How true Andrew, I (for club days) don't mind at all and Brad you are way to fast on the bikes you ride as it is so have nothing to worry about!! next you will wanting age restrictions on the riders as some of the 18 year olds ride to fast :D :D

I could not tell you what model that TT is but it has lights and is an off road bike being ridden very very fast!! lets make him use the indicaters at each turn that will slow him down ;D ;D

I hear what you guys are saying, and i agree its not really an issue in one offs, but at the end of the day laid back or not we are a VMX club that has distinct bike age groups, and we are not allowed to ride up either, so i would say yes to ignoring the odd part on a bike that is not period but to be fair the rule or lack of some rules can be applied to everyone which might mean that out of a 20 bike pre85 lineup 18 could be pre 90 and two pre85 (to exagerate) but you get the idea, once the flood gates are open it gets out of control. Off course the man is like greased lightning on anything but thats not the point really.

Good morning to all.

Have just been reading all the above comments, regarding the riding of non correct era bike. The committee has been made aware of what has happened & corrective action has been taken to fix the issue.

We 'TRUST' the members of our club to ride the correct era bikes, and it is not up to the committee to check what year model bike they are on, and half the time it is hard to tell.
When the problem was brought to the committees attention, we have contacted the affected party and resolved the issue in a correct and non confronting way.
This has happened before, and it was resolved, and now dought it will happen in the future, but we are committed to try to keep to the GCR's where possible, keeping in mind we try to accommodate to our members, eg ( single bike rider, and 4 stroke race for yonger than pre 75).

As we have stressed before, if you have a problem, contact the club committee (phone numbers etc on qvmx web site) and have a talk with us and we will do our best to fix it if we can.

We do not get paid for what we do, and the idea of vintage motocross, is to be able to ride old bikes in a fun and hassle free enviroment.

So I hope to see everybody at the agm to have a great final ride for the year, and to see you all vote in the new committee.

cheers
