Hi Team I Wanted to say Hi and my son and I are keen to get into the vmx scene and don't know much about it.
I used to ride a maico 400 twin shock back in high school and believe me no-one loved my bike we were the ugly ducks agains the yz's and cr's but it was all I could afford. Years later I raced with the PCRA and again I chose the cheapies and you'll probably laugh at those bikes too. We raced a bultaco 250 , a yamaha 250a and even an aermacchi 250 again because they were cheap when we needed the cash I was pleasently surprised at the return on investment. I now have a couple of sad xl250's from the early seventies a 73 xl100 for my eldest son and a 79 pe175 for a bit of 2 stroke action.We live at colo vale and at a quick glance this seems central to Appin,mt Kembla and the Canberra circuts. I'm not a brain surgen nor a master fettler/mechanic so I've joined the forum to pick your brains as problems arise ( i hope thats ok). We intend doing the calender in the next few months and are looking for a club to join (any suggestions???) So if you see some rat bikes and a scruffy feroza full of kids come say g'day don't we don't descriminate against shiney bikes even you maico owners. ha
