Title: Yes another VMX Tragic, looking to connect with other VMXers.
Post by: Neil 025 on October 17, 2008, 08:33:04 pm: Hello, my name is Neil and I come from, unfortunately, Canberra. I raced junior Motocross at a track that some people will know as Karmaguttza. It was a fantastic old school motocross track on the side of a hill. I still have scars to prove how visious this track could be. Most of all though I remember having heaps of fun on my XR 75 (K3) and my YZ 80 B, C, and D. I also had an RM 100 for a while there.

Hello to anybody who reads this. I am looking forward to getting to some races next year with my XR 75, which will hopefully be ready to ride by then.

Cheers!

Neil

I'M WRAPPED THAT IT IS STILL THERE AND THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE STILL ENJOYING IT.

Post by: Neil 025 on October 23, 2008, 08:49:39 pm: Hi HL 400. What is your name? I can still feel the dirt inbedded in my shins after coming off for the 100th time at that track. "hard as hell" is so right. My son - who races A grade senior MX reckons I am a woos. But, anyone who rode bikes in the 70's and 80's will testify to how hard it was on natural terrain MX tracks with the old bikes. I reckon MX riders these days are so spoilt and safe in comparrison. But, of course I am not beleived just like I found it hard to believe stories from my father about riding around Australia on an old Indian 950.

Cheers. Neil
