June Long Weekend 2012

2012-05-15T00:00:57Z

June already, the year is half over. Can't afford to waste any more riding time or it will be Christmas again.

We had another great Easter break, even if we hadn't had much rain until then. It's great to catch up with everyone we haven't seen for a while and to meet some new friends.

Our next long weekend is coming up soon on th 3rd, 4th & 5th of June, and it's the last one for a couple of months. So don't miss it.

Perth Quad Bikes will be bringing some of their Ballistik bikes and quads. Come and see them in action and maybe have a test ride and see that not all Chinese bikes are created equal.

We have our OXOBike buggies up and running after a small set back (more about that later). They're great fun and so easy to drive that even mum can have a go.

Don't forget to bring your marshmallows to toast around the fire, we have bags of wood for sale but your welcome to bring your own.

If you would like to receive our Newsletter with updates and special offers by email just go to our Contact Us page, enter your details and put 'Newsletter" in the subject line and we'll add you to the list. And don't worry we won't spam your email every week or sell you email address, I hate that!

See you all soon and remember...

Stay Safe and Stay Dirty!

Wet and Wild

2011-05-25T23:55:42Z

Well it's finally rained and winter is upon us. Lets hope the farmers see more rain through the coming months and gives us some mud to let loose in at West Moto Park.

April saw a huge Easter break and we saw a lot old friends come up for their first ride of the year. We wish we could have turned on some wet weather the week before, but everyone had a great time all the same. Thanks to everyone that came and made it a fantastic time.

Leading up to Easter saw heaps of progress on the cafe. We now have finished the walls and ceiling, and even have some paint on the walls. Steve knocked up a couple of counters and our coffee machine arrived. Mmmm, real coffee at last!

June long weekend will see us have our inaugral 'Come and Ride' weekend. There will be specials, giveaways and 'Perth Quad Bikes' will be bringing their 'Ballistik' range of bikes and quads for you to try. Hopefully this will become an annual event and become a great way to try the latest bikes and quads before you buy.

It's been a while since our last post and there have been heaps of photo's added to our gallery. Both of riders having a great time and updates on the progress on our Cafe. Check them out.

Thats about all the news at the moment. Hope to see to you all here soon for some great riding and remember....

Stay safe and Stay Dirty.

Summertime Blues

2011-02-22T06:10:18Z

Well Summer is nearly over, but we know that means time to get the bike out for a squirt in the mud.

And it looks like we may have some mud with the wild weather that most of Australia has been getting lately. Hopefully not as much as Victoria and Queensland have received lately.

With nearly 20mm last week the tracks have settled down and given us a chance to tidy them up a bit, and also extend a couple of jumps.

The 'Table Top' is now 85 feet lip to lip with better kick to it. Needs some serious Cohuna's to flat land it now. We've also filled some holes and added to the first jump on the 'Quad Track'.

Don't worry if your not the next Robbie Maddison, we still have lots of great tracks to ride for all ages and skill levels.

With 'Labour Day' long weekend coming up on 7th March, we will be having our 3 days for the price of 2 again. If you book for the weekend you get to ride Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the same price as a normal weekend. Book now, limited camping spots and Hire Bikes available.

Also with Easter just around the corner we would like all of our riders know of the 'Wylie Wings and Wheels Festival' happening in Wyalkatchem over Easter 2011. We have a lot planned including International Comedy acts, live music and other entertainment over the long weekend culminating in ANZAC Day Gunfire Breakfast and dawn service and parade on Monday.

Check out the Website at Wings and Wheels Festival for more info or drop us a line at West Moto Park and we'll help with bookings and info as well.

While you're checking out the website make sure you have a look at the new photos in our Gallery, Videos and Calendar page for opening times and coming attractions.

And you can find us on and

That's all for now and remember....

Stay Safe and Stay Dirty.

Winter Wonderland

2010-07-02T13:19:42Z

Well it's been a bit of a dry start to winter, but the rain we have had, has let us get back to work on the tracks. Apart from some general maitenance we've added two more jumps and some more whoops to the Pro Track, as well as extending the landings on the 'Ski Ramp' and the 70 foot 'Tabletop'. The Pro Quad Track has had the landings on most of the jumps extended and generally improved the flow of the track. We are always open to suggestions and criticisms of the tracks and we use them to keep improving them. Remember we've built the tracks for you, the rider, so let us know what you think.

The next major track construction will be the first short loop of our ride trail.

Stay tuned for updates on it's progress.

Our Cafe is coming along. Most of the major construction is finished, and we hope to line and fit out the interior soon. Check out the Construction Gallery for photos of the work we've done so far.

Winter is still the best time to come for a ride, even if it is a bit chilly at night. Remember we allow fires in the camp ground during winter. There's nothing better than sitting round the fire, maybe burning a few marshmallows to a crisp, after a hard days riding.

