No that's how a motocross track should look like, wide, free flowing, technical, rough and fast.

Bloody kiwi's and your rolling green hills ;)

I would think all the weight would help the bike through the bumps in a sort of "Cadillac Effect."  I've noticed from my own experience that heavy-ass bikes (like a 350 BigHorn) will just glide over things that would jostle a motocross bike around on.  Of course, when it comes time to brake and take a corner, the game's over. :P

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I have a 300lb TT600 thats had a fair bit of work done to it.
I hardly ride it any more. Just too heavy  :'(

It's just too hard to get back on it after clocking up hour after hour on the TM300. :D

It just sits in my shed gathering dust. :'( It is good to look at though.

All of those big bore old school 4s had a "50lb bag of cement on the handlebars" feel to them. I can remember once ripping the handgrip right off of a big bore Yamaha trying not to crash.

I have no idea how Scott Summers raced those things.
