Thought i would kick start everyones memory, its that time again........Sunday, 18th September.
Last year was a cracker of a day, looking forward to this year as well.......

Anyone half interested in Ducati's should call in for a look.
Last year was an interesting weekend, on the Saturday prior to the event we went on the Five Ferrys Ride. Remember ? hmmmm.....? Someone stole one of the ferries that day and we went bush, compliments of our fearless navigator, our Garmin Gov's ears would have been burning late that afternoon..... [roll]
I heard a reliable rumour that a certain OZMO member on the northern beaches is entering, and has been working late into the night at his factory, with the roller doors locked down..........just happened to be passing by, (yet again) and managed to find this outside the factory.......

Gosh! :o He must be busy, he even has all those ay-meri-can cars parked all over the place too!
Not trying to drum up any competition are ya Bwian? ;)
Mmick
Oh yay
Ok all you 4 valve owners out there. Don't hand it to Teff on a plate, get your tooth brushes dremels and mr sheen out, and start a polish'n. :)
Old, should i say very Old Teff needs to earn it, make him sweat :-*
Rob, are you entering "Precious" ? [thumbsup] giggle [thumbsup]
(http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/001-18.jpg)
I think someone needs to help me clean my bike.....
More than welcome to pop on over Mr MV for a clean (meaning bike) in the next few weeks..... [coffee]
Or if you like, leave it here with me while you hit Perrisher with your snow bunny mates....... [thumbsup]
Hmmmm... Now that Jukie has a fridge, that 2 valver trophy might just be up for grabs...

Bump for suzy [laugh]
So now I have a 4v hmmm
tell me guys, is this event judged like a traditional concourse where factory style bikes with factory style mods are the flavour? i was asked if i was getting my bike ready for it at a local shop the other day, but my first thought was it wasnt suited to me especially with my 100:1 ride to wash ratio it all sounds like too much cleaning!! haha. is there a ride involved?

A few years back they changed the judging of the Monster category to entice more entrants because practically all Monsters are modified. 'Traditional' concours judging is far more relevant for the hysterical categories (bevels, singles, etc). So mods will be accepted, recognised and judged for what they are ... cleanliness is an ever-present criteria though.
Be mindful that mileage (or kilometreage) is also a major component of the judging (or has been) ... so maybe Big will ride his bike through a puddle and take out the category ???
Regardless of whether you are 'in it to win it' it is still worthwhile to try and get there with as many bikes as we can. Sometimes people meet up 'en-route' but we don't normally organise a ride beforehand (some take it far too serious for that).

Hi Mark & Julie, welcome back..... as for not normally organising a ride beforehand........let me refresh some memories here. Last years Concourse, the day before we did the Five ferries Ride......... [roll]........... a "slight"deviation ( how's the family btw Craig ? ) took us on some dusty terrain......that was a late night for yours truly.......
Not us of course....but this was the road.......and this bend is called "Goldys Corner" if i remember rightly

He won't though 'cos I'm gonna steal his gauges.
thanks for clearing that up betty! forgive my ignorance, but are you saying low milage it good or bad for the leniency they will give my bike? i have 9000kms on an 02 bike.
I think they're suggesting that the judging panel prefers a bike that has been ridden and still maintained to a high level...
So less likely to award someone who buys a new bike and parks it in their lounge room in a hermetically sealed bag.
Is there a class for best unwashed?

That's the one. But it is only one of the judging criteria ... and I think they bracket the mileage. In the past it has also been used as the gamebreaker ... eg. two bikes score similar points but the one with greater kms gets the gong.

Sounds very much like our Teff.
to get the miles up he puts the monster on the paddock stand in the lounge room and runs it for a few hundred Klm every week [laugh]

Hi all,
Seeing that the Concourse is nearing, I thought i would bring it upon myself,....not to be selfish,...but to share my cleaning secrets to anyone entering. Shows how honest and upfront i am. [thumbsup]

The bike was looking so nice the other week.
Spray them or something!
You can use my stock bear tray and side panels if you want. (beer tray is already off and the side panels are a quick unbolt.. one of them is already stickerless!)
You're not allowed to pull out now, not after all the 2V rivalry we've seen going on.
p.s. - might be worth a post in the mods forum if you haven't already. (disregard - of course you have)
p.p.s - the gold lettering on the black box in the back of your photo looks like the same bloody font that gollum used for his precious.

