Parts are starting to get hard to find for some pre 90's as well.
Some gears are NLA for my 87 KX 250.
& I have had a few enquiries about pipes for some models lately as some of the big players (Pro-Circuit) apparently aren't interested in making pipes for them any more.

Down here we also have 4 stroke Evo  with a few 77 model HL500's .So they can race 4 stroke evo ,pre 78 and evo over 300.
I would love to see 4 stroke Evo as a class in the rulebook. After all , pre '75 gets to have a 4 stroke class . Then I could bring out my 510 Husky or Can Am Sonic to play . I'm sure that they would be more than a match for any HL500 . It would just be the rider holding them back  :) .

It was a great event motomaniac, well worth the trip.  You will see one of dads old evo/pre85 ktm 495s in the back ground of that first shot.. he sold it to a gentleman in tassie. A tassie legend! 
I wish i had not of had a busted shoulder and could of had a roll around, it killed me watching.  I just wanted to lay into a couple of them loamy berms.. :'(  bike or not, the dirt looked sweet..

I'm all for keeping motorsport as affordable as possible, and I hate it when people say crap like "Well, motorsport is expensive you know".

But I really have to wonder how many people can afford to go racing, but can't afford $700 for another bike. If you look at what it costs to go racing (licence, club membership, fuel for the bike(s), fuel for the car, riding gear, entry fee, accomodation, etc), then I can't see $700 breaking anyone.
Particularly when its $700 for a tangible asset that can be resold if money really is that tight.

I've spent a couple of hours today, tarting up the blue YZ125E/DT175/IT175 hybrid that I dragged back from Harrow. It looks like it will owe me $300 (and some favours to Tony and Freaky) to get to a 'race ready' condition.
OK, so its not a sexy bike, and its not going to win any Evo 250 races - but it will be another ride at a race meet, which is what we're talking about, isn't it?

I'd gladly ride my 490 Maico in Evo and Pre 85 if i was able but the rules at the titles state you can't ride up a class. I don't make the rules Einstein, i'll take more than 1 bike and do it by the book.
Who the fork are you.. 414's bitch?

I am 414's pimp.. but i happy to be his bitch..  
  Is it riding up a class or down a class?  i think its called enjoying riding in any class we legally can ride in. When the rule book changes, we can then follow that and ride in what ever they say we can enter in.  I race the 490 against the 2009 model bikes down here... thats riding up 20 classes :o Me bad

I dont think People cant comment on other peoples financial situation.. I dont own a running VMX bike at the moment, so i ride what i can in what ever i can, and enjoy every bit of it.

I've seen Johnny O ride and yes, he can back it up.

I dont doubt it in the slightest.. I just hope to follow and learn something from the guy ;)
 What classes are you all riding at the nats? Be interesting to gauge the forum talent between all the states.
I hope the good old Vic boys can shake them up in a few classes... again..

Evo unless it's got a hidden disc brake, watercooling or a dummy shock.
