Just remember this.
What is worse than racing this bike? Getting beat by someone racing this bike.
Not a pretty bike but it is much nicer than my old Suzuki .

Ummmm...no.

But, I have to say that someone spent an enormous amount of time & probably money, making the bike look hideous. It's the thought that counts.

I'd take it, then re-do the looks of it. Still a sweet bike.

1980 is the cutoff for vintage racing isn't it? So I would imagine that bike would be very competitive.

Acid trip gone bad.Silly

Even worse, that shit is powder coated on. Good luck turning it back into something less, uh, creative.

Not sure what kind of power that pipe was built to produce, but I'mm pretty sure it would absolutely suck for any kind of riding any of us would do.

You make it sound like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree of MX bikes. Which it is.

you guys don't know what your looking at.......

Fast edddie didn't get his name for being slow.

thats the same bike johnny O mara once raced at chicken licks raceway in 1979,

the red high heat bbq paint on the cooling fins gives it away.

to make the bike really fast you have to wear the white gator pants like johnny did....
