Just amazing! It's like having the test pages of the original Dirt Bike Magazine come to life! Thank you so much for sharing this collection for all to see.
I had the 72 100 mx also mine had a dark green tank, it was a screamer revved out at 10,000 rpm. I used to smoke Yam,DTI 250'S On a small track without any long straightaways.
Dave, you are a man after my own heart. I could appreciate the YZ in the background. I had a '78 YZ250 when I was 16. Thanks for preserving the sport for future generations to appreciate.
Awesome bikes, brings back old mx memories. My first dirt bike was 1970 Kawasaki 100 Trail Boss, then my first racing bike a 1972 CZ 250, then raced for years.
my new favorite channel i grew up east side SJ late 60's early 70's dad bought all boys motorcycles my 1st was the family Honda 50 then 125 Yamaha as an 18 year old had all 3 of 1977 YZ 400, TT 500 and RD 400 i was in heaven thanks again for the channel
Very cool. I remember racing with you in Northern California in the mid to late 70’s. I was an AMA National number from 1975-1979 when I got hurt and had a spinal injury. I still enjoy bikes from that era. Nice to run into a familiar name....Kim Blackseth
Beautiful Collection ! TY for sharing, perhaps you can make a part 2 showing more of the bikes ? Though I'd try to sell you on making a series, where each episode is dedicated to 1 make, maybe 15-20min long . Dirtbiking was my way into street riding & unfortunately I havn;t been in the dirt in yrs ( last time was on my '87 suzuki 450 GL w/a few psi out of the tires & NO jumping,LOL ) TY again & hope to see more from you.
Love your collection. The Yamaha you show at first is also the same bike I raced as a kid. Wow that takes me back some great times. The second bike, the CZ looks exactly like the one my brother had at the time. Thanks.
Wow!! My dad bought me one of those Yamaha 100MX dirt bikes. I raced it a few times at Carlsbad raceway when they had CMC races there. Have not seen one of these in almost 45 years. thanks for posting this.
Damn that's so awesome man. My life and job are shit. It's been almost five years and I lost my job of sixteen years due to it shutting down. Had to sell everything and can only afford a roof over my head and barley food. My life was dedicated to riding. The bike I had kept out of all seven was my totally restored cr480 had to sell anyway four years ago to servive was my everything. My whole life I rode and collected. Now I'm just use to the fact I guess this is my destiny and how I was suppose to end up. Poor with nothing. Even just to have a bike to go through the trails to work and to look for a better job would be a dream come true. Your so lucky man!!! Very nice collection!!!!
Great interview, Dave... and an awesome collection! My brother and I really miss watching your excellent skills on the motocross track... and of course miss racing ourselves. Whenever I make my way back to California I should stop by for a visit. Hey, do you have any PowerBar stickers on any of the bikes? Take good care ;-)
I loved the cannondale bikes and atv's. its sad they never got them sorted. my brother had the 440 speed atv that thing was a monster the intake valves were huge
Love it! I used to work in the industry 80-90's. I used to salivate over the 73 Yamaha 80 when I was a kid. Later I had an Honda SL-70 as my first bike. Great memories.
Kozmo260 My second bike was a 72 SL-70. Dad bought it home and it was a race bike stripped down to basics. Preston Petty fenders, Webco exhaust, cam and a 20mm Mikkuni carb off of some bigger Honda
Oh my god!!!! can i come over and walk that collection some time. You sound like your in california, im up in tahoe. Ill bring beer. Workin on a 79' XR250 right now, but im going more custom. My dad gave away 3 ossa's in like 88' i was in 5th grade and had no pull. My gramps gave away 2 old hondas and a yamaha that same year. Man! those guys I'd love to have those bikes today.
Nice collection! I have 10 bikes im fixin up but not the money n time for perfection. I just like to see all my bikes running n close to original. If someone wants to do after i sell em go for it.
Hi Gary. My mom's brother's name is Art. He had a son named David. We were at the family reunion a week ago and I saw the collection 'tis amazing. I want to trade D.C. a couple of 7 draw parts cubes for a rebuildable Honda Elsinore. Tom
Neat, down-swept expansion chamber with fiberglass arrestor on the stinger. Those old Elsinore gas tanks laying on the parts rack there are aluminum - no rust, it think.
I just bought a 1973 185cc suzuki endro for $50 dollars need gas line and it will run I'm 43 I leared to ride on a bike just like it when I was 15 now my son will do the same yes.
Got a new 73 yamaha mx 80 for $325.00 when I was 11 yrs. old. Then it was on to the 73 mx 100 exactly like yours the next year. Bought it used for $275.00 from a neighbor who raced and had gotten into the new (at the time) yz class. Wish I still had it or the 75 Honda CR125 I bought a couple years later.
mark carpenter I was going to ask if his first Yamaha was a MX series. A friend had a 76 MX-175 and the engine looked close to that one. It had a high pipe though
As a manufacturing expert back in 2000, (or 2001?), I drove from Michigan to Bedford PA. to interview for a job at Cannondale. I got offered a job, but it was not enough money for me and I turned it down. about 2 months later, I read a test on it in MXA, and they tore that bike apart like I have never seen before in my decades of reading that magazine. About 6 months later, they stopped making MX bikes, (and quads). Too bad. I really wanted to see a high production American made bike that was competitive. A big factor of why they did not make it IMO is the area they were in, and how hard it must have been to find qualified people both in management and floor people. I could tell, the automotive guy they hired to run the motorcycle factory, (who I interviewed with), was not the right person for the job. Even though California is a terrible state to have a manufacturing business in, they might have had a better chance there because of it being central to the MX industry in the USA.
Wow what a beautiful collection of vintage moto-cross bikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............................................just sayin ......................:)
its crazy i had a 1980 maico that was in very very good condition someone took the engine apart and took the piston out and left all the head bolts out its like it was neesingbits first rebuild but the person that ownd it never had the money to fix it and it set in his basement for years
Let’s see your collection. Amateur MXer from 73’ to 81’. Raced Suzuki’s and Maico’s. Road CZ’s, Rotax, Rickman’s, Yamaha’s, Honda’s. Husky’s, Bultaco’s, AJS, Ossa’s, to name a few.
My neighbor had a AJS, I think it was a 360 ? It was fast though, Those were the Days, I rode with all those you mentioned except for the Rickman don't remember that one ?
Joy to see so many machines taken care of and displayed. What a treat...!!!
Just amazing! It's like having the test pages of the original Dirt Bike Magazine come to life! Thank you so much for sharing this collection for all to see.
I had the '72 version of that Yamaha 100, i raced the heck out of it! Was 15yrs old. My friend ran out and bought that '73 version. Back in the day..
I had the 72 100 mx also mine had a dark green tank, it was a screamer revved out at 10,000 rpm. I used to smoke Yam,DTI 250'S On a small track without any long straightaways.
Dave, you are a man after my own heart. I could appreciate the YZ in the background. I had a '78 YZ250 when I was 16. Thanks for preserving the sport for future generations to appreciate.
Thanks for sharing!! How about another more detailed video of the bikes. Walk around tour maybe?

