I had some of the best times of my life going to races every weekend, we were pretty broke so my brother (better rider by far) would race and I would wrench, started with a suzuki 90 with git kit then tm 125 on to the rm. The gentlemen that runs this website is currently restoring a very rare Hercules 250 7 speed prototype bike from the 1977 Hangtown race. I still ride a old DT 250 and try to keep up with my son on the klx.
