Hi Guy's,
I''m Dave, grew up as a young bloke in the "EVO" era of motocross, started on mini bikes, a KV-75, my first sensation of speed was on a yz80H in 81 as a 12 year old, when the power kicked in the front wheel was up, and the back wheels spinning from side to side, and watery eyes. Vibration of the handbars etc.. I was in love,,, then moved to a YZ125G, YZ125K 1983 RM250, a few PE's and KDX's KX 500, and a bunch of 90's CR and YZ 250's, I started my young bloke on a RM80c, figured he would learn to feather the clutch to get it up on the power ( no power down low or out of tight corners etc), and enjoy the rush of it up top on power, plus learn how to check his plug, and maintain, it, he tell me now it was so much fun to ride, and now loves his cr's and yz's and is a motocross nut
I use to live next to Amaroo raceway in Sydney in the early 80's, always walked across to watch Mr Motocross, with the crowd gathered in the rocks around the track, loved watching Steven Gall on the Air cooled Yz250's, always had a soft spot for Air cooled YZ's so I have just purchased a YZ250F, looking forward to getting up to speed and doing some VMX events for some fun, seeing how unfit I am nowadays...... and checking out all the bikes from a great era in motocross
Regards
Dave
