It's a good thing you got a pixie otherwise I would never have believed the description

Yeah, My Dad was out photographing the event, and came across the tyre and rim lines.  As he was talking the photo he was thinking "What sort of idiot would do that!"  Then he got back to the impound and found out.....   

When the tyre let go it was a hell of a shock. Especially since one half was still attached to the rim by the rim locks, and the other half was slapping the underside of the rear guard every wheel rotation.....

and the YZ125J holeshots!! 

Holeshot?? Looks like a jump start and a ride through if ya ask me  .

Hard to jump start a LeMans start and not be noticed.....

I thought 125 KTM by the front number plate??

I think you're right after having a 2nd look at the forks and engine case.

Yer my first enduro . Check the road bike gloves. Allthough I am not the only one wearing them.
The bike is a KTM 125 LC 1981 mod I think. Bought it off the guy on the other one.
Had radiator under a very small tank so I knocked that tank up. Did the trick.
Never had a problem in 2 seasons.

YZ125K at a round of the 6 Day Series in 1983 - can't remember which round though.


Unloaded the bike only to discover a flat front tyre - look close and you'll see a tube, time card and goggles in my hands - only just made the start.  I think from memory Dad met me 100m down the road with  my bumbag.  He repacked it after I changed the tyre.
Was Day 5 Woodford .. Mike

1983 - Silverdale - special test.

Yep jump start I was watchin.
Check the KTM .Got the proper tank back on it and a headlight. Ian Denton is pilot, me second lap.That bike by now has now done a lot of pony expresses and Yamaha 6 dayers and still on first piston.

Not a holeshot not a jump start. If you look at the other side of the tree you,ll see Stephen Grant on his way to another win.Mike
