Chokey,thanks for posting that.What a close race.You could even see back then the difference in handling between the 2t and 4t.Either way amazing how they handled the bikes back in the day with little to no suspension usually no brakes and tremendous weight especially by todays standards.I wont even mention the foot pegs. :-X

Holy shit at 6:45!  Man, that's great racing.  You just don't get action like that with supercross.  Jump jump jump turn jump jump jump turn.  The good old natural terrain, rough-ass tracks of death and destruction were just great.  I think that if that had remained the status quo in the sport, Husky would've lasted longer in the limelight than they did.  Suspension and durability were their strong suits, and the bikes were tailored for maniacal Scandinavian tracks.


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?
