VMX Issue #56 is nearly here!

[AjayVMX]

Variety is the spice of life, Firko!

I just got my copy of #56 and after rushing straight into page 6 can happily report that the cover girl is not one of those Dutch monstrosities and is in fact a pretty cool custom framed special. Seeing that it's 40+ degrees outside, I'll put the aircon on, pour a cold drink and spread out on the couch with my dwarf hound and spend the arvo reading VMX 56 from cover to cover.
Retirement certainly has its advantages

Any one rung the contact at Conondale in there advert for classic dirt? Interesting to see why they have a contact and Ay Jay says not on thought of yet?

No news in VMX Mike. I don't know what to tell you now, I thought it'd be announced by now as it was pretty much out there at the Nats in November. I'm sure that if the boys were on top of it there'd be an announcement.
CD10 announcement aside, It's a great issue. The twin shock 465 Yamaha cover bike is a great bit of kit as is the home made mini Maico but I especially love the 250 Yamaha Ascot. I once owned a Yamaha DS2 and I'd love another in Ascot trim......beautiful. Once again the boys have done a great job.

Agreed, this issue is a great read and just in time for the xmas break... perfect.  Merry Christmas to all.

Super Hunky story to be continued on page 68......not! What the heck is going on? Is this some ploy to get you to renew your sub for the next exciting installment  Very sneaky 

[PEZBerq]

Panic over. Found the rest of the story lurking on page 78. Just don't let it happen again OK 

[firko]

It's on page 78.. I eventually found it.

Gday Ken and Alistair thanks for running a Great Plug on Page 78 for my Mr Motocross Legends and Stars Charity Dinner at Crown on Mar 8/2014.

I will be doing a full press re: The NOS never started 74 MK7 250 Bultaco that is the main and last Auction Item on the Night, will be marketing it World Wide, so we can help and get as much as possible for Challenge Org , Kids with Cancer.

 Also it will be cool having Goofs bike for first time on display in Public with all the other works bikes.

Stay Safe and Have a Good Christmas New Year.

Still waiting over this side of the Tasman  :'(

Got mine yesterday in sunny Qld.....will read it over Christmas....that YZ/Maygo/ twinshock thing doesn't do it for me...the guy's done a great job but at the end of the day where does it fit in?.....I guess one day we may have a "hotrod" class in VMX for the orphan Annies. Personally, I would rather see the build up of Goof's RM500 and the like than something that's a nothing....it's not like it's a prototype that never got produced back in the day. Just my opinion....still the best VMX mag in the world.

Agree DC it does nothing for me either. I admire the craftsmanship for sure. It certainly is not vintage but it is a homage to the era. Guess it raises the question about what percentage of parts available back in the day does a recreation need be considered kosher? How long is a piece of string...  Guess that makes me an old fart
