Welcome to The Vintage Motocross Club of WA (VMXWA)
| |
VMXWA is the leading body actively promoting Vintage Motocross in
Western Australia.
The Club runs a full winter calendar from March through to around October.
The tracks used by the Club include natural terrain and established 70's era
tracks, ideally suited to VMX racing. Racing is low-key with the emphasis on
restoring, riding and enjoying your 'vintage' machinery.
Introducing the sport to
Western
Australia in 1995, VMXWA set out to recreate the
sights, sounds, smell and camaraderie of the 'golden years on motocross' - the
60's and 70's. The underlying theme in Vintage Motocross is "the spirit of
the era". You won't find any modern "obstacles" on a VMX track,
but you will find mud, dirt, dust, hills and a group of riders who love the
sport and the bikes they ride.
Pre-75 Vintage Motocross
VMXWA is exclusively pre-75 era, so if you own a trail or dirt bike, solo or
sidecar built before December 31st 1974, with no more than 7" front wheel
travel and 4" rear wheel travel, then it's eligible for vintage
motocross with VMXWA.

Here it is... whatever it is!
Some said it couldn't be done... some said it shouldn't be done!!
The absolute ultimate in dirt bike pleasure,the best of both worlds (a) one of the most technically advanced frames in its day (b) period lime green tank and guard (c) state of the art suspension front and rear (d) 45 brake horse power on tap,350cc of Torque Induction,twin cylinders running two 28mm Mikuni carburettors WOW what else could a man want?
All that is missing is a name for the Behemoth.I shall be running a competition with the winner awarded a book entitled 'The History Of Greeves' for the best name given to her.The name must include the following in its construction "Yamaha" and "Greeves".
**Webmaster: How about "Yam-a-greeves-aha!"**
Good luck. Send your artistic literary efforts to the prez:

Okay you guys there’s something like 150 VMXWA members out there but as to date not one of you has put your hand up for the all important position of Club Secretary, I really don’t know what you’re all afraid of? There’s a free crash course on “How to be a perfect Club Secretary” from Mr Tudehope and a free plastic box to carry around all those important documents.
Seriously though we need someone to replace our ‘knackered’ secretary, he’s done a sterling job for the past few years but needs a break and we need a fresh face up there at Club meets. It really isn’t a big deal, perhaps one of you over 55’s would like to step up to the challenge or even a country member would like to take up the reins. If you are remotely interested or would like to dob in mate in let me know. Give the old bugger a break!
President Pete
*Webmasters Note: I can confirm that the old Secretary is as worn out as a filterless XL350 on a dusty Narrogin Sunday  * |
