That one actually belongs to a good friend of mine. It's a Red Racer built DG reproduction frame.



I've actually seen your bike quite a few times on my various hunts for trick XR stuff and am very impressed with your bike. It actually inspired me to build this XR frame that I've never finished.

77 YZ 80 swingers are the perfect width but the cross member needs moved back slightly. Sounds like I need to send this one to you to finish : )

Speaking of AHRMA-- I've been whining about AHRMA doing a vintage "pit bike" class. I'd love to run a clapped out twin shocker XR75 with a Takegawa 124. Or... a CR60, YZ60, or air cooled KX60. Would anybody else be into it? --L*64




I'd be up for that for sure! YZ60,my first bike been looking for one of those for quite some time. AHRMA mx and roadrace national coming to RoadAmerica this year, I can't wait!



GOOD IDEA MY FRIEND.

Why not start a petition and present it to them about the pit bikes?



With the cost of the new 4 stroke (big bikes), Vintage seems to be the place to be. I'd like them to have a front disc brake class, or a "Bomber" type of class for 20 year old bikes, so we could more easily find a bike to race with, where every part isn't completely obsolete. They have some more modern bikes that race in the road racing events.



About the pit bikes-- any pre-1985 air cooled two stroke 60, or XR75/80/100. No big bores, just suspension mods allowed. Two classes that run in one race-- 16-39, and 39+. How's that sound? I'd love a YZ60, KX60, or an '83-'84 14/17 inch wheeled XR100 with a boxed swingarm. Haha! Let's make it happen!

Keep them pictures coming ! From what i understand mini racing in the early 70s was really big down under. A guy in Australia even produced a PK mono shock aftermarket frame. I guess about 12 or so of them. Had a chance to buy one a few months back. I passed on it. I couldn't relate to it. I begged my father to order a REDLINE frame from the Minicycle mag in the 70s, never got it. I'm trying to locate one to buy. I can have them reproduced if i find one. I have only seen pictures of two of them. The one is on BBR web site, it was stolen from their shop a while back ! And the other that was turned into a flat-tracker, pic below. O well the search is on.......
