Another fun time on my old Yamaha! Racing on the truck track at Glen Helen with OSSRG and AHRMA. This was Moto 2. I went 3-3 in my class today; Vintage Sportsman 250 (all pre-74). 27.JUN.2021
My old man used to have the MX250A in Australia which was yellow. Remember riding it as a twelve year old. This bike in video sounds like it needs jetting properly. Brings back memories
Cool video. Looked like a Rickman Montesa that left the front row before the start. Almost bought one in ‘73. They were fairly common around El Paso back then. Then the Honda Elsinore showed up.
This Yamaha needed a compression release. Could have gone deeper under power and then used the compression release like a flattracker, then rolled into it a bit sooner than the other guys.
@@williamsherman1089 It did exist long ago, but the parents had to pay. If they did it now, they would be arguing over tread wear and piston slap. And the state would be financing it. They would also be required to give trophies to every rider.
Nice bike, my brother and his cohorts used to get really mad at me. 125at1 with a slip on ct cylinder,webco dual spark head and carburetor off a 250 with a down pipe. That 175 ran good
Why don't they water down the track!!? What's really weird is that these are all relatively unmolested bikes! I would have been adding new better performing stuff as it became avalible! I guess some people just go out and buy something newer from the factory!!!
