    This incredible collection brought back a lot of fond memories for me..I owned several of the bikes featured here and that gave me many hours of riding pleasure.
    Thanks for the upload. 👍😀

    I started MX racing at 8 years old on a Hodaka Super Rat, was a tall kid and eventually hit 6’5””. Raced that for a few years and went with a CR125 Elsinore until about 1976 and bought a KX250. I eventually made it to the 250 expert class as a teenager and had a new KX every year. Until I graduated HS and got busy with life I guess. I love the old bikes. I currently am 61 and ride a KTM300XCW. When the smell of two strokes just gives you a feeling. 😉🙂🤙🤙🤙

    • @thatbikersimon
      @thatbikersimon  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It sounds like you have a deep and enduring passion for motocross racing and a particular fondness for two-stroke bikes. CR125 Elsinore and KX250 reflects a significant journey in the sport. Your transition from a young racer to maintaining this interest into your sixties, now with a KTM shows a lifelong dedication. That unique feeling evoked by the smell of two-stroke engines is something many enthusiasts can relate to; Your story is a fantastic testament to these bikes. 🏍️💨💨💨👍

    I loved the metal tanks bike used to have. When Honda factory riders started extending the seat to add some padding to the tank, I thought it look cool and racking the family jewels is a feeling almost all men/boys have felt at some point in their lives. If you have, you liked the idea.
    And paint looks better than plastic. Especially Honda red at that time.

    • @thatbikersimon

      I totally agree the metal tank is iconic. I’m just working on my first Honda Xl 250R 1982 ( video part 1&2 is on now if you’ve not seen it) the tank is my favourite part of the bike or tho I’ve got to get the pings and dents out first. 👍

The kalasaki, what a beautiful bike. That is, and then you didn't explain anything about the Suzuki RM. You just said so here's a Suzuki that bike has one of the most devastating power ban.
