Technical / Re: What two stroke pre mix is best?

« on: December 10, 2009, 07:52:10 PM »

my dinosaurs run 32:1 Amsoil or Maxima,both are great oils,and smell good too! ... I mix with pump premium, for the dirtbikes, and the RZs/RDs NEVER run less than 100 oct...I learned that lesson,the only way I know how:the hard way.

General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Maico's we have had

as for my Maico, it's one of the bikes I drooled when I started racing 125 class in '81, a 490. I found it adverted by a guy in Westminster,Md. Mine is an '82 Enduro model. Of course there are others, like my 260LQ, RMs,both 125s,and a 250.The old YZs, are coming soon! A '77 250,and '78 125 !I can't wait to ride them!If anyone has knowledge of any performance goodies for these, let me know. I just picked up an aluminum swing-arm for the 250.Would like to find Simons,Fox,DG,etc... I'll post up the eye candy when they're done.Weeks...

+1 , here!  I too, am glad u started this. I have been toying with the idea of starting one myself, for some vintage roadracer guys I race with ...2 strokes, again! old Yamaha RD 350/400s ...and some others, can't seem to remember what kind they were... , Kaw pies, somethin'or other... Maybe these forums are a good place for the "old guys"... I'm definately not as young as I used to be...that how it feels, anyhow...Keep up the good work!

being gravity impaired, I would look for "easier" tracks, with less "airtime" obstacles.Maybe I should stay in the woods...harescrambles are sorta "smoother"...now if I could just get my stamina up to snuff. What are the options for vintage mx in the east? I have a couple of bikes I could choose from, if the economy/government doesn't force me to sell 'em for whatever the market will bear... ACRMX? is that a series? or organization? I suppose I could do a search...

just say it!  told u so!  My bud's son (and him,for buying it) has one , but he's already riding Dad's RM 144/oversized.He didn't seem too interested in the CRF150.High-dollar 4 stroke minis couldn't possibly be attractive in this economic climate.For owners,or manufacturers.Just wait for the rebuild,when Jr. rides/maintains it like it's a XR100... He talked me into coming out for a club ride @BuddsCreek ,week before last.I took my '01 YZ 125,not even expecting to ride it, and lo'and behold, the club president , said "go ahead,do some laps". OMG! I ain't rode on a MX track in over 2 years! I had a blast! Only fell twice!The last one hurt though, in fact, it still does! Anyway, this forum is right on time!I'm stoked!My membership back into the club,is pending, and will certainly happen.Lemme tell u folks, a couple of the bikes I saw that day there.First,I saw a fellow riding a restored '76?RM 370 in the pits,and then shortly thereafter, I saw a bike over yonder, went to see, and it was another guy whom I know, with a nice '85 Can-AM 250MX! WOW! What a cool day it was! I'm gonna break out the RM 250, and get ready for some winter riding!Maybe even do the Hangover Harescrambles in Jan. Look out BlueCross/BlueShield ! I'll get my ATK260LQ ready for that one! Thanx for a cool site, for us 2 stroke smeller fellows! My personal fav, would be C12/Maxima...
