I don't give a toss who enters our races, enduro trials or whatever. I often see PE's and IT's on the startline.
The rules say you can't ride up a class so if you pick Evo you aint ridin pre '85.. Simple.
I only wish you would come to Qld so i can ride an enduro bike and kick your arse!

Its not simple at all as the confusion on this thread shows.As long as you have 2 class's with based ondifferent criteia , one on the year of manufacture and the other on the state of technological developement, that overlap. Then riders like the Baker boys and thier Maico's , Geoff Ballard , Ross Nimmo to name a few will be able to ride both class's unless the one bike per class rule is applied.Then if your have two bikes the same you can still ride both class's and you will still have twin shock bikes racing against linkaged pre 85 bikes .I can't see the issue with that .Back in the day I raced a 1980 model twin shock against single shock bikes the following year.In the US Billy Grossi was campaining a twin shock Husky against single shock jap bike.Denny Shartz won a national in the early eighties on a twin shocked Maico.Mike Guerra rode twin shock Huskies in the 250GP's well into the eighties against the single shock works bikes from Japan.KENT HOWERTON RIDING A TWIN SHOCK SUZUKI WON THE US250GP AGAINST SINGLE SHOCK BIKES INCLUDING THE SINGLE SHOCK WORKS SUZUKI'S THAT THE EURO'S HAD.Hakan Carlqvist continued to ride a non linkage YZM against single shock Honda's,Suzuki's and Kawasaki's.
For those who don't want to see single and twin shock bikes in the same race.What era are you trying to recreate?
