nachtflugs signature 2 stroke motocross thread

[nachtflug]

Greetings and happy tidings from Nachtflug.

Surfing Marks Vintage Swapmeet today and saw a SWEET 1975 Can Am 250 MX1 just likethe one I used to have so I thought now was as good a time as any to start a thread here. I've been shooting MX photography in the Hudson Valley for over 2 years now and I'm still amazed at the changes in my almost 30 years away from the sport. We were at Unadilla in 72, or was it 71, when they black flagger Arne Kring and they said he was pretty mad when he found out, having ridden the wheels of his Husky. Made it to the big U every year for 10 years and this year was my first year back in 29 years, where I also met our host John Nicholas.

So I'll just post all my 2 stroke ramblings here.

Does anyone have any interest in a 2008 Yamaha WR250R? Its kind of gutless..

now lets see if I can figure out how to post a picture.

hey this is easy. So there it is my, or one just like my 250MX1, not to be confused with the MX2 or the GP. Nothing like getting outdated twice in 12 months..

Gotta love those CanAms. I could wheelie that bike for as long as I had room, just shift a few times and keep on trucking on the old back wheel. I can't wheelie my KLR 5 feet, but the Jammer and Brad Lackey did sign the gas tank at Mid Ohio for me so thats been a comfort.

Hey guys check out this nice Maico I bought at Mid Ohio in 2007. All original. 

I like it so much I keep it inside!

Welcome to the board!!

It was great talking to you at Unadilla. Hopefully there will be some two-strokes competing this year, or I'll be passing on attending in 2010.

By the way guys, if you get a chance to, check out nachtflugs photo album, maybe he can post a link in this thread?

thanks John and sorry for the delay in the response.

I've got a few pictures here, or maybe a little more than a few.

Still have to upload the pics from the 2009 2 stroke race at Unadilla, not that I have a lot but a few anyway.

Here they be.
