Was that really you Ed that just wrote that or Hodaka Dave?.... or are you on some good shit?

Sounds good Ed. I'd love to get back over to the the US/Canada but it's not going to happen in any foreseeable future. The times when I was there between 2000-'03 (including Sept 11 2001) I wasn't really into VMX, infact I'd never heard of vmx and just considered my old bikes to be simply old bikes and nothing more I saw what I considered some absolute bargains but these were bargains were of the 4 wheeled type such as Mustangs, Camaro's, Trans-am's, Impala's and the likes from 70's and 80's. Driving around Canada I could not believe the wrecks I saw wasting away in paddocks I showed a few locals things like our own Bathurst monaro's and XBGT coupes and they loved them! I guess it's all a matter of what you are used to eh. Just walking to the local 7/11 seeing all the models that were rare as shite over here made me feel I'd died and gone to tappet head heaven. Will have to get back there 1 day as I really did feel quite at home from the moment I arrived especially in Ca. It's the winters that killed me, -28° isn't exactly ideal for someone into bikes and used to sub-tropic conditions enjoy!
