Tassie riders unite

[aptitudex]

Hi guys

Correct me if im wrong, but there isn't a lot of organised Mini MX (and motard ) events, or decent places to ride in Tassie. By decent, I mean purpose built mini moto tracks. It may be different in the south, but up north in Launceston there isn't a whole lot. Apparently the Braaap guys are building a track near the drags, but will it be open to everyone or just braaap riders ???

The Braaap guys are great, and have a great product, but not everyone can afford to start at that level.

Im proposing to develop a new website ( im a web developer ) to bring some of the tassie riders together, and as a group we can have more negotiating power as far as venues, and buying products and bikes. And we can then organise a location and regular events.

What do you think?

man i know exactlly when you are coming from.. home grown tassie boy and it sucks unless you have your own s**t load of land..

i know the braaap boys have something going on out riverside way.. yet to go out there but about the track near the drags i havnt heard about that. i might have to go in and talk to the guys in at braaap, paulie and the guys XD

if a track out there is built then i dont see why not anyone cannot go out there and have a bash but ill have a talk and get back to ya man =)

I talked to Brad via email, and a 'Braaap Club' is in the works. It will be open to all brands of mini 4 stroke bikes, not just Braaap ...

Bikes will need to pass scruitneering though, which is obviously important as safety should be the number 1 priority, and a close second of course, being 'FUN'!!!.

The track at Tarmak Dragway is ready to be built. They are just looking for some decent 'DIRT' from somwhere to build it with.

So if anyone has some spare truckloads of dirt lying around, get in touch with Brad on 63319726.

Further discussions ...

I have agreed to help out, and develop a website for the new club.
It will include a forum so everyone will have a chance to have their say.

Should be up in the next couple of weeks ... stay tuned.

as in for braaap or?

 

[aptitudex]

Well the site is for the club, not Braaap. But just so happens the club was started by Braaap, and is named 'Braaap Club' ... u confused now ?

It will be open to all makes though.

 

[aptitudex]

You think it should be completely independant of Braaap, the club and website?

 

[darb110]

why who else is in on it?? ill talk to paulie get em to be completlly independant =P

 

[aptitudex]

So dude, where do you ride ?

 

[Brad.R]

braaap club should be up and running soon but other than that i completely agree with you about there being no organised events.
