mossrider Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Speaking as a short course pansy, this video plays like a broken record in my mind every day during morning coffee at the track.

Premium Member fzar Posted March 20, 2020 Author Premium Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Here’s my first piece of gear ever: My MOM found it and sent it to me last year.LOL. As you can see the elbow pads were more than suffice.!!!! My firs introduction to motorcycles was my Dad and uncles. One uncle stood out more than the rest, he was a little crazy. This was part of his equipment he passed on to me when he bought me my first motorcycle in 1986 after he sold one of theses: 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2 Vintage Motocross Racer 1981 Maico 490 Mega 2 Vintage Racer: When it came time for Justin Young to upgrade his vintage ride, there was only one choice-the ultimate open class MXer. I lost my F***** Nut when I heard this ripping around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I will be there next year. Your welcome. It's on my bucket list too, unfortunately it's cancelled this year along with most road-Racing on that side of the pond, so all existing ticket holders will be either refunded or carry over to next year along with accommodations. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but most people are planning this a year in advance at a minimum, I'm by no way saying it cant be done. I mean enough money can persuade anyone to part with something, especially as no-one knows how they'll be looking financially after this passes through the UK along with brexit. I can't really say, I do know if your determined enough you will always find away. I had the pleasure of being to the NW200 in 2010 with my best friend who is also a bike enthusiast and I probably won't go to the TT without him. (probably) We've done Laguna Seca GP 06' 10. Austin GP '13. Daytona 200 and Gator nationals @ gainesville in '14 along with many other motorcycle events in the NY,NJ,CT area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You both have the same qualities of his uncle and Dad, running their own team,doing their own work, and figuring it out. His uncle Joey had HRC mechanics at his disposal and they were dumbfounded by the lack of assistance he wanted. Although they had to do motor tuning as the bike had never been seen before, HRC decided were going to win and dominate the TT. I couldn't even draft off you, not that, that means anything as I'm slow, but I've heard your no slouch. Whatever you choose to do, I Thank You ,for being involved, in many ways think about it: No marshalls, no riding..... We should all do our part. And giving back to board members here with a wealth of knowledge and offering free parts to riders that have layed down their bikes that need replacement oem's. Keep'er LIT......... @mossrider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost my F***** Nut when I heard this ripping around. That’s really cool, Maico’s, especially that model and vintage are still my favorite. Back in our dirt bike days, a friend had a nicely restored 250 Maico. I remember the first time he let me ride it, it scared the shet out me but at the same time it was the most exciting thing I had ever ridden.

TT fan= Yes, Roadrace fan, errmmm more like a fanatic. Thanks for the video Horst Saiger is the man, I think he's the fastests Lichtenstein around the TT course. He's also a nut job at Macau. Also I have to say he's such a positive person, I know he's liked as a personality as well as a racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 When I read "promo" it first registered as "porno". No kidding ... is that normal? Anyway, thanks for the video, it was more interesting than porn. (well ... wait ... there was that one contortionist) 1 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
