The VERi committee met last night, and naturally the 10th anniversary of this iconic event was the topic of much discussion.

We are planning on having a static display of vintage enduro bikes, that will be a feature of the Saturday night dinner. This is a chance to show that stunning garage queen to a wider audience! So, if you have a clean example of pre 1988 bike that you think would be suitable, please get in touch via email with some pics of your bike: [email protected]

Obviously bikes that are being ridden over the weekend won't be suitable.

We will have limited spaces available, so we might not be able to take up all offers for the Saturday night display, but everyone is welcome to bring bikes along and show them off around the camp site etc.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Ok, I don't get to brag too often (ok, never) but I think I must be in a pretty select group, having ridden and finished every Harrow vinduro.

I've listed the year, rider number, bike and medal below.

2009: 18B, 1979 Suzuki PE175, no medals awarded
2010: 20A, 1979 Suzuki PE175, bronze
2011: 16A, 1979 Suzuki PE175, gold
2012: 32A, 1979 Suzuki PE175, silver

2016: 115, 1981 Yamaha XT250, gold
2017: 33, 1981 Yamaha XT250, silver
2018: ?

I'm really looking forward to making it ten, or have I jinxed myself?

Who else has ridden all (or most) of the Harrow Vinduros since 2009?

After a brag like that, you'll need to bring a spare bike, maybe 2

I was poking back through old Harrow threads and re-found this one from 2015. Lots of fun smack talk and 14 pages of no arguments!! It was good to go back through the thread and got some good laughs and rekindled memories so now I'm looking even more forward to this years event - just as well as I've paid for my entry! 

[80-85 husky]

it was a great ride as well!!