Groovy scene! I enjoyed this video, brought back good memories!

awesome!!! love your kick and go collection! show more bikes!
One of my favorite bikes was a CZ 400 I had in the late 70's that was a beast. Great collection ...
You needed to say a pray when you climbed on that CZ.. Nothing had power like that monster.
You had to go easy when grabbing a handful of throttle for sure. It was the torqueist bike I have ever ridden.
Love your collection. The Yamaha you show at first is also the same bike I raced as a kid. Wow that takes me back some great times. The second bike, the CZ looks exactly like the one my brother had at the time. Thanks.
Wow!! My dad bought me one of those Yamaha 100MX dirt bikes. I raced it a few times at Carlsbad raceway when they had CMC races there. Have not seen one of these in almost 45 years. thanks for posting this.

My first race bike was also the 73 (LT3) MX. I had a 125 reed, milled head, porting and Fun-n-fast air cleaner. Very cool video.

I wish that more bikes were shown, and fewer words were spoken.
Awesome Dave .... do you have a Tel Number love to talk to you About your bikes Did you live in Quebec ? Canada ?

NICE JOB!
Awesome collection. How about all those fox shocks sitting on the shelf? Damn!

Thank you EL SALAVADOR (Mauricio) You have amigo saludos from California!
Unbelievable. I could look at your bikes all day long.. Have you ever heard or do you have a Kramer? I just recently found out that they even existed.
Love it! I used to work in the industry 80-90's. I used to salivate over the 73 Yamaha 80 when I was a kid. Later I had an Honda SL-70 as my first bike. Great memories.
When I was a kid I had a little Indian 50 & the kid down the street had a Yamaha 80. I was so jealous of that 80.
Kozmo260 My second bike was a 72 SL-70. Dad bought it home and it was a race bike stripped down to basics. Preston Petty fenders, Webco exhaust, cam and a 20mm Mikkuni carb off of some bigger Honda
@@scottgolden2766 Petty fenders, I remember those, the looked so cool I swear they made the bike go faster !!!!

Love your collection. I have a 83 Husky CR500 in waiting to be redone. Love the Maicos but just cant seem to find any for sale.
I should have never sold my 1989 KX 500. Truly a awesome machine. It was a beast.
Nice collection! I have 10 bikes im fixin up but not the money n time for perfection. I just like to see all my bikes running n close to original. If someone wants to do after i sell em go for it.

Neat, down-swept expansion chamber with fiberglass arrestor on the stinger. Those old Elsinore gas tanks laying on the parts rack there are aluminum - no rust, it think.
