Choose another vintage discipline, what would it be.
« on: December 29, 2016, 10:50:23 pm »
Choose another vintage discipline that you would like to get involve in, but money may be stopping you or its hard to break away from
the sport that you are currently involve.  for example VMX, trials, road racing, dirt track vinduro.

I would like to get involved in, Historic road racing,  but i cant seem to break away from VMX.

One of the most friendly, fun events I've participated in was "The Big Chill" road race meeting at Stanthorpe QLD.
Historic road racing, (and thankfully a modern Supermoto class).

I have opted for bush riding/touring  with mates .Bought a follow on model 1995  DR 650 SE  ;) You go where you want , you go when you want ,you stop where and when  you want, you go as hard as you want , you spend as much as you want  and you go with whom you want . I love it . Should have switched much earlier.
VMX shocks , We don't just sell them - I design and produce them individually for you since 1989.

would like to have a go at flattrack short circuit grass track etc but i don't have the drive to get organised. unless an event pops up in front of me ill probably keep riding the vinduro's for all the reasons above, good people having a ball on great tracks. just like the old enduros without the score card...no pressure, low cost and good times.

i plan to have a spare wheel for the bbb so i can give the flattrack a run...if i can get organised (now that's the real issue ::))

Currently spend a bit of time on the Vic Vinduro circuit, and want to branch into (Vintage) trials.

Hence, the Sherpa resto.

Vinduro....or Vintage Adventure trails or whatever you would call it...you know huge tank on a xt 500 down the Birdsville track, over the Tanami desert, then up the Gibb river road that kind of thing.

Keeping it "vintage", you'll have to put your tail dragger skills to use in a Tigermoth.
I learned to fly in a 1950s Bell 47. Wooden blades, Franklen engine.
It's all "computers" and digital displays these days.

Ill be keeping it "vintage"  Wow I'm impressed! you learnt to fly in the 1950s did fly in Korea?
I had some great times as a sprog one of the instructors was Doc he flew Caribu's
Bell 47B 1945, 157 hp top speed 169 km/h the first helicopter in the world to be officially certified for civilian use (is that the one?)
Ill be keeping at the light end of the scale as money is an issue and no I don't want to fly digital with bells and whistles going off and hearing "terra firma go up" just the wind whistling past is enough going in dead stick ( practicing for out field landings LOL)

Can probably arrange something for you Bill.

Wouldn't mind a go in a superkart and fanging a MkI or Mk2 Escort looks like a lot of fun if a little expensive. Historic rally would be great but getting my head around listening to pace notes is a bit of a hurdle. These days with 2.4 litre and Warrior 16v heads and all the other bells and whistles Escorts are around the 250hp mark or there is the Honda S2000 engine swap which is about 350hp in a 900kg car ;D
