The inaugural OzVMX Resto Expo brought to you by Shannons

[Kenneth S (222)]

For a while now it's been on our minds that there is a whole community amongst us of 'old dirtbike' restorers who love this sport just as much as us riders and racers do. Some still ride, some not so much. They toil long and hard to bring the old bikes back to life but often don't get out to enjoy or show off their achievements. We thought it was time to give them that opportunity and put a premier 'old dirt bike' event together for NSW where those restorers could come out of their sheds and garages, get some Vitamin D, rub shoulders with the rest of us (perhaps enjoy a cold ale or two) and show us what they got.

Announcing the OzVMX ‘Resto Expo’, a dream weekend for restorers and enthusiasts of old dirt bikes.
Restorers of old dirt bikes, this weekend is a time for you and your works of ‘Moto Art’ to shine. You are the unsung heroes of our great sport. An army of craftsmen in your own right, labouring towards perfection as you caringly clean, repair, paint, polish and assemble beautiful old dirt bikes back to their former glory.
We want you the Restorers to bring your ‘labours of love’ out to sparkle in the Aussie sunshine at ‘Dargle on the Green’ to be appreciated by all of us fans of old dirt bikes. A Show n Shine, Swap Meet, Cruisy Grass Track ride, and Camp Out, all on the banks of the mighty Hawkesbury River, for the whole VMX community to enjoy.
So get the polish out, buff that steed up and join in the fun so we can all have the chance to appreciate your fine work. Let’s start something big, give NSW its own premier old dirt bike event and make the Resto Expo the event on the calendar to show and appreciate these beautifully restored machines.

Well done OZVMX team, hope to come up from Vico if time & funds permit, I like the sound of the cruisy grass track, that should bring out the older steeds that don't seem to be getting catered for nowadays   On the opposite end of the spectrum is there a newest model year cut off?  

[Kenneth S (222)]

Smed, we've decided t go to Pre-95. The weekend is planned primarily as a social weekend though with the main purpose for the grass track to be somewhere the restorers can give their bikes a run if they want without the intensity of a modern MX track. It would be great if some of you guys from down South could make it.
Cheers,
Kenneth

We are very pleased to announce that Ken and the team at VMX Magazine have given their support to the OzVMX Resto Expo and have become our very first sponsor of the event sponsoring the Cruisy Grass Track. Now known as the VMX Magazine Cruisy Grass Track. Thanks to Ken and the team for getting behind this event.

Just a thought?

    The cruisy grass track thing?
  Will there be say a couple of brief ride brackets set aside for the older retired blokes?
Say if they wanted to throw a leg over and parade their bike, without having to get roostered or deal with a track full of quicker then lightning up and coming wipper-snappers.

We're a step ahead of you Mick. The riding will be exactly that. Separated in brackets so the riders of 'parade bikes' (love that term) can enjoy them selves at their own pace.

This sounds like a very cool event. Wish I could go.

G'day & it's great your doing this, it's well over due. Is there room for old bikes that aren't made up to factory spec & are full of aged panitina ? Jimson

Absolutely Jimson. If you Register and purchase the Rider upgrade you can bring any dirtbike Pre-95 or older and ride it on the Grass Track. You will need a MA license though as the track will be licensed. There is an option on the registration form to purchase a day license which will cover you for both days. Kenneth
