Shimano Dura-Ace is good stuff - Of course I am talking about 1985-86 components on a steel framed bike. I sense a theme here, all my dirt bikes are old, my bicycles are old, and just sold my new boat that I bought in 1992. I must be old, dang. At least my truck is new, 2005 with 235,000...

Or we can charge him big bucks the shock and you can take home an 81 KX250 for free :cool:

I have a few sitting in a parts tub - likely off an '83 if that fits 85. If you want one, free, just the gas for the pick up.

You will be amazed at the immensity and craziness. Prepare to be haunted by random clusters of riders storming around on tiny pit bikes (risky to turn your back on them - they aren't looking out for you and often have a grilled turkey leg or worse clinched in their jaws that obscure their...

Thanks Mike for this post. Kevin was a nice man and I talked with him a lot at a couple of VMDs. We did some KX parts swapping a few years ago. As I get older it gets tougher to see the retired then passed away dates so close together. He did seem like he really loved life and his family.

Well Done Matthew looks like you put in a great effort! Now let us talk about the spotlessly clean #250 bike we can see over your left shoulder.

Will be there.

That is a good era. I tend to ride my age class for that era. The open next gen can have a lot of teenagers and guys in their 20s. I just get in their way. Although my best race this year was with a 17 year old on his dad's '04 CR250. We swapped for the lead the entire race before he...

I liked the whoops and the track too. It was in South Carolina. I got the OSSA in that section next lap. I chased a guy down in PA last Sunday and jumped past him with 4 corners to go. He was not happy. I had my Cooper Web beating Roczen hat on. He found me in the pits to comment which...

Attached are the classes and rules for AMA Vintage/Post Vintage Motorcycle Days 2021. https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.150/zvh.3d6.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/10-2021-vmd-offroad-meet-guidlines_final.pdf The classes are similar (not exact duplicate) to AHRMA but named...

Likely my last year push with air cooled and twin shocks. I have been riding more and like the rideability and reliability of the mid-90s and early 2000s 2 strokes. Some local KY races (Black Rock, Saddleback, etc. and AHRMA) I'll be 60 next year and might be all-in on the next gen and old...

I am racing a '74 CR250 (Vintage), a '77 YZ250 (Historic). and an '85 RM125 (Next Gen/Pre-modern - front disk/rear drum- from John). You would be quick on the 81 KX and think about how good it would look alongside your KDX. Yes, I got around the guy on the Ossa.

Thanks guys - I plan on going for the weekend and motocross racing. I have a couple of friends that are roadracing and will be there also. John will IM you if I need info. Thanks

He should have been for several reasons. I did polish off his flaky black paint.

Has anyone raced at Barber Vintage Festival? There is vintage motocross but not post vintage. It is October 8-10 in Alabama. Camping is already sold out. Trying to figure out the best logistics. Can rent a tent camping space but won't need if they have a pit area, etc. Parking is likely...

So true. Coming back from a Pennsylvania race on Sunday through Akron. Some dude cut me off aggressively. I flashed my lights at him. He slowed up to give me crap and make sure that I could see he had a gun. Any response and my unconscious bias and privilege would be on display. My son...

I have known a couple of guys that try to buy, prep, race, and sell again all in the same weekend. I think there is a youtube of a guy that did that 2-3 years ago. Kind of an interesting thought. What brand are you interested in and what is price target? I think the days of sub $1000 bikes...

Of all the ways to take a perfectly nice blue dirtbike and turn it into a purple seated, psychedelic ........ work of art. Really like what you did and voted. You are doing well in second place.

Interesting and a good repair - I don't know if this one has a similar issue - will look. Trying to remember where you are in Ohio. We have ridden together at Camp Cattail. I am in Northern KY, close to Cincinnati, and ride at club called Saddleback East - can bring guests. If you would...

It would make a fine stablemate for the 92s and delight Jennifer so much in the living room - but I should be selling and not buying. Things that I'll never get around to working on or use. Like the 84 YZ125 in the back ground or the barn find 79 KX125.
