Title: How To Win Motocross by Gary Bailey
Post by: John Orchard on April 17, 2012, 03:21:45 pm
I just bought a copy of How To Win Motocross by Gary Bailey off ebay, I had a copy of it in '75 but I seem to have misplaced it.

It should be a blast to read it again.  Anyone else read it/own it?

I've had mine since early 70's. Particuarly relevant as I'm going to race my MK6/7 Bulty this w/e at Traralgon. J

That was the one tip that has stuck in my mind for 38 years, I use to use it when I only had 4" of travel.

I will always remember " never follow other riders lines" you can't win following other riders

 In the "60s i bought Scrambles and Motorcross by Les Archer. A great read. Unfortunately I lent to someone, still waiting to read it again but I forget who'se got it and he probably forgets who owns it!

Jeff Spencer's book, Total training for Motocross is another good one worthy or reading and following too

Another good book is 'Motocross-Techniques, Training and Tactics by Brad Lackey and Len Weed which was published in 1979.
