Paul if you spent more time on your bike rather than Teffs,you could be in with a chance.

If my bike has a chance now that precious has retired, your not saying much about the competition

Due to unforeseen circumstances Precious wont be entering the 2012 Concourse DE elegance.
So now the 2 valve monster category is up for grabs,and going to be handed to the next and best cleanest bike on a Plate.

Geez anyone would think that no other bike had ever won before. When precious won last year I know of at least three previous winners in that category that didn't enter (you know other classes and all that).

Of course it is not all about outright cleanliness either ... refer Teff last year.

Hopefully we have a lot of Ozmos turn up because everybody seems to be becoming increasingly distant. This is as good a social occasion as we have had recently ... a bit of light banter isn't a bad thing ... but it's just a little trophy. Anyone could win it ... but just come along anyway.

True, except for Teff

From the judges on the day, 1st hand report, Both 2 valve and 4 valve monsters came down to the wire, very stiff competion.
The chain cleanliness was the deciding factor
Then i guess if the chains/cleanliness weren't an issue, it would then come down the asthetics, wow factor

just a little trophy.

Go and tell that to the guy who has spent the last 10 years restoring his old bucket of bolts, Duc
Some actually do take it serious.
I  know of at least one person who spent a phenomenal amount to get that trophy back 

This will be the fist time I have been able to sneak a look. The little man is keen to come along so I will be on 4 wheels...

I'd love to come along for the social occasion but work is on so I'm out for the day.
I do agree with you Betty and it would be great to have a big get together again and maybe even do a ride along with it!

Hope whoever turns up has a good day and the trophy winners have clean chains. 

Hi all, I've been a bit quiet around here of late.
Just wondering what the go is for this event tomorrow?
Is there an OzMo spot on the day, or is it just each to their own?
It's looking like i'll actually be able to head out there & would love to catch up with a few of you, rather than just wander around by myself.

No designated spot,
We shouldn't be hard to find, just look for the  us milling around the Monsters

I should be going. Wife and little fella will follow in the cage.
My money will be on Dez's S2R to take out the 2 valve crown.

Can precious win again if it's owned by someone else?

Dez should be there with Luba in tow i hope, tead carefully though as his Mum passed away late last week.
See you there Dez, take care mate.....

What a magic day, weather wise!

Wish I could have stayed longer & actually entered the bike. Had to leave early, but at least was able to drop in for around 90 min's or so & say g'day to Brian.

Here's a few snapshots for those who couldn't make it;

Thanks for a great day! It was great to meet some of you this time! Well done and congratulations!
Hopefully next time I'll be able to enter and hang around a bit longer
Thanks again
Dom

I heard there was success today, thanks for the photos Dan there was some nice looking bikes there. I think that red S4r looked a little too clean though.  

Just so happened I had the day free,sooooooo I snuck out and socialised a little......result being...

Found this regular tucking into an icecream or two........      



A stand in photographer hard at it



This I found unusual for a Duc Concours,    our Dan T doing his Elvis impersonation.....
