just picked up a kx 60 for my kid to learn to run a clutch better on his 85, he is to big for it, but I traded an old chevy 305 I had laying around for it. And I had a new one in 1983 so it kinda brought back some memeories

Announcer having each rider say who he was and what team he rode for while on the gate at the start of the mains. At the 97 L.A. Coliseum race Deegan said.. "Brian Deegan Moto xxx, My dirt bike pops wheelies!"
