Please make sure everybody going knows about this

With the world going the way it is, with litigation and the sorts, we have had to enlist the help of Hastings Valley Motorcycle Club and MCNSW in order to insure our Birthday Ride in July, should someone decide to sue OBT or the land owners at Seaview.

Not that we expect someone would consider it but by doing this, we ensure that everyone is covered in the event of an unforeseen mishap.

Unfortunately this coverage comes at a cost, a cost that will need to be covered by the participants who wish to ride on the property.

Don’t freak out, as the cost is minimal in the scheme of things!! The cost will be $30.00 per rider for the whole weekend. This cost involves a nominal $5.00 weekend membership to The HVMCC and a $25.00 MCNSW weekend recreational licence.
Those people with a current national MCNSW licence (will need to be produced when signing in NO EXCEPTIONS) will be exempt from the Day Licence fee and those who are already HVMCC members need not pay the day membership (will need to be produced when signing in NO EXCEPTIONS) .
Those arriving on Adventure bikes would also not have to worry about paying the licence or membership fee, if they are only using the camp ground.

Upon payment and issue of a receipt, you will get a sticker for your bike, no sticker, no access to the trails in other words no sticker NO RIDING!. If you think the cost is unreasonable, it would be best that you stayed at home, as we feel that it is a small price to pay considering how much a weekend at Louee or the likes would cost you.

The permit only covers Saturday and Sunday, there will be no riding on the property on Friday!!

Because of permit costs, only those few track setting will be on a bike on Friday and only for work reasons.

We appreciate your understanding on this matter and it is a pity that the world has come to this.

Can’t the two day license we have to buy allow us to ride which two days we choose as I suspect many will not plan on riding Sunday.

STM

No the permit is for saturday and sunday, The cost of three days was too much and most arent arriving until friday or late friday

I was planning on getting there before lunch on Friday and going for a ride because I will be annihilating myself on the piss Saturday night and might not be riding Sunday. For people travelling from far away is there somewhere we can ride on Friday? If not can I help setup?

I am hoping that Kevdog or someone around there on the way may put up a ride like they did before the last ride we did up there. Otherwise stay in Wauchope somewhere and have a ride around Bago or the likes there are plenty of tracks

Thanks for that, I am kind of looking forward to this. Always a bit hesitant to work on my KTM in case i cant put it back together for the next weekend which would = no ride

But with this I have a whole month to put it back together! What could possibly go wrong? (Hush – not a word!!)

Always happy to help Rach

Now as for this thread :woohoo:

Date for the August ride will be announced very soon (next few days) Also think it will be a mid north coast start and finish, say around Port / Wauchope

TB

[GregMember]

No questions stupid Rach. I have built a few now, good things (not a Yamaha but almost as good)
Check these out, start a thread and do a build. You don’t need all the bells and whistles to start with. Ask away I love a project build

Not overnight Lefty, normally takss two weeks to affect a good battery they say :huh:

Ok i am keen to try a bit of this type of riding so i currently have two options when it comes to bikes both are currenlty stock … the question is which one would be best for me for this type of riding?

1. DR650 – this is not as comfy on the tar but i am thinking the weight is better for the not so smooth stuff. Currenlty cant go more than 10 minutes up the road before you need fuel so first thing would be larger fuel tank! :S
2. BMW 650 – OMG i love the heated hand grips :laugh: and much more user friendly on the butt …can be a bit heavy though

I guess the question is how rough do the trails get that you go on?

WR250R Rach. That thing of Amy’s you couldn’t kill with a BIG stick. It’s done 40k, never needed a valve adjustment, doesn’t wear out chains, sprockets and tyres. Can be flogged all day, is light and nimble. Sure gives away a bit on the fast stuff but I often look down see I am doing 120 and Amy is still there. Check some of the videos on rumsoakedstudios she is quick on it.

Food for thought

DR otherwise and any bike can be fitted with heated grips

No good Snowy, if you need anything in Sydny pls sing out

Heal fast champ
