Hi VMXers.
Ive decided to use my aquired nickname, for obvious reasons, as the username for this site, Mudguard, shiny on top & s#!t underneath. Also answer to S#!thouse, as my initials are WC, or possibly it's to do with my riding style. Well enough of that crap. Previous history with dirt bikes. First bike I threw my leg over was a Honda mini trail, and rode straight through a backyard fence. Think I knew my destiny from that point forward. First bike purchased was a near new YZ80E in 79. Started racing in Newcastle and surrounds in 79. Next was a YZ80G then YZ125H. Jumped to the other side in 84 to a Honda XR500RD only trail riding for next 6 years. In 1997 got the bug again, another Honda CR250 1990 model. 1999 back to Yamaha until 2006. Now have 1976 YZ250 & 80 and looking for advice to set up the 250 for VMX racing. Now out of breath, sorry bit long winded.
