Default My first Motocross Bike

I found this picture on the net. Wow does that bring back memories. These things were from about 1975 and were actually called "Motocross". They were built tough, but were SO HEAVY you were tired by the time you got to the end of the driveway.

That does look old. Its probably a solid steel frame right? Cause that would make it heavy.

well that is the first time I have ever seen a bike like that. That is pretty cool looking, sucks that they were so heavy though.

Hey I used to have one of them. It is proabbly still in the shad back at my parents farm. That one is kind of trashed but they came with a plastic gas tank and fork boots as well.

They were the bike to have back in the day.
