What’s the go with bikes being registered for road use?

Somewhere I remember that they didn’t need to be, but I cannot find any info on their web site.

I remember previous years that rego wasn’t a requirement….

If your’re a starter Boony I’ll sling a few $’s ya way :woohoo:

Bikes always were to be registered, either full rego or an UVP – Unregistered Vehicle Permit

Some have come with jury rigged rego / plates etc.

The potential Insurance Liability from injury means riders need to be covered by Registration, have a licence and ride to their own abilities

Scrapheap Adventure Ride 2014 was one of our best. A great venue and a great bunch of people raising close to $70,000 for Down Syndrome NSW!!!

There was lots of laughter on arrival and the feedback was everyone had a great ride getting to Nymboida!
Friday night there were 3 differnet stews and a beef Curry to feed close to 100 people. No complaints and ample available. The big shed was great at meal times.
On Saturday morning Dave Ramsay lead a ride, with a lot of laughs too with the Milan 50cc scooter getting the most air on some of the jumps.

Saturday night was our biggest night ever with about 150 people sitting down together for a good dinner, trophies awarded, charity auction and then the raffle prizes! Looks like we will hit $70,000 in funds raised this year! A Great Effort by one and all

Best Scrapper – Chris Schneider – Milan 50cc Scooter
Best Engineered Scrapper – Charley Loomis – FZWhy 250
Best Vinduro – Demus Tintner – XT500
Best Sidecar – Dak Dak Dave Kawasaki 750 Sidecar
Most Raised Individual was Andrew Hunter who raised over $6,000, Graeme Girdler $4,136, Mike Case $3,076
Most Raised Teams was Team Inverell who riased over $10,000, closely followed by Toowoomba Scrappers $7,400 then Team DT with $4,075
Longest Distance was Graeme Girdler who rode up from the South Coast, only getting his licence 8 weeks prior. Matty Brumby had come up from Melbourne but only rode from Sydney.
Hard Luck Award went to Adam Wurr, who ran an old IT175, restored over 12 months. His bike broke down about 45 minutes after we left Dural and was shedding parts consistently whilst on the trailer the rest of the way to Nymboida.

I will be posting some Photo’s once I get done with the uploading!!

Once again a big THANK YOU to all who have attended or supported riders on this year Scrapheap Adventure Ride.

Loop Ride update

This is one not to miss!

Dave Ramsay has this update for the Saturday loop ride!

Karen & I rode the loop yesterday in interesting conditions. With lots of short sharp showers about keeping the dust down but wetting the clay up. Laytons Range will be out if it stays wet this week & Ramornie could be a worry. I will ride around it again on Friday arvo. Weather forcast isn’t great but hopefully might only be late afternoon storms on Sat. We rode through a cracker up around Clevland Crossing over the Clarence on our way home around 4pm yesterday . Anyhow a far cry from the dustbowl you rode out to last year. We are having a great start to Spring.

Caught up with Marcus at the Copmanhurst Pub & discussed how to tackle lunch. It would be great if we could give him a better idea on numbers, I could let him know Friday night & we could keep it simple & quick by offering Roast Beef or Pork rolls with chips & salad for one set price.

This ride sounds brilliant too!!!!
