hard to listen to the german jabber but its a cool race. honda was winning for a while but i dont know if he wrecked or got passed but i think the ktm won. 1 is honda and 9 is ktm

Very kool :D :D :D :D :D

I watch stuff like that all the time.
It was a time when motocross was real.
Men were men back then.
Tattoos and piercings weren't popular back then.
Although Jacky Vimond did wear pink gear. What can you expect from the French?
Anyway, take a close look at the tracks.
The modern Euro tracks are groomed, smooth, wide and fast.
Catering to the 4 strokes.
American tracks for the most part are still like they always were.
Rough, technical and perfect.
I watched an archive of last years Hangtown national last night.
That track is NOTHING like a modern Euro track.
I like to watch the modern GP races but wish they would run tracks like they used to run.
