There's something seriously cool about seeing VMX bikes hauled around by period vans and trucks.
You'd have to dress the part though with open face helmet, leather boots etc

I've probably put this up before but I can't find it now?
Thanks to Jackie Mac for the only decent shot taken while I had it ::) ;D

That photo is obviously taken before it decided to reverse itself down the street, across a busy road and through someone's fence  ::)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The prices the yanks pay is the craziest part!
Those Nissan vans are $25,000 new, something similar in Aus would be at least $50,000.

The biggest rip offs are reserved for the poor suckers who shell out for F350's and so on.

In Australia a 2006 dual cab - the guy wants $112,000!  http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?Cr=5&R=9142015&keywords=&trecs=34&__sid=130E756E73B0&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&__Qpb=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&seot=1&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294966463%204294966062&silo=1011

In the U.S - the guy wants $27,000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-F-350-POWERSTROKE-06-F350-KING-RANCH-CREW-DUALLY-VERY-CLEAN-LOW-MILES-81K-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2c5d960e18QQitemZ190548676120QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks

It's hilarious, both 2006 models, both dual cabs, both king ranches, both just on 80,000 km's yet the one which has been imported to Aus and converted to RHD is over 4 times the price!

Back in the 70s going to Wallan to race the xr75 and my Bros MR50,We went in the "ambo" .Dad drove and me and a mate in front and Bro in the "Dicky" seat in the rear along side him two bikes in the back .Later on we used a trailer as well because more kids from the neibourhood wanted to race.Back in the 70s this was the only way to travel. ;D
