The Island Classic - Australia Day Weekend.

I have bunged this in the 'General' section, as it's not really a 'Ride Day' or a 'Track Day' as such.......

but anyway, if, like me, you have more than a passing interest in racing *older* motorcycles, then this is the meeting for you.

Should be a great 3 days of racing, for all the *old fogeys* out there, who remember what its like to wrestle 140hp on skinny tyres with *bicycle* frames ( hang on.......that was yesterday )

did someone say pissup in melbourne?

Sheit I was gonna do the confusion rally that weekend. wet tshirt comps, beer, bikes, can't ask for much more, this is damned tempting though. Want to see some of the old Vincent's strut their stuff as well as the Norton rotary's.

Torn between two pissups, feeling like a tool, drinking at both of you would be grouse and would rule!

Apologies to whoever sang the shit version of the song.

one of the guys i work with (Colin) is racing that weekend.

i've never heard of it before until he mentioned it.

Did he say what class ??

Gosling,
Yep I'm going ... was there last year and a right ripper of a weekend.

ps there are some pics fom last year on my site (see sig line) -> under racing

Nice site mate, but under the Forgotten Era links, there were no thumbnails ??

Will you be competing or spectating ??

Gosling,
Competing .... nah! but would luv to.
Checked the site, thumbnails are there, do you get thumbnails on the other pages?
Here's an example of some pics .....

It would be *great* to be out there , will have to be satisfied with watching......

I can access 1 thumbnail only, from PI 1/05 meeting, there is nothing under the Broadford heading ?

Not to worry, the other photos are great......nothing like the big old bangers racing......

Ne1 going to PI this weekend for classics / forgotton era?

Give me a call and we'll meet up down there - 0417-038 281

Enjoy,

Tony

Yep planning on going Sat or Sund depending on a planned other (dirt) ride...

Will call as soon as I get a clue about what day the dirty is on.

I'm still undecided between this and confusion rally, probably the latter though I reckon.
