Hi, just wondering from faraway Vietnam, was anyone audacious enough to try & enter a twin shocker in Pre 85, if so, were they flogged with a cat of 9 tales, strung up with wire or whisked away by the nazi's, never to be seen again. No one over here can tell me

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Ballard ran one pre-85 race, and one Evo 263+ race (along with a pre-75 race on Ross C's YZ360B). Two different '81 Maico 490s, which side-steps the "one bike = one ride at the Nationals" thing.

The rest of this discussion is driving me mental - I think I need to do a flow chart to work out eligibility, because reading and understanding the rules is clearly well beyond many of us.

there was a set for sale on Marks site last year i think and they came with an Ohlins shock. Theres probably a few out there, just gotta pass the word around and do some real detective work, it will be hard though. Ive been looking for a WP fork kit for 38mm suzuki forks but havent found one yet.

What are you trying tdo Leith and with what model? There are Simons , Fox ,AlBaker etc kits for 38mm forks. I got some simons that might work - could let go for the right $.

GB also ran a Maico in the Pre75 263 class but the engine seized.

So the 490 maico does still legally fit into EVO and Pre85 at national level?
If so, i will pay 2 entries and have 2 different numbers next year so i can ride more races.

Hi Motomaniac, having a great time. If you like Asia, this is a wonderful place. Why we ever went to war with these people, we will never understand. Me & Mrs Maico went out to Long Tan yesterday with a helicopter pilot, who was in the battle, it was an unbelievably emotional experience, something evry aussie should do.
If you saw the Long Tan battle fields, how anyone survived is a miracle. Back in Oz soon

Simons kit s - not forks. would be cheaper than wp

While I was sitting on the line in the Pre 85 263 class a fellow rode his Evo 263 bike off the track and into the grid. I thought that was not allowed.

I'm sure i saw Roy Gay doing that, dunno what the story was.

[kaw440]

you sure did see that think the rules got a bit lost somewhere JohnnyO

[Ji Gantor]

At the time I thought it was odd but I was focused on my own problems, it was not until I finished the race when my wife, Mrs Gantor asked me what the story was with this fellow riding the same bike in two races.
