2016 MoMS out

[KTM47]

something like this perhaps!
Pre65 
Pre70   
pre75   
pre78   
Pre81            twin shock factory stock std inc yamaha cantilever, No disc, liquid, linkage or USD
Pre85   
Pre90   
Pre95  oh oh what have i done?

So you want to push the 81 Maicos and Yamahas out of the class.

Pre 95 in five years time (maybe)

[Ted]

And when that happens Kevvy it will also be in the Post Classic period and Evo will have another era to encompass. It will be an ever evolving class.

I heard that five years ago...

[KTM47]

We have now established that most State Main Roads (or what ever they are called) don't consider a car or bike for Vintage or Historical rego until they are at least 25 years old (some 30 years).

So we have a year definition of Vintage or Historical.

Fact not fiction or hysterical bull shit.

Luckily '81 490 Maicos are competitive up to '85. 

[KTM47]

No they belong in the EVO class.  Rick invented the class for them.

If I have to race bikes with disc brakes I will just run into them in the first corner.

not if you're in front

You will have to stay on first Kev , you did a fair bit of gardening at echo valley

and way beyond 85 – Viper members who were at the Castlemaine meeting maybe 3 years ago will remember the Maico with a not so young rider coming 3rd in the all powers modern race,  was brilliant for the spectators seeing that twin shock bike "on the edge"
(hope my memory is correct on that)

I agree, I still have footage of Ballard at CD4 at Barrabool, awesome combination. Great entertainment.
It's a testament to the bike that they have to compete with disc braked, linkaged, liquid cooled bikes in more modern chassis and still finish at the pointy end.

A Historical Vintage fact - with the usual dose of Bureacracy sprinkled on it!
so why do they do that?

[mboddy]

Why does EVO need the bikes to be changed? Were the riders unhappy?
Just sort out the rules so that the class is the same as it was this year and with no need for interpretations.

Ballard has put an 84 Honda front end on his Maico with a disc brake.  So he thought it needed one to be competitive.

So a fair bit is falling off once.  Get your facts straight. Anyway the garden was over ploughed and over watered.
