I have been talking to another member about this topic so here goes .
These thoughts are for discussion only Im not wanting to shake up the hornets nest just asking .
1 Why do we have so many age classes .
2 Would all in as far as 125,250, open. Could this be a answer to the lowering of time , money needed be a answer .
Ok before you all scream bastard my Daughter\Son races in under 30 , think if he\she is good enough they will win the class in the main event anyway . My thoughts on age races is for us older buggers that rode these bikes when they were new . What really do a under 30 or u40 have in common with these bikes .
Already I have heard talk of why bother going to the Nats its a kids race (why don't they ride moderns , why take our trophies and on and on ) . As a older fart ok younger fart (Super Senior ) I can see how some will think . I know myself when a younger rider flys past me and I wonder why ive stopped why bother but we need to go forward and include younger riders but not at the exclusion of older riders

General Discussion / Pre 70

« on: July 12, 2014, 02:49:31 pm »

In keeping with the Evo debate . I would like to know if the new KTM free style is able to be included into pre 70 as a follow on . my reasoning is that its called the new dt1 , it has two wheels , a 250cc motor , suspension at both ends . I think this justifies it a a follow on model . Your comments please

Yamaha / bargain (gloat)

« on: July 12, 2014, 01:51:46 pm »

I recently bought on evilbay a set of 1976 YZ forks , good price but US post made their yearly profit out of me . getting back to my gloat , the forks where in very good con even the air pods had minimal scratches But the gaiters were in excellent con even the brass vents all still in place . These gaiters are rocking horse poo to get and when they do come up on the evilbay its your first born as a deposit . Iain
