Naracoorte (SA) Vinduro: Sunday 28 August 2016

[VERi]

The first VERi event outside of Victoria will take place at Naracoorte in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia on Sunday 28 August.

It will be held entirely on private property at "Moorex" on the Bordertown Road, approximately 25 kms from the township. VERi is extremely grateful to the landowner for generously allowing us to ride there.

We are privileged to be riding on a loop that will be used for a round of the South Australian Offroad Championship on the weekend following, which is pretty cool! So, we also thank in advance the Green Triangle Motorcycle Club & Naracoorte Motorcycle Club for their assistance.

We anticipate that the loop will be approximately 20 kms in length.

There will be camping available at the venue, with basic facilities, on Saturday night for $10 per person. There are many accommodation options available within Naracoorte for those seeking more comfort. Thanks are due to the Limestone Coast Offroad Club for letting us use the facilities. We ask that everyone camping please treat all facilities with respect and care.

There is no organised catering booked, so bring your own supplies, or make use of the nearby facilities in town. There may be a sausage sizzle operating on Sunday, but this isn't confirmed.

As always, make sure your have ambulance cover. There will be first aid on site, but if officials deem it necessary we will call an ambulance, and the onus to pay if you're not covered will be on YOU.

Please note that as this event is entirely on private property, all riders will need to have a Motorcycling Australia licence. There will be single event recreational licences for all riders who need them. Having a registered bike and road licence will NOT be sufficient.

Entry fee is $60. There is no late entry fee. For this event only VERi will also waive the non-member fee. An entry form will be available for pre-entry via email soon.

We're also waiving the "cold start test" as well, though we don't want any bike started prior to the riders' briefing on Sunday morning. Start and finish times will be announced closer to the event. We are hoping to have a practice track open for a few hours on Saturday too. More details will be made available soon.

I spoke to one of the chaps organising the loop for the SAORC (the same one we'll be using) and he says that the total distance is anticipated to be closer to 30 kms. He was confident we will enjoy it.

There won't be any pre-entry as such, just enter at the event on Saturday or Sunday morning. We may have the entry form available for download prior to the event for download for anyone wanting to fill it out before hand, keep checking the VERi website.

A map explaining how to get the event will be on the website very soon.

The local Lions Club will be doing catering at the event on Sunday from the morning onwards. There'll be delicious hot food available, as well as coffee, tea and cold drinks. We ask all riders and friends/family/spectators to support them!

Please make sure all bikes are in a safe working condition prior to the event.

We are trying to get a rough idea of how people will be at the event so if you're reasonably sure you'll be there (no commitment) drop us a line at [email protected] and mention if you'll need a single event MA licence too.

Love to be going to this one but the 5 and a bit hour drive and putting crap away at the end of it might be a bit too much.

Coupled with the fact that my IT400 is shagged and my IT175 is fresh out of brakes.

[80-85 husky]

you'll have to buy some more bikes..nothing worse than running out of bikes...

[fred99999au]

And my DT200L is in resto back burner, my good IT200L is next in line, the last running IT200L is in the yard currently undressed, but in need of bearings, seals and love and may make it to Cooka.

Might be the KDX175 next, then the IT250H is a long back burner project, the IT250K will be after the IT200 (both of them, then possible the DT1A or the DT250F, or the seventies parallel twin Suzuki roadie, or maybe the RZ421.

I tell you, this working for a living is crap. imagine how much more time I would have to play with bikes...

oooohh yyeeeaaahhh.