Different plastic think it is abs on the tray and side covers you better race down to autobahn and grab a rattle can of vht paint and plastic primer [thumbsup]

Got a spare one in the garage if that will help Suzy
Awww, you guys are too sweet. Thanks for the offer, but so far (I've done one of the side covers, and am part way through doing the beer tray) they come up nicely when I remove the blooming (and the textured surface) with 240 grit emery, then work my way through 400, 600, and 1200 grit. They look different to the factory finish, but not as different as they would if I painted them.
Actually I quite like the result. And they're just right for making molds from...

I've always wanted to try my hand at carbon fibre. These pieces are just right to replicate. If I wanted to make carbon copies, I'd start by making a mold of the ones I have in fibreglass, then polishing up the surface of the mold and laying carbon cloth in that. By removing the texture from the original pieces, I make it a lot easier to get the mold surface (and hence the final bits) nice and shiny.

Not sayin Precious is original in any form. :(
Just put that up for those who think they will not be competitive with a stock bike, actually they have the advantage if it is a clean early model showing little wear and tear and some good klms. [thumbsup]
Oh and Teff that was not aimed at you either, we all know you are a lost cause [roll]

[laugh] ... actually I spent about 5 mins on it this morning - the Boss, on the otherhand, had been cleaning it midweek for me ... what a legend. I still think there may have been a miscalculation on the scoresheet somewhere, but I will take it with great pleasure.

The raffle I won was an overnight stay at the Fraser Suites for me and the mrs.
Oh an I have never won anything before in a raffle. [clap]
Rob
That is truly fantastic ... considering how you have quietly worked around some major family issues recently, maybe it is just karma giving you a pat on the back.

Congrats all on a great win, very proud of you all. :-* :-* :-* :-*
*sob* not only did that bastard Rob beat me, but I just found one of my cameras didn't have any film in it, so I've only got half the photos I took :(
Congrats Rob - your bike looked really awesome. Congrats also to Betty, Dannog, and ducmonrob.
Yeah, conrats to everyone who won, commiserations to others........its a nice feeling to come home with the plaque I must admit.....makes it all worthwhile...

Had a chat with the guys at Frazers when I was checking out the Diavel
apparently they are having a SALE next week on helmets RobS ,all XXL should be able to squeeze that head of yours into one [laugh]
Oh and he
the bastard only won it cause he spent 24 hours cleaning the chain link by link squeezing me out by a mere point or two....................but im not like bitter about that or anything ;)
congrats to the winners and everyone who entered, some really nice bikes in there!

Yea sorry Des, the heat got to me. And you wouldn't read about it even with a dirty chain I won! [thumbsup]
Looks like the Oz Monsters are definately a bread above the rest of the riff raff.
Did some one say a ride in my back yard???? [thumbsup] [Dolph] [thumbsup]
Sounds great!
I must say that I do need to pull my finger out and get over your way for a run!
Rob
well done all. i love the fact that every year (at least the last 4-5 yrs) the ozmonster crowd continue to win these categories. it gets shared around different winners each year. congrats all.

And a big congrats for your win too Dannog [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Rob
Good work OzMos - cleaned up again. ;D Congrats to all the winners. [thumbsup]
Yes Heather, they did well......one minor problem though........it is 6.30 am here.........I have already had a txt msg with photo attached this morning from that rather rotund, Mona Vale member gloating about his win, derogitary remarks about my bike plus Des's (he sais it has gone downhill since you got it Des) , plus demanding celebrity status from all members........AND txt's way into last night............yawn yawn.......... [coffee]
It is refreshing how humble Mr RobS is about his winning something yesterday...............can't quite remember
what it was he won ? think it was a sympathy vote that got him across the line from what I have heard.
The scary thing is he also got a bunch of stickers as well [puke]
Rob I have an old Chinese proverb for you

Please please Des.........I'm totally over dogs for quite a while..........Rumour leaking out from DOC officials yesterday, was that the 4V judge found what looked like dog fur caught up in my chain and sprocket.... [bang] ...Kharma maybe.....? [roll] [roll] [roll]
Guilty till proven innocent i say........! [coffee]

On a more serious note, congratulations again to all of you OZMO winners..........
BUT Wobbarrrt........I do realise that you actually won, so there is no need to keep sending me these photos below.......I counted the same photo 7 times today, starting around 6am to be more precise...... [roll]

Brian mate, you really need a haircut and a shave. You've really let yourself go.
Congrats Dannog on the 4 valve gong - the mighty S4RS looked the part on the day! [clap]
couldn't have done better myself...

Some great looking bikes on show, not to mention some big smiles. Well done all!!!
