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.
Some pics

Hey Mtbrider. Sensational job........ looks like it was just wheeled out of the showroom door.
What did it look like when you got it?

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.
