I'm not sure we need a "Team Manager" but I'll do my bit to try and make it happen!

I noticed a few YZ 2 strokes. In years gone by, all enduro bikes had to be road registered as parts of the course were on public roads like seen at Orange. How do they get around that these days?

Zorroz,
I have been reading(other website) this morning the changes and have seen a change in modern motocross in the last 10 years,(some people will probably say longer)..
I believe its all about money,promotion,marketing and getting larger numbers entered.
Its all show and shine now,    as you can see with the Yamaha mover in the about pics-
how much more Yamaha signage can they have hanging off the bus. 
Don't get me wrong the big events are great,but the mateship isn't there as in VMX.
Different zones 
I think I'll be staying with VMX for a few years yet 
cheers Alison
ps thanks for the pics though Jock,sure is a different world.

several ways. i think most officials would be switched on so i doubt there would be dodgy illegal regos. not sure what its like for all states but you can get permits for MX bikes sometimes when you fit lights etc. Also you can go the route of getting full ADR compliance but its very expensive. In SA its not too hard to do to get MX bikes on the road but not many people do it these days. everyone wants a WR250F or a 450 yam or KTM..

You don't need rego anymore. Nearly all the pros use motocross bikes with lights attatched to look like enduro bikes. The lights either run off a small battery or an enduro ignition system and only have to work for scrutineering and at the end of the event.

[JohnnyO]

I think the organisers take care of all the necessary permits and insurances.

[JohnnyO]

I think it's to cover costs and also because it's international some of fees probably go to the FIM.

I've done a few 4Days over the years and would LOVE to tackle one on an old bike - mind you, they can be tough enough on a NEW weapon. Let's keep the ball rolling on this - I want in!

Found this old thread-so how's the planning going-are we up for it still or is the whole thing stilborn?
Sounds like a shit hot idea and one that would catch on as there is no reason Vinduro can't be as big as VMX.
By the way, are there any Vinduros coming up in SEQ or Nth NSW? as October looks bare and I'll need to give the XR200 a run before it gets too hot.

There might also be the option of riding the event as a clubman, I think that's what it's called. Correct me if I'm wrong.  I was told that you can turn up at any enduro event and ride the course after the competitors.  No entry fee. You just have to pay a few bucks.  That could always be an option if you don't want to tangle with the rest of the modern bikes.  Providing the whole idea behind it is to just ride the course and finish it rather than compete.

Hang on , "ride the course and finish it" isn't that competing in an enduro?? lol
