MX fifty years ago.
Sorting thru stuff and I found some old photos from my moto cross days so I snapped them on the phone to share here.
What great times they were.
Everything was about the next race. Travelling all over great friends and excitement.
We did not have long travel suspension with about 6 inches in the forks and 3.5 inches for the rear wheel.
You had to be super fit.
I trained every day except for race days or when banged up.
I learnt the importance of preparation and attention to the smallest detail and that work expands to fill the time you allow it...but if you have to race in an hour you can rebuild the motor and make the start.
I hope others here can dig out something to recall fifty years ago.