We're also opening Thursday 8th and Friday 9th of July during the school holidays, so for all of you that have trouble getting here on the weekend why not come and give it a go. We hope to open on weekdays more often from now on. Keep an eye on our coming events page and calendar for more info.

We look forward to seeing you over the winter season and hopefully we can provide a bit more mud for you all to play in.

So until then...Stay Safe and Stay Dirty.

The Year Ahead

2009-12-28T04:23:45Z

I hope all our friends that have ridden at West Moto Park this year, and all of you that plan on coming in the new year, had a great and relaxing Christmas break. As I write this I'm sitting back relaxing under the aircon making the most of our time off, thinking about getting back to the park to start on all the new things we have planned.

A lot has happened since my last post. In September we were at the Perth Motorcycle & Scooter Show at the Perth Convention Centre. We had a great time and met many of you to talk bikes. Steve was a real trooper and spent all three days there. We'd like to thank our friends at www.AdventureCamsHQ.com.au for putting together some great video footage shot at West Moto Park. All in all, a great time.

Also in September we had our Grand Opening on the 26th & 27th with the arrival of our first four hire bikes from Five Star Yamaha. It was a great couple of days and the bikes got a great workout and performed flawlessly, not that we thought they wouldn't. It was so great that we have decided to have a big gathering at the park every year with special offers, bouncy castle, live music and hopefully some demo bikes for people to take for a rap. It should be a blast so stay tuned.

November and December saw the hot weather, and we were a bit quiet so we did some more track work. Mostly reshaping and making the jumps bigger and better, and a few more berms. We also did some more finishing work on the toilets. Most of the plastering is sorted and its nearly ready for some paint.

December saw the arrival of the steel for the frame work for the cafe/shop. We will start on that in January and hopefully it will move a lot quicker than the toilets, and we'll have it up in a month or two.

We are also have plans to add a free style area and a purpose built race track. This is from listening to all of you out there letting us know what you want to see at West Moto Park. So keep up the emails a phone calls, the more demand the faster things happen. We will also be looking for input into the design of both these areas, so let us know if you'd like to have some involvement.

The water truck should be up and running soon as well to help keep some of the dust down, especially on the quad track. You guys really stir the dirt up!

We've also had a lot of enquiries for a discount membership club to West Moto Park. This is something we had thought about a while ago, and we're putting something together now. More info coming soon.

Finally, some of you may have noticed our website has changed. Global Fusion have given the site a total redesigned under the hood. This will make it easier for us to add News Posts, Photos and Videos way more often, and a lot more easily. Which should make for a much more interesting site. So have a look around and let us know what you think. We will also have some space for advertising. Anyone interested can contact Steve at stephen@westmotopark.com.au for more details.

We've got a busy year ahead of us, and we hope you can all find your way up for a ride sometime. Keep your eye on our events page for our first weekend special of the year, which will be a Family Trail Ride around Stratfield Farm where West Moto Park is located. And we will be taking weekend bookings as usual for the 9th of January onwards.

So get out and ride the wheels off your new Chrissie present (if Santa was that kind to you),

And Remember.... Stay Safe and Stay Dirty!

Glorious Mud!

2009-07-04T03:26:27Z

What an awsome weekend. A bit of rain during the week and sunshine all weekend weather it a fantastic two days of riding.

It was good to get some bikes on the tracks to give them a good workout, they're starting to get some good lines. We will go back now and add more jumps, and fine tune some of the stuff thats already there. Some of you quad riders need to get up here and give those tracks a bit of stick.

Our toilet block is now fully functional, even if ther a few cosmetics to finish off her and there. We had our local plumber fit our hot water system a week a go, so now the showers are steaming hot. Just the thing for some of us last weekend!

We also now have a YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/WestMotoPark. Its a bit bare at the moment with only one video, but we hope to add many more as we continue. If you want to get a bit more of an idea of what West Moto Park has to offer riders check out Two Wheel Sports channel at www.youtube.com/user/twowheelsports for a couple of more videos.

Check out the gallery on the blog for more pics of last weekend.

Cheers for now and remember...

The Final Countdown.

2009-04-24T05:32:28Z

Once again, it’s been a while since our last blog entry so here goes…

Firstly, we have started sending out a newsletter, if you would like to be added to our emailing list then please send us your details via bookings@westmotopark.com.au.

Thanks again for everyone’s continuing support and contact throughout what has been a long preparation process... To those who have continued emailing and calling it’s awesome to know everyone is supporting us. You will be pleased to know that the park is rapidly taking shape.

