Yea, 60 years old, and I can't find a good kidney belt anymore. :)

Too bad. You missed some great racing not to be seen anymore on our new "tracks of equality" that keep everybody the same speed as much as possible. How come you kids never complain about cell phone audio and connection quality? It is terrible. You never had a land line phone, (or its privacy). Hannah, the dominant guy of 76-79, (Before he broke his leg in a water skiing accident,---with Tripes driving the boat, long rope I hear, in a unknown river they never skied in), was never able to win Daytona. That was weird.

I had the 1979 YZ125. That was back with a kid making $1.00/hr at a part time job at the age of 12 could afford to buy a brand new MX bike every 2 years, (until the 1986 production rule, which tripled the cost of a bike in 5 years). It was a left over, 9but new) as the 1980's just hit the showroom floors, but that bike only cost me $850, the highest price I paid so far for my 3rd dirt bike, (1978 YZ100 was $800 retail. 76 Kawasaki KD125 was $750). We can call your bike a "dinosaur", but that was the best era of MX in the USA by far, (all the developments with little cost hike till the 1986 rule), and we both know,---you still have just as much fun if not more, not on a $10,000 bike, but that easy to work on dinosaur. :)

My 79 YZ was my dream bike in high school by the time I got one I was probably 40 years old I also have a 1981 it 465
