My mom and dads house was basically on the edge of the pine barrens, what seemed like an endless woods with trails that went on forever, we would walk out and follow trails that were marked with paper tags for an enduro motorcycle race that happened at least once a year, we would sit at an old gravel pit, on the top of a hill where the trail below us split in two, and came up on both sides of where we sat...the motorcycles would scream by us on both sides and the racing seemed to last all day long!...it was awesome!

We always found motorcycles that were being thrown out, or given away by some local people, We would bring them home and use my dads tools to repair them....I remember a honda XR-75...4 stroke, ran great...not fast but reliable. A Yamaha MX-100...neat bike...I think 2 stroke and maybe oil injection, if memory serves me right,...A cool Suzuki RV-90....I thought this was the coolest!, it was a motorcycle with fat ATV tires....it was a two stroke and I couldnt afford rings for it...so we drove it with just the top rings in!....would go for a little while than quit running, let it cool down, than start again....A CZ-250...czlekoslovakian motorcycle....fast as hell, two stroke, shifter was on opposite side.,....my buddy had a Hodaka Dirt Squirt, shifter was messed up, so he had to reach down and manually shift it...his fingers got caught between the chain and counter sprocket!.....luckily chuck didnt loose any fingers!
Also had 2 Harley Davidson M50's....they were a cross between a moped and a motorcycle, shifter was a twist grip, 3 speed....cool as hell, used both to build one good one and traded it for a yamaha MX-125....should have kept the harley....looks like its a rare one!
