Vintage Trail Riders Inc (VTR) started as an idea around a campsite one night. Dennis Myers, Greg Holmes and Mick Jones, three mates from vintage motocross, wanted to create a way of riding their old bikes that was pure fun. They started thinking about their younger years, out camping, riding their bikes in the bush and yarning around a camp fire.

In 2014 they negotiated the official paper work and VTR was born.

The two nights camp, one and a half day cross country trail ride and socialising around the camp fire caught on and membership grew. So too did venue numbers and Dennis and Greg in particular carried the club with good policy, hard work and great enthusiasm. They found new venues, courted land owners to let the club ride, officiated at rides (MA sanctioned) and organised the building of the tracks. VTR owes it’s existence the work of Dennis and Greg in those early years.
These days the riding continues along the same basic concept of Riding for Fun, with the work load shared out amongst general members. If riding old dirt bikes and getting around a camp fire sounds like your sort of fun you’ve probably found the right place for it….

VTR rides .......

Vintage Trail Riders Club seeks to recreate old fashioned bush camping on simple technology bikes from the golden years of trail and enduro
 
NEW BIKE COMPLIANCE RULES FOR 2025:

Bikes must comply with the following -
1. Have non upside down forks
2. Have no rear disc brake
3. Must be fitted with a 1960’s-80’s period looking headlight, i.e. round,
square or rectangular, not a modern “Raptor” look. The headlight does not
have to be working
4. The bike must be made pre-1995, i.e. up to and including 1994 models
Exemptions permitted:
* Follow-on models after 1994 will be permitted at the discretion of the committee
provided they comply with the first three rules above and look correct for the period
we are seeking to capture. The intention of this exemption is to include bikes that are
easier to start and ride for older and/or more slightly built members, not the
membership as a whole. Approval must be sought from the committee before
entering such a machine.

* One of the three (3) mechanical requirements 1 to 3 above can be altered on a bike,
provided it is a pre-1995 model. For motocross bikes the only item allowed to be
added or changed will be the item 3, the headlight.

* Hybrids, that is, a different manufacturer’s engine in a different frame will be allowed,
provided both original machines comply with the above four (4) rules.
