I used to burn Castrol R in my bike because it just smelled so Damned racy.....Remember that ball of air that would hit you when you walked behind an unmuffled 2 stroke?

Me too, but my boys haven't taken to MX like I did when I was little. Once in awhile they may go practice with me but they have other things they'd rather do on the weekends. Drives me crazy but I'm not going to force the issue. The whole family looks forward to LL's every year but the boys like to hangout. Maybe one day it'll change.

(Works) stands used to be free. Stealing the milk crates from behind the grocery store. Bikes being less than 200 lbs and only having to lift them onto one milk crate.

Late 70's early 80"s MX was magical for me.

Full classes of races, 2 divisions of each class, 500cc class, Low cost to race, the bikes were easy to work on.
