In 1986 I was 10 years old. I used to ride my pushy past BW Northcott suzuki in blacktown.
I dreamed of riding one of those bikes!!!! Never did though I had no money no chance of ever riding one let alone racing one.
So much so at around 12 I piched a whipper snipper and put the motor on my old BMX (Also got hammered from the oldman when he saw it)
Anyway I never got a bike untill after my son was born. Now i have a go at riding pre 85 and for sure I am not a quick young gun by any means but i love it.
My point is this I started racing at 38 on a 77 model bike (just one year younger than me).
I would personally love to see pre 90 at Heaven and have sent my vote in as I will be OS.
For me this is a real positive and makes sense.
The only negative is I have to find a pre 90 bike
