Signs you might be an old motocrosser….

- The 1st task after getting your new bike home was taking off the kick stand!

- Peeling off that ridiculous #1 off your 1980 YZ number plates and ripping the painted black background.

- Racing with a sparkplug & wrench in your boot because you were afraid of fouling a plug on the starting line!

- You only raced on tracks with forward falling starting gates!

- Cutting your race numbers out of contact paper!

- Using color tape to decorate your helmet!

- CycleNews was the internet of motorcycling!

- Adding octane booster to 100 octane pump gas!

- Cutting fork protectors out of plastic milk jugs!

- Your leather gloves had foam protective pads and you had to add leather conditioner to make your dry, petrified gloves wearable again.

Or your Bultaco started backwards and you got a surprise when you dropped the clutch at the starting line. 

Hondaline ! 😆

Oh Yeah!!

Have that tee shirt also, Bultaco Pursang…….but it looked cool.

you know the origins of fox came from moto-x-fox.

tricking out your bike with moto stickers not graphic kits.

making backgrounds from contact paper. 

putting screws or rivets in your bell mag III to get the JT visor to curve like the O'show.

Wearing a red bandana around your neck like RJ.

when someone mentions RJ you think Rick Johnson not Hampshire

I bought carbon Tech reeds from Boyeseen 2 yrs ago. They still come in 3 power band  choices in a cd case.  How cool is that . Another 04 cr125 has a new Rad Valve , works Amazing.  With a iKat Huge improvement in Snap  . Will Torch any 125 coming out of a corner.  A few top secret mod tricks on the power valve.  Power Jet carb mods .  Funny that a 21 yr old bike will beat any 2025 off a corner. Double Boost Port power is like cheating

You gapped your points with a matchbook cover, ran a Preston Petty fender on a Hodaka Super Rat with a Webco 2 spark plug head

Yep Knees hear to

And a foot with arthritis,always get a reminder every morning for 10 minutes and cold wheather. 
Plenty of of visible scars on the shins but I consider myself as getting off lightly, we all know someone who got metal in them for life or even worse.

"we don"t care how the hell they do it in california" on a "cycle news east" shirt

Sitting on a starting gate and trying to remember the stack order of your tear offs.

Realizing that our sport might have died out if somebody had not come up with the "safety seat".

And that reminds me. Anybody else leave a nut imprint in one of those chrome hodaka tanks?

Sitting on a full gate of 125 A while your chic does the math on a 200% payout . On how much money we,ll make. 

You saved your lawn mowing earning so you could buy some Chippewa Line Man Boots at JC Penny's for $29.95

The older I get the better I was...

When you take a gram of Tylenol and 1 Alleve prior to spinning 3 hard laps.🤣

if you remember mixing your gas @ 20:1.

Sandblasting spark plugs so you could reuse them.

..And actually wore Hallman gear. 

How about this one: anybody remember the Iron Jaw accessory that turned an open-face helmet into a full-face? 

Running two plugs in the head in case you fouled one....

One of my 1st memories was sitting on my dad's gastank of his old enduro in the early 80s, late 70s and he'd drive me around the trails in our neighborhood. I caught the fever right then and there. 49 and still have no cure.

LMAO😂😂

I totally forgot about that one! Made you look like an extra from a terminator movie🤣

You saw "On any Sunday" in a movie theater.

You paid to see “Dirt” at the movie theater.

I ran one but it wasn't Iron Jaw.

Maybe Acerbis? Can't remember, but it used 4 snaps.

I’m wearing one here. Mine was called a Pacifico Face Fender.

The pic above reminded me of another. If you’ve ever bought a metal flake open face helmet and painted it a solid flat color. Richway sold them back in the day for $12.95. Out of the box it was a terrible helmet but as an added bonus, the exterior was further weakened when paint was applied to it. 

When you use to describe how you went through a section using BRAAP BRAAP!🤪

You watched "You're a Good Sport Charlie Brown" and thought someone had made a documentary of your life... Down to the haircut. 

And you could tell the difference in smell between Green and Gold label.

How about you show up to your first race with no number plates so you throw on the electrical tape #11 on your gas tank.

How about you had a Datsun (not Nissan) pickup as your bike hauler.
