54 am »
VinduroWA (Vintage Enduro Club of WA)
 
We are looking for people who are interested in riding their classic bikes  in enduro’s or on trail rides.  We are looking at forming a club based on that premise.  The club is looking to promote the sport of vintage enduro’s and open it to all bikes built prior to 31 Dec 1989, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s we don’t care.  There will be no modern bikes.  These will be days of fun and occasional competition on DT1’s, Savages, KLX’s, PE’s, WR’s, XR’s, IT’s and exotic bikes like the SWM, Bultaco etc, the bike does not have to be licenced for the road, so you can run your MX bike if you wish.  If you‘ve got a bike from the era bring it along.  All you require will be the right safety gear, and your bike prepared properly and a sense of humour
We are looking for properties where we can do 10-20km loops and the idea is to conduct social and competitive rides, but basically back in the day rules, the fastest will not always win.  We hope for members to arrange and run events, all levels of experience welcome.  We hope to hold events that commence about 9am and completed by approx. 2pm with members covering around 100kms or whatever they feel like completing.  So if you know of anyone with property or you own property that we might be able to use, please let us know
The club will be affiliating itself with MWA, to ensure insurance cover and regulated meetings.  It is hoped to have a social meeting which will involve a ride in the near future to work out whether we have enough members to form a club, and the way ahead.
If interested and wish to be involved please send your details to [email protected]   There are no politics involved we just want to have a great time with likeminded people.  We would love to hear from you if you have any ideas on the subject.

About time the VINDURO craze hit the far Western state of Australia!

Cheers

40yrs ago my dad and a group of speedway riders formed the Trail and Enduro club over here in the West.  Became the largest club in WA within 12 months, because it filled a void.  Hopefully we might get as few members ourselves.  Would appreciate any info on how you run your events in the East

The heaven guys run a good event ,now they have easy and hard section on the course which covers all level of riders ,the 10 to 20 km loops is a good length also they run it as a rec ride to keep the cost down on the riders , as a non competitive event you complete yourself on how many laps you can do . For the event if you do 5 laps you get a bronze sticker ,10 for silver and so on depending on the length of the loop . I hope this helps alittle and all I can say is they are the best fun you can have cheers Ek

Jeez, I started work on the Leader of the Opposition for leave passes for Canowindra and Murphys Creek in 2015, and now you throw this in the mix - another potential interstate trip! I'm gonna have to get her a new pergola for the house or a new car or something!

Good luck with the new club, it's a bit of work but ultimately worth it when you hold an event that people enjoy.

Ekka makes some good points. Recreational events are easier to run, and a good way to gauge interest in running competitive events too.

Best of luck, I look forward to reading WA vinduro ride reports here soon.

It is great to hear you are keen to have competitive rides, sure do wish we had a series of competitive vinduros here in Victoria on private propertys that did not require rego, my bike would get the dust off it in a flash and turning up to ever vinduro race I could possibly get to :-)

What ever you decide to do, good luck with it all.

Cheers Mick.
