damn it, wish i hadn't clicked on it now. Gonna have nightmares. At least in the day i only painted my elsinore [first model] 250--'calf shit yellow' haha, plus mounted twin shocks on each side--not side by side of course but one forward of other to help with damping [or lack of] with ordinary girling shocks, before gassies came out. That's enough info or you'll be wanting to try some of my tricks [or not lol].

To be fair hes invested a lot of coin in those quality Chinka shocks ;)

Kinda reminds me of the story of the doctor at a child birth - the baby was so ugly he slapped the mother!

Now that is one bit of overkill.....still, it must be special for nearly AU$30k.....

Must have fitted the tank decals while hanging a wheelie.

I've seen this video before and enjoyed watching again just now, for me this concept captures exactly what vintage moto cross should be and is about to 90% of the people involved. No attitudes, no glory seeking, no bs...Just a bunch of old bikes, good people and a helluva lotta fun! Anything but a National title should be a day out exactly as is seen in this vid!!
Cheers, Brendan

Brendan I respect your opinion on what VMX should be but that is your opinion . Those blokes look like they are having fun and all power to them .
I think for the majority who are currently involved in vintage MX worldwide we prefer structured events and true racing on period true machines .
Vinduro seems to cater well for those who like to ride old bikes without the adrenaline rush of racing .
Sure there are shit fights over rules and regulations but there always have been as far as I can remember and I started racing in the mid 70s . If its not a proper race im not interested ( CD events being the exception where the riding comes second to the socialising ) and I could enjoy a vinduro as long as it was well organised and scored .
Every now and again I hear calls for more people to do what is in that video but it never amounts to anything in reality . Racers and former racers the world over got the current VMX movement off the ground and continue to keep it alive .
As I say all power to the Hillbillies in the video but its not what I would call VMX :)

Bill, the interview at 7-44 sums up the whole VMX scene..... well in my eyes it does.

If your into the "hillbillies" then go for it, most [probably all] of those bikes wouldn't pass a safety scrutineering checkover and it's all fun until someone gets hurt and then the shit hit's the fan.....the only thing there that floats my boat is the chick waving the finish line flag......she can wave at me anytime. ;).....those turkey legs looked shit as well.

.those turkey legs looked shit as well.
Well it is titled "ugly stick" :) :P
