Yes, as far as I'm aware, it's always been run by Holbrook MC, under the auspices of MA.

Rumour has it that  AMTRA is not part of this ride anymore. Is this correct?

Just trying to work out if it's still on.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if AMTRA (NSW) pulled out.

Been speaking to Pauly and he didn't like the way things smelled.

I'd still expect the event to go ahead though.

Looks like it's official!

Will be run as a standard ONE day event and hosted by the Holbrook MC.

I'll get entry forms up on-line shortly.

So what wasn't smelling right? What's the rymes and reasons?

Murray wanted to run it as an AMTRA ride, with no insurance available for those wanting to ride WITHOUT registration.

The Cooka Vinduro has always been open for non-registered bikes to enter, but has always been run with an MA event insurance policy (for those who needed it).  In the past, it was conducted under the auspices of the Holbrook MC.  Murray wanted it to be a 2 day event, which means a different insurance policy, and more $$$.  To avoid this, Murray hoped to call it an AMTRA ride, with all entrants becoming and AMTRA member for the day, which is fine, except that it doesn't provide any insurance for non-registered bikes and that's the bit that stank!

So it appears that the event is back to a one dayer, with MA insurance through Holbrook.

Thanks for the info Serge, Chris  Kiora and myself are going representing team IT blue. I have not ridden this event before so, looking forward to it. Are you going Harko?

Seems to be about the only event that Chris gets to, these days.

Be good to catch up with him again.

When are you likely to head up, Wade?  Reckon I'll go up Saturday avo and stay at the motel in Holbrook Saturday night.  Bugger camping!

G'day Evo, when I saw it was going to be only a one day I was in two minds. Now seeing you are going I will definitely be going. The more the merrier. Has Chris been in contact?

If I can drive to Joogs for a day ride then Holbrook is just around the corner.
