Title: Collie Motorplex Vintage Bike Racing August 10th and 11th
Post by: Silky on July 26, 2013, 06:01:57 AM
Greetings all ... I've been a bit busy with my new career change but still have the love for all things motorcycle related .

On the August weekend 10th and 11th there will be vintage bike racing at the Collie track and having been out for a look on many occasions I can recommend it .

Being 200 k from Perth , Collie is an ideal day trip with a few options for the return journey .

I work Saturday night but will be mobile about 12.00 midday so could meet up with a few of you in town if anybody is interested .

I think every one has been a bit busy with the border run, and an RTE on 18th.  Beyond that, I hardly know what Im doing till the boss tells me..

Collie Motorplex is a black top race track and has a drags strip with some of the old Ravenwood Drags set up .

They have drift days , motor racing , bike track days , police training , Super Motard State Titles a few years back , Vintage bikes .

Who ever hires the track for the day , sometimes free or $10 , vintage racing usually free entry .

Thanks Silky, we had a great time at the rally, very interesting to see both classic and new race bikes together. We had an eventful trip on the way back and got lost twice.  :||||  :||||  :|||| but we eventually found collie again, got a bit wet but back home safe and sound.

Cheers Pete , you must have missed the turn off at the end of the first straight .

Some of the old bangers were doing quicker laps out there too (ridden by old guys with more experience no doubt )

I'll post up when the next meet is on and we may get a few more lookers next time .

Free admission and a good bike crowd at the track makes for a good day out , was good to meet you .
