Nada, I was 14yo in 94 and loved all the bikes of OUR era. I also love all the bikes of my DADS era... and everything in between. Im an enthusiast and appreciate all the passion these older guys have for bikes of there era. People think im weird when I am chewing there ears off about maico's at work. I haven't read through all the posts so probably repeating shit! As stated in the top right hand side of my screen.."The forum for fans of old dirtbikes" Me personally, a 92 CR250 is old and I will happily support any mx to create another form of affordable racing away from the modern 4 stroke scene.
Im sure my dad would be pumped for me to have an interest in my era of mxers, just like all us younger guys have been supporting the scene from eras where it was long before our time. It works both ways in my opinion. I have a 1981 Maico 490 that dad built, and its the most satisfying thing ive ever had in my shed. It gets my blood pumping just looking at it. Just need to ride it more instead of just racing go karts!
Ive followed mx closely from early 90's and still do. I started VMX at 22yo, and loved it. I remember when pre90 was being talked about and honestly it was a bit weird but exciting for the few young guys having a crack, at the thought of pre90 in VMX but look now, it generated interest from a different era of riders and is a recognized class. More entries means more $$$ and more $$$ means its a bit more attractive to the clubs to run an event. Seeing simon healys 88' KX500 tearing up the track was unreal.
Good luck with it all, ive already heard a few lads talking at work about what your thinking of from Facebook.
