If you could borrow the good doctors police box to revisit a time in MX history (obviously your the temporary doc so you can adjust your age upon arrival )when and where would you go back to and why  :)

I got interested in MX about 1975 , prior to that i used to go watch with my parents very regularly although only as spectators , and i was to young to appreciate or remember a lot.

Me i would go back to 1964 , i would be 21 years old so i would have finished my time and have a few quid. I would be in the UK and would follow the GPs across Europe  :) Apply for a job at the Rickman factory (sweeping up will do ) See Joel win his first one , Jeff Smiths glory years , the coming of the 2 stroke & Paul fredrichs domination . Be there at an age to appreciate the coming of the Japs  :) Joel and Rogers domination , the Yanks cottoning on to what a great sport we have  :) After 75 i have a reasonable memory of the sport and have followed it ever since . but to go back and live those glory days as an adult Hmmm  ;)

If l could go back in time. l would save up all my pocket money, lawn mowing money and buy my brothers F21M off him, also his 69 model 360 gp, plus buy the fellows cz twin port, and Gary O`brien 65 model 125 Montese. it was a pre unit montesa in a francis Barnett frame. I have that bike on CD Disc, but does  anybody have any old photo`s of the bike. It looked like a small la cross.
