My other bike MX400B 1975

Post by mtbrider »

Took my MX out for the practice day at Raubers Road on the weekend (and yes it is painted up racing yellow YZ C style).

Had a great day for some one who has never ridden motocross and only trials 30 years ago.

Like my TY250B this is how it came. George did a fantastic job of doing it up. I have worked out that it is better financially to buy them already done. Well for me it is as I don't have a workshop or a lot of tools nor the time. I am always out on my mountain bike anyway. But looks like I will be on the MX a bit more from now on.

Hey Chippa - is that Mega gunna lap you, or are you that good already?
Wow, picked a mean class to start out in - best club though.

You don't actually ride that do you? I mean those racing pics are photoshopped aren't they?

Superb job. Possibly the best I've seen.

No photo shop. I bought it to ride it and that is what I am doing. My TY is too good to ride so I don't want two show bikes.

Turtle the mega was heading past me although I held him off down the straight (only because he didn't want to go into the bog hole). It was a practice day so no racing but as he is a mate on the Maico he was after me. He was sure to beat me as he he has a better machine and has had more than 2 rides in the last 30 years.

Good theme for a new thread: "My Other Bike"

I bet there are some interesting other bikes out there.
By the way that is also a very nice old MX bike, takes me back to the days of riding around on my Yam, Yam, Yamaha,..yamin's Ok.
