Brooweena has attracted about 30 riders across the three grades over the past two years. Interest is building so we are expecting a few more this year. There would be about the same number of spectators as well made up of wives, kids, locals and just interested people. Last year the vintage bike club turned up for a few hours on one of their rides.
Not big numbers but very very friendly people.

Hi guys ,I have a question ,i dont have a pre 1980 twin yet ,but i do have a twin shock bike .Can i still ride in a competion class on my 1984 model post classic bike ? Hope to see every one in Brooweena cheers
I think the MA bible says a twinshock classic is pre December 1986. The bike must have twinshocks and not fitted with disc brakes. All our bikes are pre 80 just because that is what we have. If your bike fits these criteria you should be right. Now on the off chance that I am wrong please don't hold me to that but I will ask the others to make sure.

No David there still a work in progress ,I havnt had enoth time at home, been busy with the QLD series . Having a blast riding the tlr . I dont think my Fantic is old enoth . Mal from Gas Gas has some new tube type michees in stock as well
General information to clarify some questions I have been asked about Brooweena 2009.
The bike you need for Brooweena is a pre 1986 twinshock with drum brakes. We did only have pre 80 bikes a few years ago but that regulation has been relaxed to fit more with the MA definition.
Costs for Brooweena this year have not been finalised but $20 club membership and $15 single event licence will not be far off the money so I am told. Cheaper by $15 if you have a MA licence.

Just a quick word about Brooweena guys. I'm in the process of finalising the paperwork and while some of the info stated above is accurate, some isn't. The dates are right so that's the main thing. I should have everything sorted by the end of this week and when I do I'll start a new post titled "Official News-Brooweena '09". I'll have all the info in detail including host club, entry fees, machine eligability, camping, etc. I will also send this info, via email, to Angela Sophias (Rocky Trials Club) for her to forward to her email list. Thanks.
