Hello people,
I've browsed off and on since the new format was introduced, and enjoy the "enthusiastic" discussion, so decided to join in.
I'm an old man of motocross, remember it called "scrambles" when I started, riding a Yamaha 80 & an Ariel 500 twin(with shackle heel rear end, so don't forget the kidney belt).
Progressing to a Dot 250, then a Greeves Challenger, I became addicted to Spanish speed, with Bultacos, Montesas and Ossas carting me along. I retired from racing 30 years ago, sold my KTM 250 to become a family man, no regrets.
Unfortunately, about six years ago, after stumbling across a copy of VMX, I attended the Whitsunday Classic MX meeting, and was hooked again.
In the last few years, I have restored a Montesa cappra 250 and a Bultaco Mk3, ridden them at moderate speed but enjoyed myself immensely. I am now in the market for project 3, prefer Montesa or Ossa, too many Bultacos up here.
The young guys may be going faster, but I've got the biggest grin!
Mike
