Social Darwinism at work... Stop making pie charts and graphs and writing soliloquies about what was what in what year and by how much - more – better - best it may be. Blah frick’n blah.
Put the motion to the committee, wrangle up the votes and make it happen. You can have my proxy. Better yet go to an existing club and tell them you want to do pre 85 and pre 90 or pre 95. Call it SVMX (Semi Vintage MX) or AVBODBDNVEBTOGMX (although vintage by original definition but deemed not vintage enough by the old guys MX). I’ll sign up there too, you can have my proxy.
Earlier than pre 78 at the last Heaven round I attended over a year ago was a snooze. Watching three guys move around the track allowed me to catch up on the sleep I missed the night before.
Please tell me it’s gotten better since then and I suppose this argument will go away.
When you pre 75 dudes were all gung ho about reliving your childhood, things were great. Your now averaging – what 60? Probably not racing this weekend are you? Neither am I and I'm 40.
The guys who have shed of pre 78 and earlier bikes (you know who you are) aren’t parting with them anytime soon so the next gen will have to wait and buy them from your widow in the garage clean out. This limits the bikes available to a point.
Although I suspect that these Gen Y freaks will never leave their couch, so it may be another 15 years until there is a seller’s market.
Anyhoo – figure it out so I know what bike to buy (hoard) next? The suspense is killing me.
Oh and another thing - fix the pre 85 class to be pre 86 so that the first disc brake model from all manufacturer qualifies. There is no outlandish benefit to an 85 RM or YZ. Hate to say it but our K1W1 friends have this correct. I know, I know, it surprises even me.
Love,
