The Shop
97 CR125
88 YZ80
83 KX80- was so far advanced from the 82 KX80 that I had, it was like having a factory ride in the Intermediate class.
85 KX250- loved that bike.
86 and 87 CR125's, great bikes.
I guess I would just like to own most every MXer I grew up with, except my 86 KX250. I hated that heavy boat anchor pile of crap. So I switched to an 86 CR125 and loved it.
And while I am at it, can I have back all of my old JT gear as well?
If I could just go back to when I was pulling my little homemade
3 rail trailer with my 1976 YZ125 X on it behind my 1968 Road Runner !!!
Simpler times indeed.
When my dad passed away in the '80's, I was lucky to get ahold of my first two bikes I ever had while settling his estate in Bakersfield ,California. Had not seen them in 20 years, but the '68 Honda Mini Trail was buried under a bunch of cardboard boxes in his garage, and a close family friend had my '70 Indian Boy Racer 50 that my dad had loaned him for his kids. They are rough, but both run, and I got 'em!
I experienced this urge, ( to restore old bikes I had or wanted as a kid ) in 1987.
And I fed this desire for five years and spent thousands of dollars, not to mention the hundreds of hours of labor.
I met some really great people, and some not so great, during this process. Had a ball!

Put a 75 swing arm on it with Works Performance shocks and a pair of Metzler tires.
I had been on an 80 only a year prior, and had been racing a 125 for a year.
I had thought the 125 was a "big big" until I rode that CR250!
After a lap or two on the CR250 I questioned why I would ever want to shift a zillion times a moto on a 125 pegged wide open & screaming.
That bike stands out to me as my first "real" MX bike. I'm not bagging on the 125 loving crowd here, but since I was a big kid, it was like I finally found the right fit for me.
I went on a tear from then on, and I recall winning throughout the remainder of 1984 on it (including a state championship).
Of course not long after this I was struck with the dreaded "Girls & Cars" syndrome that has derailed numerous potential pro MX careers including my once aspiring one too!!! LOL!!!
Anyway-- If I had a time machine, I'd go back to 1984, that CR250, and my all white Sinisalo gear (...and still have that gear that fit me too!)

Larry even liked it, so much so that he let me ride his 76 Pursang.
