Haha. Appropriate forum name. Ya bastard! Lol

[Devilman]

Good to hear your home safe Champ... Thanks for coming....  No dramas on the homeward leg?? hammy cramps??? always the worst after a coupla days of race action... theres nowhere to stretch it out in the car.. specially if your driving right

[Ted]

SO to you blokes from Vic who never showed ... shame Victoria shame....

 and you dead beats up north who never showed...we expected that .... you know who you are...
 
even some western Hill-Billys managed to get their camel train across  the desert to attend.... Shalom

Only took my bro a good hour to drive me and Dad to Ravo.. 

I got talking to Oz MX Champion John Armstrong at the track... JA to his mates...   and he said his first race at RAVO was like.. 1950 something but the tracks been used since as far back as 1926...  Now JA is like 88years young so these details can become clouded but 1926??? Were they racing Camels??? I was touched with the historical significance..  Possibly oldest operational track in the whole universe !!!! Is there any confirmation for this

JA was in the pits his son young Gary who came down and touched up the locals... on the track!!!! Glad I wasn't in that class....

Vanberslow made it down!!! He was all over it... making us look slow and weak... I hate it when he gets all the laughs...
 
I suffered embarrassment  when holeshot in moto2 of pre90 125 by the red 110h my god I wish he stayed in Qld who came to the  line on his EVO after his pre90 yammy broke....  white puss... I chased and passed him back on my red rocket to win the moto which felt good... untill i hear his shock bolt fell out ... making it more like 110h crap!!!! Sweet victory tasted kinda like... Coke Zero though....   his double misfortune boosted me up the leader board... & after the yellow 150 stepped aside .... I dunno what happened there... Old mate blew my boot savers off moto 1...  then struggled with mechanicals .. yellow puss.. he ended in hospital with some shoulder dislocation  or similar issue after moto3.... At which point I became Aussie Champ!!!

My Bradbury moment....  Magnificent

Bendigo Club!!! I definitely couldn't have done it without your group effort which I grade 10 out of 10  and thank all involved with planning and conducting the event which tested our technical riding skills on sat but allowed us to hang the balls out a bit on sunday which always feels good and lets face it.... its always more fun with exposed gonads ... Right??? ***crickets****

My Bro and Dad both helped and enjoyed my success 

Thanks to all who entered races on the weekend and' in your face' to those who didn't..... You could have had a crack but now have to suffer in your jocks..  knowing you missed a bunch of fun!!!

After hearing about the Marvel from Mexico we built a bike to see if we could compete against the best. Off to QMP we go in 2013 and he isn't there. Off to Echo Valley in 2014 and he isn't there either. No problem, off to Port Augusta we go in late 2014 to race him. Seeing as it is way closer for him than us, we assume he will turn up. Still a no show. Not once did us northern deadbeats question your commitment. Unlike yourself.

We've moved on from insurance company pseudo 6 minute title races and came up with a race series right up your alley. 3 x 15 minute ( guaranteed ) motos with a $1,000 to the winner.  2015 Maxima Racing Oils Conondale  Classic. Conondale QLD 8th / 9th AUGUST. The money is there. Will you be?

[Devilman]

No chance.. of me showing..

one lucky, broke a$$, well satisfied aussie champ here ... looking forward to an extended period of basking in the glow of my gold  and bronze medals...  MA piece of history... You might have had a chance... we'll never know..... Glen Bell will own it... who's staring a book?? without looking at a list of entries gotta be sweet odds on moto sweep by the Champ

I wish that track was closer. I'd ride the crap out of it. My main problem was my hands and forearms. The trip home was very uneventful, thank f$&k. Drove straight through, 530 am till 130 am.
Catch ya.

[Devilman]

Good to hear Champ...  Any word on Jakey from ASHS SPOKED WHEELS... event co sponsor....

[Devilman]

Ted... did you say late 2014??? Shoot.. I was in Amsterdam.. Missed the whole damn thing.... Love the RIJKS museum .. How did you fare in PORTO???

[gdr]

Miss that scence humor

[Devilman]

gdr it was not what you think... It was a 3 day museum challenge punctuated with 10%Alcvol beer made by monks and much vomit... friendships were strained.... and the fricken cyclists mopeds trams cobbled roads made for a bunch of close calls just getting to a museum.... I pulled out after the first museum

[FourstrokeForever]

You're a deadset legend Nick. Shame I didn't really get to catch up with you other than to say g'day and good to see you out! You must of been well behaved after dark which isn't your usual style 
Your facts about the Ravo track are spot on mate. I was talking with the club El'presidente' later on Sat night and he told us all how close the venue was to collapsing when the council decided it was time to close the track as the 10 year lease was up......so he filled the pen pushers in on the history of Ravenswod. Seems even the council weren't aware of the historical significance of the place.
The first scramble event was indeed in 1926. On what I don't know..... more likely to be jumbumcks than camels....then there was a bit of a break for reasons that escape me now (read, staying in the club house til 3am) and the place then really came alive in the 50's. They even had a dedicated bus that would ferry spectators from Bendigo in their Sunday best out to watch the men and their magnificent machines get bruised, broken and battered, then drive them all back again. Scrambling was a big deal to the district back then. The venue has been going non stop since. And the council agreed in all their wisdom that the place was indeed special to the area and low and behold, the joint may stay open......

Hey Teddles, you stood me up, I thought we had a "date" in the pits. Raincheck?
