1980 RC500, only 3 known to exist today. Have to wonder what this would be worth and to ride!

I'm not even close to 50 and I LOVE it! thanks, Motodude! check these out, while you're sniffing around...

www.vintagefactory.com

www.classicmotocrossimages.com

they are both awesome!

and for those of you youngsters out there who think this stuff is stupid, or whatever, do yourselves a favor and go to these websites to learn a little about the history of the sport. there is MUCH more to motocross than triples, scantily clad women holding drink cans, and flat billed visors!

1982 Honda RC250 - a TRUE Works Bike. Cool That thing was so far ahead of it's time. I remember when they brought those things out the 1st time, jaws dropped.

If you dont think that stuff is cool as hell, you are not a fan of real motocross.

Does your mom know you are on the internet past your bedtime?

I was living in Clearwater fla. in '82, on my way home from work I spotted a Honda box van in a small riding area not to far from Sunshine Speedway in St. Petersburg. Low and behold it was David Bailey and Jim Gibson doing some last minute testing before the national. What stood out to me was how these guys were killing these sand whoops that were 3-4' deep. The suspension was magical and I never heard a 2 stroke that was so throaty. I got talk to both of them for a bit and even they were rock stars they were both very civil to me.

Jimmy Weirnet , Oakland '79 paddle tire later banned .




The track De Coster is on was used up to the late '80's ( Luxembourg I think )but they ran it the other way just to the right of the pic is a stone bridge they go under.
