Vintage Motocross Club of WA

The last ride at Narrogin this coming weekend on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2020 will be run under a Ride Park format. It will be more like a practice day with groups of riders going out and testing their bikes and just enjoying the track for the last time. The cost per rider is $20 for the weekend as MWA and MA have waived their fees. You don’t have to be a member or have a license but you have to sign a waiver when you sign on to ride the track. This is for PRE 75 bikes only and a great opportunity for everyone to blow the cobwebs out without the cost of license and membership fees.

Please note that the club will have their barbecue there but that’s all so bring all food/ drink/ chairs/ table/ esky. Just plan and pack as if you’re going to a farm track as all the luxuries of Narrogin have already been relocated.

Riding will commence after 12pm on Saturday.

Hope to see everybody there, will be a great weekend to catch up with all members old and new.

Please find below an update (taken from an email) from Joe McCarthy regarding the return to motorcycling activities post Covid-19. At this stage it is looking positive that our June meeting at Narrogin will be going ahead based on recent government movements regarding crowd sizes (always subject to change).

    Hi all

 

    Please see below a simplified version of how the sport will begin on July 1. As a simple rule contact your land owner and let them know your plans. We do not require you to send us any COVID-19 forms .They are there for you to use if your council or landowner requires them. Any questions give us a call at the office. Please also consider calling the COVID -19 helpline –COVID-19 Public Health Operations phone number: 6373 2222.

The most important aspects to remember are below

1. Social distancing at all times
