New from Melbourne

Hello,  I've been watching here for a couple of years, I don't race but have a couple of older bikes that I ride sometimes, an RM250N & CR480, I use to race in the 70's & 80's.  A couple of my friends & work-mates sometimes race, we are in our 50's & 60's, racing is just not the same as when we were younger; carrying more weight, more injuries and more responsibilities.  Plus wearing-out vintage bikes in bad (read- muddy/wet) conditions does not interest me when I have to spend ages on ebay looking for parts.

I love the tech info that I find here, I love hearing from the enthusiasts on the forum.  :-)

From one newbie to another, welcome aboard.  Love the old CRs, kick start on the left is a pig but they sure got some grunt

put a light on it, grab a UVP and ride a Vinduro...great fun, check the VERI website. that rm would be sensational at the Hopetoun desert ride

G'day John, I was wondering when you were going to get involved here.  It'll be good to have you contributing with your knowledge and common-sense attitude.

I understand why you don't race, there are a few people here that wonder why more older vintage riders don't get out and race; older riders just can't take the risks as we did in the 70's & 80's.
