All new except the frame paint which was so nice I decided not to repaint it. As you can see by the front forks, footpegs and rear brake pedal, it was in fairly good shape for a 34 year old bike.

I never felt so worthless as when I owned my 1976 360 Husky and my riding buddy had a 370 Pursang, both bikes which had seen better days, and we were pretty evenly matched, and he bought a brand new 400 Magnum just like that one. I couldn't keep him in sight on a track.

Beautiful fall day here in the Northeast and I was able to put my socks on by myself this morning so what better reason could there be to go for a ride today?

The view out my office (trailer) makes it so hard to concentrate...

just remember, you dont need electricity to hit the track

I recently move to CNY and am looking for reasonably close Vintage MX racing. Any input?

BTW, I ride an 84 Husky XC250.

Thanks

Winchester mx in NH is going to have a 3 race series in NH for Vet/vintage bikes, probably far for you but a great facility!

AMA-District 34 has vintage classes and MSC as well, all these track are east of you (Albany and south) but I am sure there is AMA (Dist3?) around you.

Hurricane Hills in Pa. is a nice place as well as Evansville Pa. which is on our schedule.

You have to drive a bit but there are plenty of places to race!

theDoktor · 02-17-2013, 10:42 AM

Thanks. Evansville, Broome-Tioga & Southwick are on my list. Have to check out the others. Considering the ARHMA race at Unadilla too, although that one will get a bit pricy with a one race membership to ARMHA.
