This is the only pic I have. 1986 Husqvarna 400 WR which I got around 1987. (period WP USD forks fitted in 1990 ) It won the 86 NZ Enduro championship with the original owner. Pretty much one of the last 'real Huskys before Cagiva took over.
My (new to me) dual sported 2003 Gas Gas EC250 when I brought it home a couple of weeks ago: After my first ride in the woods behind my house today:
Guy in my dual sport club. I beat the snot out of it yesterday on some nasty muddy trails. All the power is going to take some getting used to, I had trouble keeping the front wheel on the ground :).
Here's mine. 1984 KDX200: These are great bikes. I used to race an '85 back in the day. One of the best trail bikes ever.
Sweet KDX! Excellent shape for its age. Rode DT's and IT's back in the day but lusted for a KDX. Piston
Heres my old beater. 74 DT250 with a few trick parts. Been doing a little vintage mx with it. I reallt wish there were some vintage enduros around here, that seems to be what the bike does best.
where you located? there's usually some kinda vintage cc/enduro pretty much everywhere in the us. maybe only 1 or 2 a year, but there's usually something... and many harescramble series have a bomber/vintage class..
there's a few within 6 hours of you - check http://dev.ahrma.org/?page_id=1972 also - http://www.trh-cycle.org/flyers/2012-Gator-Bait-SATURDAY-Flyer.pdf has a vintage class.
My DT175 is a total sweetheart. Got it from a dude who had it in storage for a few years. A tank of fresh gas, new spark plug, and a clutch cable later it is so fun to hoodlum around on.
Here are a couple pics from one of our Yamaha Endurofests. I am putting together a vintage dual sport ride in Southern Illinois in May Anyone interested in getting the old iron out for a ride?
If you like your 2 strokes of the Spanish Variety, here are some pics from the SMOG get together. This was at the facility where the May ride is being held at, near Harrisburg Illinois.
Heres my Bultaco M143 Frontera 350cc Poppa Bul and I have been together 26 years, so far he was stolen and found the same day with 150 unathorized miles, had 3 rebuilds on the engine a pair off wheel bearings in each wheel and three drive chains and a whole bunch of tires I'm going to have to put a new shift drum and first gear in soon it still works fine just noisey. May do a repaint, maybe not. I don't look as good I did 26 years ago either. Next is a 1974 Puch 175 my brother found it about 20 years ago this thing is fast as hell. Also original except the IT 175 rear fender. This 1951,52 or 53 Zundapp 200cc Norma Luxus is an enduro bike by default, to make a long story short after I bought this 10 years ago for $40.00 plus 10% buyers premium (no shit) at the estate auction of a friend of mine (left overs from his shop), I wondered how the poor thing could get so horribly beat up. I mean frame tubes smashed almost flat and attemps to beat beat them back to something resembling round. At the next meeting the off road club I belong too had, our most senour member (60 years in the club) was asking me about my buy of the day as I was telling him how beat up this poor Zundapp was He stopped me and told me he could'nt remember the name of the owner but it was bought brand from our friends shop in 1951 or '52. It was never used for anything but scrambles and enduro competion. I'm still hoping one of my club mates finds a picture of this bike at one of our events. I found it painted similar to this under a massivly thick coat of brushed on paint when sand blasting it. I still need piston, rings and main bearings.
