It was just a thought, afterall there wern't many from VMXWA there this year. I also think that if the VMX nationals are to return to W.A a co-operative effort between clubs may be required too.

I'm not going to have a conversation on here about the loyalty/politics of clubs ,but you have to remember there is a lot of strong spirit of the era people involved with ozvmx across our country.  8)

have to agree Alison.  I think in time the whole thing will sort itself out for the betterment of the sport in the state.  But until then "ce la vie" (don't know if I spelt it right!!lol)

All the pre85 events so far as I know are to be run in conjunction with modern events ie club runs etc

Things going well.  Application in with MWA for affiliation.  Will know in about 6 weeks.

Had a run at short notice at the BSA club run (thank you)  Only 7 riders, but had a great time, signed about another 10 members.

Believe we now have approx 50 members, so all going well.  If you want to join or find out about the club go to the website:  http://pre85mxwa.com/

Next season one week VMXWA, next a pre85 event sounds good to me.  Just to have the choice and then hopefully in time a complete meeting of VMX and Pre85.  Now that would be great to see in WA.

Race line up of the club looks good and I hope to be on the line in 2010. The bike is nearing completion :)

Hey Shane we only had 7 bikes as we only got invited monday night, it was 32 degrees on Sunday, VMX raced the weekend before.  Just all rushed.  You can find a membership form at the website, though I feel we'll be alright.

Does that mean Ross and I have to put up a fatboy racing tent at the meetings!!  lol  Ross will be happy any excuse to wear his kaftan!! and tea cosy

Ross as i said don't quote me on figures, but we had to have the application into MWA last Friday, with a certain amount of members, I have been known to be wrong, but I think the last time was 1968 or was it my last post!!lol

Cheers Tossa, I going on holidays tomorrow for a month but will be signing up when I get back. I though 3 = collector or nut case ;D but greedy is fine LOL. The race format looks good, I just what to go for a blast and I am not into supercross style tracks. Natural terrain is more me; the only thing I have to prove is having a good day out.

I hope the RG will be accepted; the bike was manufactured in 85, picked up in November 85 and was in the first shipment of 6 to WA, apparently the rest when to teams. The bike is an 86 and I don’t intent to change models, that decision was made when I bought the bike along time ago.  :)

Think you might have problems entering the bike in Pre85 races, though we will have ride days.  But that is something yuo'll have to sort out with the Committee

Tossa, I talked to Ian Campbell a few years back and his feeling was more the merry & casual as but I guess some might get caught up on the 85 date. I will approach committee and see how they feel but if I am not allowed to play with your group then I will have to do a lonely. We are a small community so I hope it doesn’t end up being tragic for me.

No offence to Ian but this is a totally new entity.  What Ian tried to (and tried damn hard) to get up and running, just didn't get going.   This is being organised by different personnel.  The club is formed along the lines of all Classic motorcycle clubs that race bikes of the era. 

My suggestion is to contact Paul through the website

The feral photographer still has to put up a "Wanted" part of that section. She hopes to be able to complete it this weekend.  We have some hard task masters dictating the content of the website.  But have to be sympathetic to their wishes, they do live in manjimup!!lol   Technology, just arrived there
