    Old/New dirt bikes

    Well I've been trail riding my 1976 Yz for a long time and recently bought a 2006 Yz450f, holy sh..tt what a difference 30 years makes in dirt bikes. Every time I ride this thing it just automatically puts a smile on my face. Who needs a shrink, this is the best therapy there is!

    Thanks, yes you are so correct ole hurricane hannah was the champ back than. I still have a old DG motorcross helmet that I got his signature on from those days. And back than I raced my old 1976 Yzx 125 which was the last aluminum gas tank and first mono shock motocross racer Yamaha put out. I think I still have the original owners manual for that bike too.

    Use to love watching that show. They had some great interviews/coverage of Bob Hannah, Marty Smith, Roger Decoster and all the other greats of that time.
