Watched it before sx the other nite,good stuff.

Tonite is not a replay.

Several old mx bikes were sold, a TZ 750 flatracker, even saw a 500 2str Suzuki roadrace ,what was it,a gamma maybe.

A big bertha excelsior hillclimb bike broght 90k,it was just cool

They go on an on about patina,leaving them unrefinished.

My 73 mx360 Yamaha has been leaned against the wall in a old house since a flatrack race in 81 ,all patinaed.

Wonder what it would bring.

Saw a 74 HD mx in my local paper a while back for $6500,had new knobbies the add said.

They just sold off 3 mxers. 81 RM250, 79 (I think) CR250 and 78 YZ400. The RM went for only 3250, I didn't catch what the others brought as I was flipping from auction to football and trying to listen to Pulp at the same time.
