2015 Hopetoun GP (Vinduro): June 20 - 21
« on: May 17, 2015, 11:11:05 pm »
The next event on the VERi calendar is the Hopetoun GP on the weekend on June 20 - 21.

This year we are going with a desert race/rally theme. Think early days of the Paris-Dakar, Baja 1000, Finke, Mint 400, etc, etc.  We hope to see some bikes with big tanks and other period accessories, as well as the usual vinduro bikes.

Keep checking this thread, the VERi website, and VERi Facebook page for more details. Entry forms should be available soon.

Here are some pics from around the interwebs to get you inspired...

I only have one working bike that is registered Tex, and it fits none of the criteria above. It does however only have about 4 inches of suspension. Can I bring that?

Of course!

Sorry I should make it clear that all of the usual pre 85 vinduro bikes are of course welcome, and will doubtless make up the majority of the field.

We are just trying to see if we can also attract a few different machines with this loose theme.

Sounds like it'll pass muster. Application to allow for rec reg is being processed now. Stay tuned and there ought to be confirmation shortly.
