As someone who actually raced a 125 back in the pre 70 era (Bultaco Sherpa S), I wouldn't wish those primitive dung beetles on anyone. I reckon there wasn't a decent 125 until the Japs started to get it right in around '73.

I have just bought a pre 70 125 and was going to race in the pre 70 250 class as there is no 125 class. Is this OK as I just read about bikes riding up classes in EVO and thought I should ask the question?

Yes, but only because the classes for Pre-70 are Under 250 and Over 263.
The later eras have a minimum capacity, which prevents you riding up a class.

Yamaha CT1 with 34mm forks is a surprisingly good Pre-70 250 - compared to the admittedly not-brilliant DT1, what they lack in grunt, they make up for in weight/steering.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

There is no 175 barrel in the world for this bike as i wont change a thing except fuel and oil. It is a sachs 125 5 soeed which DKW used the same motor, frame and exhaust are different. There is a DKW in issue 18 of VMX and although it has 5 gears and 4 neutrals it should be a fun bike. I had a brief ride and it goes pretty well for a 69 125. Love the earls fork it is smooth and lifts up when you brake instead of diving, very strange.

I had one to had the worst ignition system around, when it decided to load up on the start line you had to sit and wait for it to clear.  My dad made me trade my AT1 in on it.  I had stripped the AT1 down to stick a kit in it.  He told me it wasn't a real MX bike.  First race meeting he turns up on an AT1 could have killed him!!lol

BUMP

Well fark my old boots.... The bloke I was going with has pulled the pin on going to QLD. Reckons he can't get the extra days off of work so now I'm struggling to work out how I can afford to go by myself.

So here's a question for any Victorian riders who are DEFINITELY going to Wryalong......

Does anyone have room for me and 2 bikes?

Or, if anybody else is stuck with a way to get up to QLD, I can fit my bikes and gear on my ute and put someone your bike(s) on a trailer if you have one. I do have a box 7x4 box trailer that we can take if needed.

HELP  :-\

Do you still move bikes? If so do you want to transport your bikes up ahead of time and I can store them and pick you up from the airport. I can take them to the track and back as well.

Try and get them up early with someone coming up then the rest is the same.

Just posted my entry,had planned to get up to Queensland last year but it didn't work out. Have been  spending some time on my pre70 montesa , fingers crossed it can hold together for 3 races ;D .
I plan to give it a good run at the up coming Viper grass track.
Cheers Terry.

That would work too.

It seems there aren't any Mexicans on here that want someone to share the driving and costs of getting up there.
