I would like to give a big call out to the guys who turned up mid week at Harrow , to Help the Veri Harrow organising team get this event together.

Dennis from the NSW VTR club , Billy Campbell , Colin and Jezza. These guys worked like " Trojans" to help us get this over the line.

A big personal thanks to Steve Baker for his planning , dedication and drive , "contrary to popular belief he is almost fun to be around". Top job by Reeksy , The Duncster and Kodi Master , great week team , hope we get another crack at it , " maybe we could make it just a little bit longer " ,  " may be a tunnel " or a special test under lights.

Yes to all those mentioned here and others including the harrow community who made this a great historic event I also take my hat off to u all.The work you all contributed is amazing you need a gold medal just to get it organised and yes 100 kms each day is hard work but worth every bit of a few aches the next day cheers

I must say I was impressed by the guy on the TS185 with old trials tyres who completed the course. Kudos also to my mate's brother who flew down to ride a bike he'd never seen before (CT185) after not riding a dirtbike for 20+ years. He reckons he'll be back next year, and will get his own bike!

There were a few first timers there - quite an introduction to vinduros!

even though I only got about 18ks, I thought it was awesome, first time I have been trail riding (or practically any riding, except a few laps in my ~ 1 acre paddock) for almost 30 years, I was having a ball, and surprisingly stayed on the bike, some bits were very tricky, but am keen to do more events when I get the bike back together and richened up...a lot

Me too! There are some good ones in Scooter News. The VERi Facebook page & website should hopefully have a few in next day or so too. I only took a handful of pics, but I'll try to get them online as soon as I can.

Well, stick another slug in it or put a bolt in the old one with some silicone (high temp stuff) and go to Blackwood.

Was good fun last year except for me nearly losing my mates bike in a rut that was nearly as deep as an '80 XT250.

Actually thinking about it, the DT175 are pretty forgiving, do you have an air leak somewhere? Have you pressure and vacuum tested the bottom end?

just found the cause of the melted piston, I filled the crank case with petrol Sunday, went to remove the engine from the frame tonight, which necessitates removing the ignition side cover to get one engine mount bolt out, when I loosened the screws, about a cup full of petrol came out...leaking crankshaft seal, who would have thought one could fail after only 25 years, and barely ridden  ::)