We have come quite a long way since we last wrote. Most importantly, our building now looks like something that might actually be waterproof!! We spent one busy weekend screwing the walls and roof onto the building. Thanks to the many hands we had it was all up within the weekend and just in time before the rain started! It’s awesome for us to see the never ending building finally taking shape.

All the tiling was done inside the bathrooms and toilets in only a few days. The plumber paid us a visit and connected the pipes, which now means we have a fully functioning toilet and shower. Hot water is still to come but the shower works!!

The park was open to members who wanted to ride over the Easter break. We are now taking a small number of bookings for weekends up until the 9^th of May. This is for those who want to check out the park before the first official running weekend on the 9^th and 10^th of May. If you wish to contact us for anything, please use the above email or the link on our website.

That’s all for now, we will endeavour to put more details on the website about the park and our first fully operational weekend during May.

Remember,

Stay Safe & Stay Dirty

Nearly There

2009-02-23T07:15:58Z

We thought it was about time for another blog entry...

Thankyou to everyone who has emailed us through the website or given us a call, it’s wonderful to see so many people getting behind us and showing a keen interest in the park.

As the blog hasn’t been updated for a little while, we thought we would start emailing everyone a monthly update. Hopefully this will become more frequent as the park gets up and running. As far as park progress goes, we have some good news to report. All the tracks are close to completion with the finishing track markers being put in place as we speak. The ablution block/building is going ahead in leaps and bounds after a slow start. The frame for the building is all up and together, with the final parts being put in place over the weekend. It’s now time to get the corrugated iron sheets and get started on the roof – that’s our top priority at the moment as we would like to see the building finished soon!! Our tiler will be out within the next few weeks to make a start on the bathroom and toilet floors. Then, all that’s left is the walls!!

It’s been a long process but we thankyou all for your continued support throughout the last few months. Without knowing we have such a keen bunch of followers, it would definitely have made our job a lot harder. Please remember to keep checking the website for updates and maybe sometime soon, even an official opening date!! Also, don’t hesitate to drop us an email or give us a call, we are always happy to hear from you and help you out if you have any questions.

That's all for now but...

Northam Motorcycle Festival

2008-12-02T09:43:16Z

What an absolutely awesome time we had at the Northam Motorcycle Festival! We've been really busy over the last few weeks to get organised to go and have the Park ready for riders. Which is why I haven't managed to post anything new for a few weeks. Friday we set up our awnings and our raffle prize at the show, while watching probably close to a million dollars worth of motorcycles unloaded and set up all around us. It was all a bit distracting.

Saturday saw us up early eager to make our display look its best. We had a very hard working model 'Rupert' on hand to show of our raffle prize of over $1000 worth of Scott, Thor and One Industries MX gear. Our location along the path leading to the grassed area where the bar, show and shine and live music was, was great.

We were fairly busy all day handing out brochures, stickers and entry forms for the Raffle. Bethan, Aiden, Jake and Courtney did a great job helping out. Steve and I would never have been able to handle it on our own. Sunday was even busier than Saturday. There was a ride in from Perth that brought maybe a thousand or more people. We met some really interesting and enthusiastic people, both from within the motorcycling industry and the general public. It was a really great show.

At about 3 o'clock on Sunday Karl Langdon drew our Raffle, and Congratulations to Michael Bettles who won. He was stoked to hear he'd won, and we're glad the prize went to some who I'm sure is going to get good use out of it.

It was a long and tiring weekend for us, but we enjoyed every minute. Thanks to everyone that came and said g'day.

We hope that you will all come and see us at West Moto Park in the new year, and get some great riding in. Well that's about all the news I have for now. We're working really hard to be ready before the new year is upon us. So until next time.......

Stay Safe and Stay Dirty!

Dowerin Field Days

2008-09-04T03:34:39Z

Well we survived the two days of the Dowerin Field Days. Shaking hands, talking to people and selling a couple of quad bikes for Danny at Machinery Warehouse in Midland, really takes it out of you. But we had a good time and I think it was good for us to finally get out and start to promote ourselves. We met a lot of people who were really keen to come. Also you will notice, (especially if you're reading this), that our new website is up. Its still a bit sparse, but I'm sure we'll manage to fill it with content over the following weeks. It can be found at www.westmotopark.com.au, if you stubbled accross our blog some other way.

My posts have been getting further apart lately, as the work load creating the park has been increasing. Last weekend was spent carting gravel for the Pro Two Wheel Track. About half of the dirt we need is in place, the rest should be done this week. Then we'll get into grooming it.

Thanks to Josh Herbert for offering to come and have look and offer his opinion on the design. This weekend Steve is off to Yorkrakine to hang out in 'Paradise'. He'll be going to catch up with a few people at Ray Reids annual ride day. Say hello if you see him and I'm sure he'll have a few stickers to hand around.

Well thats about all for now, and as always...

Stay Safe and Stay Dirty
