You will have to accept the fact that as we get older a younger generation follows with their idea of the past ::)  Firkos  post pretty well sums it up

 VMX will still be around with the current crop of motocross bikes being looked upon by 2033's racers as heavy, primitive old dinosaurs. The sport will be little different to what it is today except for the bikes being used. Pre 60/65/70/75 and Evo bikes will be considered museum pieces and pre 90 bikes will be ridden by the crusty old farts and considered a bit like pre 65 is today. Pre 2000 will be the main class and the few YZ450F and CR450Fs that survived will be the ace race ride along with Husky 360 and Kato 250/300 two strokes.

You might be suprised that they may take it more seriously and insist on period riding gear etc.  I know a few young bloke's who are into old British and American bikes from the 40'/50's and they live the period right down to haircuts.

I doubt Pre '90 bikes will be viewed as heavy dinosaurs. They're a match for current bikes (with a bit of set-up) and I'm sure FAST, good handling two strokes will give a young guy a boner no matter what the date is on the calender.

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

You guys are so funny. But seriously fork the electrics, I only need that to pump fuel, run my A/C and the fridge. I want my petrol fumes.

And what is wrong with 4T KTM's? I have 525 that is now a tad over 5 years old and has only ever had 1 new plug and a new R. H. radiator shroud after a tangle with a jet propelled wallaby that was stone dead before it hit the ground. Bulletproof reliable so far.  8) 8)

Why are we worried about 20 years from now when most of us will be invalids anyway! Everyonr knows a good golf green, the day Viagra doesn't work anymore - cut the shit out of it, cops go easy on seniors just pee your pants they'll know!

We may not be riding but we will probably be watching.
