I went to the last club day for moderns on sunday. I took three bike with me. A Maico 490, '80 CR125 and a CR500'85. At the moment i dont own a modern, 'cause i keep on falling in love with another ol' girl
. Anyway, cr500 for the vet's , and alternate between the other two in the trail bike/ pre '85 class ( very loosely pre '85) . There is a local pro rider which most would know , Nathan Crawford, who i know really well. His eyes lit up when i pushed the big red to scrutineering. He said " i wouldn't mind a ride on that" ,i said " dont let fear get in the way then". No i didn't, just threw that one in! I said too easy ,just say the word! And he did, in the last moto. He was winning all day and when he jumped on the ol' girl he did it justice as he came 4th. Everybody had a laugh about it and i thought it was cool! And Nathan came back with a big smile on his dial. I also lent it to another youngster who rode it in the pre '85, Matt couldn't stop smiling either! Just thought i'd share that
