I know this isn't VMX or even Vinduro, but I achieved a bit of a milestone today and something I hoped might happen for the last 15 years.
I bought this bike new in 1988 and then bought it back a while ago.
Long story short, because it's a bit unique, I've had to have parts made and it's soaked up a heap of time and money.
But today made it all worthwhile.....

Did the memories come flooding back when she fire up.

Truth be told, it originally had no decompressor and I always ran it like that. But when I tried to start it this time, I couldn't do it. I got a cough out of it and a really tired leg, but that was all. ::) I would have thought being 20kg heavier than when I last owned it, would have helped! ;)
Anyway, I pulled the rocker cover this morning and fitted a decomp before starting the video. ;D ;D ;D
And yes, it did bring back some memories.
Lots to do before it's ready to ride, but with a few variables in the engine build, I wanted to be able to relax and know that was good before throwing more money at it. :(
Do ya reckon it's too loud? :o
